Hi Geneviève,

Thank you so much to let me posted on Keith's surgery. I'm so happy that everything went well. I'm glad he was one of the patient who were able to stay for the night. Like they say, "Better be safe than sorry. Most of all, you're telling me he is in good spirits and it's one of the main thing.

I sure would be pleased to go for a coffee and maybe answering some questions Keith might have. As you say, we're not staying far from each other.

I'll say it over and over again, I don't regret for a second to say yes for my surgery. For me it's a miracle coming true.

I don't think Keith has any regrets either. I asked him when he woke up from the anesthesia and later on last night and he seemed happy about getting the surgery, no regrets whatsoever. I am happy that he feels that way. It is going to make the transition easier for him and for our family.

I just got off the phone with him, he is tired. He had a semi-private room just in front of the nurse station and he said they were loud all night. He got no sleep at all. I have the feeling he will be sleeping quite a bit when he gets home to peace and quiet. But besides being tired he is feeling well. He has not taken any pain medications yet. He says that the pain isn't bad enough to take anything. (Maybe he is just being stubborn too.. ha!ha!). Well with that being said, I'm going to head down to the hospital and wait with him for Dr. Savoie to make his rounds. I am pretty sure Keith will be posting on here later on today!!!

Bonjour Keith,

Tu n'y vas pas avec le dos de la cuillère . . . déjà 41 livres, SUPER!! Pour ma part j'ai moi aussi perdu 41 livres mais cela m'a pris plus longtemps que toi. Que veux-tu, quand on est une femelle de 50 ans, le "body" ne veut pas toujours faire ce que l'on voudrait. J'ai pour la première fois, bloqué à cause d'un boeuf "Strogonoff" depuis hier midi. J'ai pu mangé ce soir mais j'ai du resté debout sinon cela faisait mal. Il a fallu que je revienne au Boost diabétique pour une journée bien que cela soit encore sensible.

Hi everyone. I was wondering how many times you have to see Dr. Savoie before you get your surgery date. I've had all the blood work done and saw Dr. Savoie back in January. Then I had a follow up with him in early Sept/09. He explained the surgery and said he'd see me again in a month. My next appt is Oct 19/09. Is this when I will go on the boost?

Thanks :)

      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.
