I just sent you friend request for group

Best of luck!!!! Hugs your way!!!????

My doctor said 4 weeks if possible...

Did you start a group?? My surgery is Feb 26th!!

Yes ma'am! I'll have another appointment this month, hopefully next week and will be told when to start my 2 week pre-op diet!! Thank you!! That's exciting!!! So you will probably have surged in March!!

My surgeon said it depend on your BMI. If it's really high then you have to do the diet. I don't have to do one either and no bowel prep!!

@"sassyfrass23" I am so excited for you!!! So what's your next step?? Just to schedule the surgery??

February 26!! For me!!????????????

You can crush Vicodin. I'm a nurse and we crush them

How did you find all the recipes?

It took me about 4 days to get over the headaches... But no caffeine for me!!

How exciting!!! Mine is 26th!!!

I just took out a loan... It was devastating when they told me my insurance excluded all Bariatric surgery. I could do nothing... I cried for days. But I had to figure out a way... Only way I could do it. Mine doesn't do robotic surgery. Just him and his partner.

I got you beat! I'll be 43 on March 8th and waiting for my surgery date in March! I'm going through Doc Krause at RO Beaumont. Want a support buddy? What a great birthday gift to yourself Kelly! i got you both beat I'm 51!!!

You do you!!! Try not to listen to everyone's opinion. They have never lived in your body!! They mean well... But... You know what's best for you!! Take care!!!????????

$70,000 - &80,000? Who in the world is charging $70,000 - $80,000?My friend had the VSG by the same surgeon at the same hospital and her hospital bill alone came out to $50k. Not including the surgeon or anesthesiologist fees. And she only stayed over night 1 night. With RNY- I'll have to stay a minimum of 2 nights. So I was kind of guessing in that figure which may have been a little more but not too much more I wouldn't imagine? With that being said- I've wondered how some of these folks I've seen on here get/got VSG for around $11k. Maybe it's based off of location? The hospital I'll be going to was ranked #2 in the state behind Mayo. Maybe that has something to do with it? Right??? One would think....Mine will cost about $35,000. Including hospital, surgeon, anesthesia and 2 nights. They give a discount for cash.Mine is at Methodist Hospital in Medical Center Houston.

My preop is feb 16th. But the dietician told me I probably wouldn't have to do liquid diet... Not sure. Is it totally liquid? That's crazy!!! Yikes!!????

I wasn't told anything about 2week liver diet... Hmmm

@@Pinkgirl1234 what is RNY? Is it the same as a bypass?
