Pre-Op... Two more steps done and out of the way!



Recommended Posts

I'm feeling really good today :)

Had my psych eval - PASSED :)

Had my pre-op w/ Nut - PASSED :)

Lost another 4 pounds - :D

I have my 4th physician supervised visit next Tuesday, then I only have 2 more visits with her to go, and I'm off to insurance approval.

I also went to My bariatric pantry website today and ordered all of the sample packs of Protein powders. I'll report back on what I think of them. I already received my sample packs of unjury... tried the chocolate Splendor already... not the best I've ever had, but it is tolerable. My current favorite is still Muscle Milk Cookies & Cream :lol:

Muscle Milk Cookies and Cream really is the best tasting Protein powder out there!! My local Walmart used to have it but they don't now so I'll be ordering it online!!!

My surgeon requires the 6 month supervised diet to be done with the program dietitian and I had my last pre-op appointment with her this afternoon! They may have already submitted to insurance, if not it will be done tomorrow morning.

That is awesome.... Mine was 3 months however a co-worker wouldn't work without me in the office for my first so was postponed an additional month. Not to happy about that but now if all goes well should be before Christmas. So excited!!!

Found out my insurance requires a pre op medical clearance before they will approve..... so. threw me back a couple of days however tomorrow is that appointment. Everything will go to insurance tomorrow and already have lab slip for gall bladder ultrasound. EKG is already completed since the doc said within the year was good.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
