Welcome! June is the best group. Just sayin.
I talked to admissions today because I got a z pack this morning for my throat. She said I should still plan on being there. As of now I go in at 9am tomorrow for 11:15 showtime. chicken or beef broth as my last meal? Maybe a couple popsicles. LOL. I was laughing at one of my last splurges at Olive Garden with a friend. I felt like I was eating like I was headed to the chair. LMAO

Wishing you good luck and good wishes :)

I think I’m next. I’m scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 530 in the morning and my surgery is at 730. I had to do the 2 week liquid diet and all Clear Liquids today. My nerves are so bad right now.

You've got this so calm those nerves and let the Drs handle it. Many prayers for a great experience. :)

Does anyone have suggestions of Multivitamins? My nutritionist said Centrum, flintstones, or a bariatric specific one. I'm looking for a bariatric one that has all that I need in one pill if possible. Any suggestions?

Have you given thought to the Patches? Either from the BP store or PatchMD.

I had my surgery yesterday and everything was a success. I am in pain but that much. My doctor said I will go home today. I am going to ask when do I start my Vitamins. I did pee and I went walking around the hospital

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Lucky! I tried but my insurance no longer covers Nutrition Direct. I was bummed out, and they were too expensive without insurance.

So initially they said I had a 70 dollar copay. Then I said “oh ok forget it then, my dr said they thought it would be free or almost free and they said I could use Centrum chewables which cost like 5 bucks, so you do the math...lol.” The lady laughed and agreed with me and then said “hold on” a minute and then came back and told me that my copay would be covered. Lol. Sooooo I would say if you let them know your doc expected you to have no copay but gave you a cheap alternative, they will accommodate. As someone who has worked in sales a very long time it may be worth the expense to them to keep his or her business as a prescribing dr.

I am miserable from survey yesterday. Mostly just nausea and vomiting more than pain. I can't get many fluids down.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
