Anyone else having their consult on the 8th or around that date? I have my first consult with Dr. Ayzengart and I am beyond ready to start my process. I’ll have 4 months of weight checks with my PCP so I’ll only need two more and whatever else he has me doing.

Good luck to you. There will be lots of other tests that you'll need to have done...for me it was an Endoscopy within the previous 2 years, sleep study, psych eval., and 6 months of pcp weight management visits.

Thank you! I’m beyond ready for my appointment. I have to travel almost 2 hours to my appointment due to them being the only closest doctors who accept my insurance. I can’t wait to get the list so I can get the ball rolling.

I have to go to Gainesville FL. I’m like at the state line of Florida and Georgia! There was a place in Jacksonville that I was trying to go through but they don’t accept my insurance and I can’t pay out of pocket. With my insurance, it’s paid for completely as long as it’s medically necessary.

At first I was just going to give up and not do it, but my boyfriend convinced me. He told me he’s willing to take me to every appointment, if that is what’s going to make me happy. He knows I hate taking pictures or having them taken of me. He’s seen me at my best and worst, so he knows I’m not happy with myself.

Today would have been my Daddy's birthday- i he would have been 106 if he was still alive, this means. he died in 1996, just past his 80th birthday. Wowee- almost a lifetime ago! I do hope in some way , on some level , he is watching and proud of ME! Maybe I would feel better if he's telling the other Angels " That's my little girl doing THAT!" Sorry, I'm crying a little, that's the bad part about outliving your family , no one to hug you, no one to share your joys!

      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.
