Any December surgery

[mawmaw65 2]

I have to prep only a week, because they scheduled my surgery super quick due to the Covid. They wanted to hurry and get it done. But I’m also , self pay. The Employer that my husband worked for, Doesn’t allow the Insurance to cover , weight loss surgery. Which is ludicrous to me!

Hi, I'm having my surgery 12/15, counting down...3 more days. Gastric sleeve. Trying to prep - not sure what to have on hand for the first few days. Super excited, but scared of nausea & not having that motivation to get out of bed in the morning, my morning coffee with sweet cream.

Are you just starting your Pre op diet?

I wasn't given a pre-op diet. I've read that some doctors have them, and some don't. I have restricted what I eat the past few days, but giving up that morning coffee & sweet cream is so hard.

Did you have pre-op?

Hi! I just had mine on the 30th - two days in the hospital, now on my first day home.

How did it go?

Yes! My Dr requested to start one 10 days before the Procedure, But I just got done with all my clearance’s from heart Dr, etc. And they scheduled my procedure really quick because of the Covid and I’m self pay. So it only gave me 6 days to prep.

Well, good luck to you! Definitely exciting. I'm sure 6 days is fine, or they wouldn't have scheduled you. Plus, like I mentioned, I've read that some do, some don't. For me, I can't imagine doing a pre-op for 2 weeks - that's why I need the surgery, to help me get over this really rough threshold.

Thank you! Good luck to you as well.. I’m not doing so great at this pre-op..Not having my coffee with Creamer is the worse! Decaf sucks lol. I also need this surgery bad! I just can’t stop gaining!

I'm 5 weeks out and it definitely has not been easy. But it gets better every week. I had to do a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery and then 2 weeks after... I can no longer drink another shake...lol
