I live 2 and a half hours away. I did call and there is only the receptionist in today. I told her I was worried and that I gave my info to the other lady for my payment and she said I will make a good note in your account saying you called and who you talked to. Your good to go. I will ask the pre op nurse if there are any special instructions when she calls with my time. I have been on a liquid diet since the 19th and I was told just nothing after midnight before.. But I don't know about my medications that I usually take or if I need to make sure everything is cleaned out...

I am 5'11" um I checked what normal bmi is but really I just want to be in onderland. I will stop when I feel ready. My Dr said 60-80lbs I said your crazy at least 110... Lol

Me too!!! I'm like what if I do something I'm not supposed to or not do something that I needed too... I don't think the clinic is open but I am going to call at 8 anyways to find out!!!

She was supposed to on the 18th and forgot. Forgot to have me sign consent forms or give me the instructions that she was supposed to. This isn't the first time she has "forgot" or messed up

Seriously, no clue... My surgery is 7/29 and I never got my pre op instructions.. Like am I suppose to be on just Clear liquids, when to stop eating, do I need a cleanse... The lady never gave me my paper work. I called yesterday asked her to fax it... Nope nothing.. And the best part they aren't freaking open tomorrow! I also had to make a payment and I gave her my credit card info and it wasn't entered. They said I can't have the surgery if its not paid... I don't k ow what to do... I have a preop nurse calling tomorrow with time of surgery and when to be there.. Hopefully she can give me some darn answers. I'm freaking out over here!!!

Mine is on Monday the 29th. I hope this weekend flies by!!! 29 yr old Starting weight 307 Current weight 298 Goal weight 176

July 29th can't come soon enough!!!!!

I'm just worried that I will waste my money and I don't have a whole lot to spare....

Do all protein powders that you have to mix yourself have a chalky taste?? I need one that tastes like my rtd premier protein because my but says they aren't enough calories.... Help!!!!!!

Yes I feel your pain.. I am on my pre op diet, but its all liquid.. it sucks but today is day 5 and I feel so much better, I also just got approved, my surgery is the 29th. Hope your surgery goes well and that you recover quickly!!! Best of luck!

That sucks but I hope it all works out in your favor!! Keep your head up and just keep thinking positive thoughts!! Good Luck!

I love your user name... Just keep swimming... Seems so fitting right!! I am so sorry for your loss. I find it the most horrible around birthdays, anniversaries... But this year my son zander will be 6 and Jonny would be 5 they would have played tball together for the first time. They would have been in kindergarten together... I think of all the time he is missing and it tears me apart.. But I know in my heart he is right there with his brother enjoying all those things.. I miss him with every breath I take... Thank you for taking the time to comment.

I am so sorry for your loss and the loss everyone else has shared. Your right it doesn't go away its always there and always will be. Thank you so much for the response!!

I called my insurance company and chatted live with them every couple of days. So call them.. The least they can do is tell you they can't say. But most will tell you!!

I have never heard of that! I will check into it! Thank you.

I really never thought it would happen. Nothing ever goes my way.. But maybe that's all changing!!!

After being denied because of paperwork the first time and putting in my appeal... I got approved. Surgery date is July 29th Started liquid diet the 19th and have lost almost 8lbs... Can't wait to start my new life but now comes the nervousness and I am scared but so excited!!!

I bought like 12 boxes of shakes, smoothies, chicken soup, caramel pudding, and a mixed berry fruit drink. I will sell them cheap. I don't care for them so hopefully someone will!!!

I just spoke with my Dr's nurse and she said cut it down by half and see what happens if it needs adjusted more just call back. Hopefully that won't keep happening...

Thank you. I really don't like confrontation and noticed that people started being rude. My dad and step mom are very christian and they pray with me and for me. I believe everyone is here to help and it is easy for me to read the kind words and love and support even if people say or speak through god. Each of you have been amazing. Just please stop attacking each other over things that only I should be sifting through. I appreciate every comment and all the support. Thank you all again. Yes this is a hard story to tell but it is part of me. Part of who I am now. To not share to not talk about it openly only means I am keeping it all inside. Thank you for giving me a place to speak of my Jonny and the road I am traveling. I know that Jonny is watching over me everyday and that I need this surgery to be with my 2 older boys longer.

My blood sugar has been dropping below 65 the past 2 mornings on my preop liquid diet. I think I need to reduce my long lasting insulin but I don't know how much!!! So at 3 in the morning I am trying to raise it back up to stop shaking and feeling puky and so sick that I cheat. I drink milk but I grabbed a Protein bar because its the healthiest option with a little sugar and then I felt fine.. But the whole this is I am on my preop and not supposed to have anything but liquids. Now I feel terrible but my brain doesn't function when my bs is so low Guess I will call my PCP to see what he suggests.. Not feeling so great after a drop like that....

I am July 29th !!!! Can't believe in a weeks time I will be sleeved!!!

Yummy!!! I found a ton I wanna try!!!

You look fabulous and so happy!! I can't wait to be on the losing side!! You are inspirational!!!

Thank you. I have never been a huge believer in God persay. Yes I believe there is a God but do not believe in organized religion necessarily... But I believe my son is in heaven. And it helps. His birthday was 10 days ago and we all dealt with it the best way we could. I am doing better and have been doing fairly well considering. I keep busy and search this site for anything. But again thank you for all of your support.
