I Got My Surgery Date...Where Are The November Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

I was just given the surgery date of November 24th, but we don't have approval, yet. I'm really excited! I'm also scared that I'll get excited and have my heart set on the surgery, just to be turned down. I guess there are people that can relate, huh? I want to know, RIGHT NOW!

LOL, I can relate, Ginny. Though I have my date, I am technically still waiting for my approval. I did the psych eval on Thursday, and she should have the letter to my doctor's office by Monday. The doc's office says after insurance gets that, they should okay it within a day. I also worry, what if... :eek:

:mellow: Hi Everyone, my surgery is scheduled for November 7th. I am very excited but now I am very scared after reading this site. Does anyone have any words of encouragement? I was originally scheduled for 10/10, but due to an insurance issue, I was bumped until later. The wait is the hardest thing!!! Anyway, I wish everyone luck as they get their surgeries!

November 24th here. I'm self pay, but I'm also having my gall bladder taken out at the same time. Fighting with my insurance company to have them pay for a part of the surgery...

November Bandster too! My date is set for November 24th. My surgeon sent pre-op test for my PCP to do. So I have an appointment with her in the morning. Blood test, ekg, x-ray, etc...... I have an appointment on the 16th for final pre-op, with the surgeon and the anesteciologist, since I have never been under general before. I have had c-sections before so I know what to expect with gas pains. :mellow: Not fun!!! I don't have a pre-op diet, however, I will be eating higher Protein meals during the 2 weeks prior. I do think that everyone that is pre-op feels the same emotions at some time or another! Good luck everyone! I hope that you sail through your surgery quickly and come out in good health!

      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?

      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.
