Thanks!

I tip my hat to you all!!!!! I was required just 2 days of Clear liquids and it was the HARDEST thing I had to do. I’m on day 2 and it’s a little better. Surgery is tomorrow morning.

Sending prayers.

Wow your recovery sounds great! I hope I am as lucky as you with no pain.

April 16th start 2 day pre op diet on Monday

Well said!

Congrats!

Hey Kee, you know you got my prayers. We both have been jumping through hoops after hoops since we both had the same nut. How did the appt go or pm me.

Hi jerseyjazzell, I'm on the 16th as well. I'm focusing on the good stress! : )

I'm scheduled for April 16th also & I am a Kaiser patient too : )

The nutritionist. pending on your insurance requirement. My insurance required one visit every month for 6 months.

I've heard the gasx will not work because it is a different type of gas?? Any truth in this?

This is what my surgeon's office has on their pre op testing sheet: Chest X-ray - must be within 6 months of surgery EKG - must be within 30 days of surgery- I have to do again Lab work- within 30 days of surgery

It's just a guide the surgeons uses to butt the stapler up against. It is not the size of your new stomach. Www.obesityhelp.com

Hi All, I am 41 yrs. old and have been overweight since 2000. I have tried all kinds of diets and diets pills. I did lose 37lbs using Phentermine but the side effects were terrible headaches. I started this journey 8/1/13. My insurance required me to do 6 months of nut visits and classes. My last nut visit was 1/15/14 I was approved on 1/29/2014. First surgeon consult was on 2/24/14 and final consult was 3/27/14. I am scheduled for pre op testing on April 2nd, pre op class April 8th & surgery April 16th. I was shocked when they offered April 9th. I thought that was too soon since I have to get my house in order & get other items. My pre op diet is 2 days of Clear liquids. My support is my twin sister, partner, & this forum. I have told three co-workers, two are very supportive and the other I’m not so sure about.. her comment was “personally I think its an easy way out, but no offense to you.” Okayyyy I paid no attention to her comment. I have researched numerous topics on here, the internet, and read a few books about weight loss surgery. My FMLA forms are being completed as I type this. I will be taking 4-6 weeks off for recovery. I’ve read that 2 weeks is good but I have the time to take so I’m going to used it. Hoping & praying for an smooth recovery for us all. Looking forward to a healthier me. : )

I have the UP band by Jawbone. Works great.

got my date today! I am scheduled for April 16th. 2 day pre op diet.

Just got my date today! I am scheduled for April 16th. 2 day pre op diet. oops wrong forum. sorry

I'm not sleeved yet but at my first surgeon consult he mentioned he only requires 2 day liquid diet.

Thanks Abordenster!

Thought I was finish jumping through hoops. Got all requirements completed & now my surgeon wants me to do another psych eval before surgery. Has this happen to anyone?

Thanks Kee! Consult was rescheduled due to all that snow we got last week. New appt is this Monday 24th.

Thank you! Congrats to you as well! Wow in 3.5 months!

Yes!!! Just could not believe they did not have a back up plan in place. Found out she had twins. Think she got her hands full now. Lol!!!
