Bariatric journey Multiple procedures Since 2022 Preparing for surgery
  1. I’m a week out from surgery and yes I’m hungry. I had the lapband for 10 years and never once felt hungry. I am still weak feeling. I’m now eating protein shakes, broths, jello, Greek yogurt and I added a scrambled egg. The egg did help. I did read that when you don’t get enough protein you will be hungry. I can’t eat more than I am.

  3. Yes they finally picked me up. I’m the last surgery today. I will go in around 6:00pm I did find it. I have so any emails. My anxiety gets the best of me some days.

  7. I am July 9th in Mexico. Today I started my clear liquid only diet. It's hard with my grandkids here at my house. All they want is chips, pop and ice cream.

  9. This is not true. I talked to my surgeon and he takes patients that went outside the country. If anything was to happen and was serious I would go to the ED.
  10. My coordinator said, I was getting the mini. She might be wrong.
  11. oh my you look great!!! I’m glad to hear you had a great experience. I’m so excited I wish it was here already lol What surgery did you have? I am getting to mini bypass. No no one invited me to the Facebook group. I will message them now. Thanks for the tip. Did you fly home? I will have a 5 hour flight. Ugh ?
  12. I’m going to Renew also. Dr Green is my surgeon. How was the care after surgery?
  13. All of my follow up care will be with my family Physician. My surgery is 7/9. Doing my pre op diet now.
  14. I’m curious to why your experience there was not the greatest. I’m trying to find a surgeon. I was supposed to have the bypass on May 27th 2022. My husband changed jobs. Now UHC plan they have doesn’t have coverage.
  15. Thank you for the information. Are you going to drive? I was just looking at flights. They are running $740 around trip. Traveling from Cincinnati Ohio. Any tips?
  16. I am look at Dr Alvarez. I have a friend that used him. She say all great thing about staff and Dr Alvarez. How long was their process?
