Dr just called surgery is now scheduled for April 9th

Good luck, I am crossing fingers for April but I am waiting for insurance approval😩

Thank you so much!! They said with my insurance I should know in about a week:) The Office knows that I am looking for surgery the week before our “spring break” so I have less time to take off from work. So about April 10th or so is what I am praying for!!

So I am trying all the liquid shakes and I just can't seem to drink them... omg! My doctor has you drink Bariatric Advantage and to me it is just like slime. I don't know what to do or try to make this any better, does anyone have suggestions with this? Need help this 2 weeks will be horrid!

I did add ice to my last one and was able to drink it. I am gong to ask them if it is mandatory that I use their brand... I know on the paperwork it says I will have to pay the money to them for the products but all are powder and I also think that the premade ones are much better. I know that when this 2 weeks starts I will be saying I'm sorry a lot lol:)

Well, I got the call today and I AM IN THE APRIL GROUP!!! Yay!! April 9th is on the books😁🥳

I had trouble with the shakes too and drinking them ice cold helped. I can also tell you that even though the two week liquid diet seems brutal (I was there just like you), the rewards on the other side are so worth it. Try to look ahead to one month from now when you will be losing and feeling so much better! Good luck to you!

Hi everyone - sorry, didn't mean to leave you all in suspense!
I got home last night and didn't have a good night and day with the pain. And my surgeon refused to give me any pain meds until my husband rang and gave him hard time. Then he gave me a 1 day script for Tramadol.
So, my husband. He surprised me. I sent him the text shortly after the surgery letting him know where I was and that I had left more info for him in the kitchen. He said that he understood why I had't told him, and that he didn't blame me. He was very supportive - but said that he probably wouldn't have been if he'd known beforehand.
He brought the girls to visit as soon as he got off work on Tuesday, and they stayed for 3 hours. He asked lots of questions and was reading some of the packet I left him.
He was there to pick me up right on time on Wednesday and said that he'd been up late reading up on it and wanted to know if I had a menu or anything he could look at so he could help. He brought Dunkin Donuts coffee and munchkins for the nurses like I asked, because they were so wonderful to me.
He called the out of hours doctor and got him to make my surgeon call back as I mentioned. He was really pissed they didn't give me better meds - I really was in a lot of pain. He has been supportive at the end, and that's good enough. He says that I definitely have made the right decision, and that I was very brave.

Birthday Suit and shining sense of optimism
Congrats 🎉👏👏👏👏🎉

I have not tried anything else but will try what you said and look at other things tomorrow. My office charges 350 for whatever it is I'm still not sure exactly what all it is besides the shakes and Vitamins and calcium chews. I will def. have to ask if I can buy something elsewhere if adding fruit and or milk don't help it go down. Thanks for the help:)

Anyone else trying the shakes and having problems drinking them? My dr gave me samples and omg I have not been able to drink any of the flavors:( It is just like slime, I have tried 8oz, 10oz and 12oz and it is just ewww! Anyone have any tips or ideas? Need help:(

Awesome we have the same day!

Well, I got the call today and I AM IN THE APRIL GROUP!!! Yay!! April 9th is on the books😁🥳

It went well everyone. Freaking out over nothing. I was thinking about the number 12, not taking into consideration I slept 6 hours of that, then got up and went to work to further keep myself occupied. I'm now entering day1 post-op. Thanks everyone for your encouraging words!
