Seems North Caolina is a hotbed for DS on Bariatric Pal, do you just have an disproportionate of surgeons doing them?

Im also from Raleigh NC. I actually work in Clayton NC. I had my DS on 31Dec2018. I was borderline obese and had a highly modified DS. I was diagnosed with hig blood pressure and pre-diabetes along with sleep ap so I qualified for the surgery.

Ive dropped 40lbs so far. My incisions are still sore actually!

My wife proceeded me with her DS Mid Dec 2018. She had a terrible start with major gas pains but quickly got over them. She is also doing well and progressing right along.

      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.
