9 Days Left,excited:)
helleva replied to traceylynn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi my surgery day is the 24th.. one day before yours. I just did my preops today. I am so nervous and excited. I am also down 7 pounds from the Protein drinks. I almost caved in today but so far so good. My coordinator did say I can chew on lettuce, tomato, and cucumber if I absolutely needed to eat something. Denise ♡ -

Hi, So just got off the phone with my coordinator. She told me that I need to be on nothing but protein shakes, broth, & water and if I absolutely cannot take it.. then, I can eat lettuce, tomato, onion, & stuff in that nature.. but no dressings or meats. She said this is detoxing my body along with preparing my body for surgery so that it doesn't go into shock, & to lose at least 10 pounds to shrink my liver. Denise

That's good. I have to get my gallbladder out because I have gallstones. We should make a thread for all "July Sleevers"

"Laurabr1, Yes, we will make it! I'm so thankful for this site!! It helps so much. I love to read and share my thoughts and opinions. Are you getting your gallbladder removed too?

Texarkolina, Please keep us posted hopefully we can help each other out with questions and comfort! Denise ♡

Taylee, Yes, I have a facebook. Do you? The coordinator did say they have a Protein drink there for $60. My friend just had a gastric bypass but with the sleeve. I think it's dual something lol. She bought chewable Vitamins from Wal-Mart. I think I'll call my surgeons office tomorrow to verify what exactly she means by a protein diet.

Hi, I was so excited on getting my sleeve and now that it's finally happening (7/24/12) I am getting so scared. Im scared that I'm not gonna wake up, that Im gonna get a leak or some kind of complications. I have three beautiful kids that I just can't leave behind!! Oh gosh, anyone have similar thoughts or had them before surgery? How Did you make it t through? Thanks
-
Sv2, That's great you sound like me I am so anxious and ready for my sleeve! I'm fine thank you. I just want to get the email and these tests done. It doesn't seem real yet. How are you? Denise

Hi, I have a bmi 37 and my doctor just diagnosed me with mild sleep apnea. Does this help my chances of getting approved? I also have one kidney (donor) & had gestational diabetes with my last baby.
-
SV2, Hi, Any updates? I am surely set for the 24th I was suppose to get an email today and I haven't. My coordinator is suppose to call me so we can make preop appointments (upper gi and some other stuff). I have to see the surgeon the day before my day. I also need to start a Protein shake diet today. Which I will start Monday Denise
