Hi I'm almost 3 weeks out (surgery date 4/21) and have some concerns. I able to drink-normal and have a hard time telling when I'm full. When I get all my water and protein in one day the next I have no appetite or want to drink the next day. I'm scared i stretched my sleeve had duodenal switch by the way. I'm still on the puréed phase till Friday. I'm worried if I can't get this figured out I will fail after everything and either won't lose the or will regain quickly. In do have an appointment Wednesday but any help will help

Congratulations I'm on the 21st too for DS.

Hang in there it does get better. I'm on day 7 surgery is next Friday and I had headaches and would close my eyes and see food. I was hangry and cranky lol. Now it is so simple Sunday I'll start the all liquid part and hope it is quick. It's funny how a normal week flys by but these two weeks have dragged lol. Good luck I know you can do it.

I'm on the 21st too super excited. I think I talk about it everyday lol.

Congratulations

April 21st DS surgery

I'm on day three on my pre op diet and 12 days from surgery. I tried all flavors of Bariatric Advantage and enjoy the chocolate, orange cream and iced latte. The others I can't seem to get down because of smell or too sweet. Good luck though.

Congratulations I know all to well about a long wait.

The DS how is Rex hospital?

Mine is also the 21st at Rex hospital in NC

Hi I am in day two of the liver reduction diet and am also diabetic. I have had slight headaches but my doctor recommended Bariatric Advantage shakes they have a few good flavors such as the chocolate, orange cream, and iced latte. They are not as sweet or even sweet at all compared to the premier protein. I am also allowed 2 snacks by the same company. I find that eating warm chicken broth or the sugarfree jello helps. Good luck and keep on hanging in there it's all worth it !!

I FINALLY have a surgery date of April 21st. After starting in 2015 and getting to the point of sending my information off to insurance and finding the Dr. no longer accepted my insurance from having to start all over just about I am finally having the DS surgery. My surgeon is Dr. Tyner at Rex hospital in Raleigh!!!!! So excited about starting my new life it has been a long time coming. If anyone else has had surgery at Rex hospital how was the experience?

I was going through Duke loved them but they are now out of my coverage Also I'm 2 hours from Durham

Well after completing EVERYTHING needed to be scheduled for surgery my insurance is now out of network for me. So I will not let this get me down but I'm even more determined to find someone that performs the DS in NC. Please help!!!!!
