I’m scheduled for the same date! 😊

Hi redhead! You are going from sleeve to bypass? May I ask why? I’m getting a sleeve on 5/20 and really interested in why folks get various procedures. And I want to learn from others’ experiences. Good luck to you and all our May surgery buddies! 👍

Who are you talking to? You'll need to either quote the person you're addressing (at the bottom of the person's post that you're talking to, there's a "quote" button. Click that and it'll allow you to talk to that person directly) or you'll need to tag them (do the @ and then their name right next to it and it'll tag that person and let them know you're talking to them). Otherwise nobody will know who you're talking to and you might not get any responses.

Hello, new to the site. Right now my sleeve surgery is 5/2 but, I am a little confused. My insurance just got my paperwork today.

Sometime the surgeon schedules the date so the ins co tries to get the pre approval done by then. When they submit they give a date as well, unless there’s something the ins sees wrong - it works out. Good luck

This worries me. I'm getting the sleeve on the 3rd and I'm really nervous about GERD. Did you have any reflux or heartburn issues before the sleeve, or did it start after the surgery?

I had no GERD before surgery. I had a normal endoscopy prior to surgery and was cleared for my sleeve.

      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.
