Wanda how were you able to put your doctors name on your profile I tried and it keep kicking it off after I save it.

You have to use a PC, when i tried on the app on my phone it did the same thing, even my profile photo.

@Marisol Unda Do you have to do the pre-op diet? My doctor told me I don't have to, just to maintain my weight and not to eat anything after midnight the night before surgery...I know every doctor has different requirements from what I've read on this site. Just curious...

I do but just the day before. I am so excited there are so many of us. Yay for us! I'm suddenly not feeling less nervous.

I guess it must be a MAC thing because I tried it on my MAC computer and it still won't save it oh well, thanks for letting me know nonetheless.

I did have to try it several times and then it finally popped up with a location map and all lol. I think it may be the site and how it's set up too...please lets stay in touch so we can encourage each other. Your surgery is 1 week after mine yayyy.

Am I first? I don’t want to be first. I’m so scared and nervous. I promise to report everything and what to expect. I’m so glad there is a group of us doing this at the same time.😺

Congratulations! I see that your procedure will be endoscopic. I'm seriously interested in the ESG procedure. Do you have any recommendations for good doctors in the Southeast (USA) that perform the ESG procedure?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
