    I had gastric bypass about 12-14 hours ago. In alot of pain. Does anyone know how long the recovery time is? My dr says 4 weeks, but I've heard other people say 2.

    Thank you all. I caved and ate like three bites of Hamburger Helper. I feel so guilty and ashamed of myself. I'm determined to make it to surgery day without another incident!!! Thank you for all the advice! And I'll definitely keep in mind that this is the worst part.

    I'm on day 3 of my 2 week preop diet. The slightest smell of food is making me want to back out of surgery. I'm on 3-4 protein shakes and 3ozs of lean meat and a serving of veggies per day. I'm scheduled for gastric bypass on December 19th. I really need this surgery, but I'M STARVING! Any suggestions on how I can curb or ignore the hunger pains?

    I'm getting more nervous as I near the end of the preop requirements. I'm done with everything my insurance requires to get a surgery date. I have my final consultation appointment on October 1st. I'll get a surgery date after that. My nerves are getting to me as this becomes "real."

    Thank you for your support! Like I said before I was cleared for surgery a year ago but then my sister needed a liver transplant so I cancelled it. My family didn't need to be caring for me when we were losing her. Shes doing great tho thankfully. So I decided it was my turn.

    Does anyone have a sample of some of the questions that need to be answered during a psych eval? My therapist wants to make sure she helps me get approved. She just doesn't want to miss anything and mess up my chances. My surgeon is out of town for two weeks or I'd ask him. Just a few examples of questions that need to be answered. Thanks in advance!!!

    Thank you. I was hoping to have a phone interview because I live 2 hours from the hospital, but no such luck. Hope everything works out for you.

    I went through a few visits with them and hated the way I was treated. I'm currently going through UAB in Birmingham AL. I LOVE it there. I'd recommend them to anyone. Let me know if you have more questions. Also they do take out of state insurance.

    Hmmm, first off I’m not here for your jealousy! Nor did I ask you for your input. It’s not my fault you have ridiculous requirements. Some of us have jobs and can’t wait 6 months. Maybe the summer is the only time I have off?! But of course, I should take more time off anyway, right?! Please take your misery elsewhere. I’m sorry you’ve waited since 1955 to get surgery and still have to wait. I’m a very punctual person so nope no problems with my psych evaluation. It’s was indeed the coordinator who is very new and now admitted had no idea what she was doing. Park your smart comments elsewhere, they are not wanted or needed. All my requirements were completed a month ago but yet paperwork just got submitted yesterday?! Now what do you have to say? Okay, thank you. Have a good day and good luck on your journey!
