I understand going home with a drainage tube for a week isnt unusual, however I have a co worker who had an infection to develop due to it. Has anyone else heard of this

Sept Surgery Date?
rabrijumo replied to Uniqueladybug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am embarrassed to say my wt but I have posted it all over so my start or highest wt is 448 I am 5 ft 71/2 inches tall which makes my bmi 70. I was a little less when I started this process but started a goodbye to food binge that had me gain to my highest wt. I have since started a data entry of all I eat on myfitnesspal that helped me lose 8 lbs. I then did 3 days of optifast and now I am doing low carb meat - protein veggies fruit and no " white" refined sugar, potato , and pasta. I am required to do two weeks of optifast pre op. -
Sept Surgery Date?
rabrijumo replied to Uniqueladybug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have my surgery scheduled for September. September 25, 2012. I started my journey April with a seminar. First dr appt with Bluepoint medical group dr Moazzaz april12. Started my three months of classes 4/24 because traffic was so bad I missed my 1st appt the 20th. I had some complications with my appointment schedule because the regular scheduler was out on maternity leave. I was very upset with the office staff but they made it up to me on my final weigh in. I got my " second" md/np appt that very day and they gave me a surgery date of sept 25. That was July 24 2 days before my 51st bday. I actually do not have official insurance approval but they are confident they will get it this week. My doctor wants me to lose 45 lbs before my surgery day so I started seriously getting a handle on my eating by data entering everything I eat in myfitnesspal. Then I did a few days of optifast last week to jump start my low carb diet. Now I am low carb only no sweets. I have lost 8 lbs but I do not have a scale that can weigh me so I don't know if I have lost anymore. Will drop by my drs office and use their scale Monday. So let's start a september surgery group. Anyone else interested? -

Blood Work & Fatty Liver
deb_fox replied to mufasas-mom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Surgeon orders a routine sonogram as part of the lab work prior to surgery. They told me that a Sonogram would detect a fatty liver. It was explained to me that the liver is a very fragile organ that bleeds easily. It is lifted and manipulated during the procedure and they need to know if it is fatty. Regardless, the liquid diet is to shrink the liver and make it as firm as possible for surgery for the safest procedure possible. This is why all of my Surgeon's patients remain on a 2 week liquid diet before surgery. -

Weight loss surgery seminar
Photo925 replied to JessPearl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to one last week. I imagine that they are all a little different, but mine went like this. They start out by going through the process and the things that you would need to do and the appointments that you would need to make and complete. The surgeon spoke the whole time, he did a slide show and went through the history of weight loss surgery and how it has evolved over time. Then he covered the two different surgeries that their office offers and the benefits and downfalls of both. They gave time to ask questions at the end, but it wasn't a requirement to have to speak at all -

8 Month Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery Update
mednar replied to Lmom1980's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
FTP is right. Moving in that direction is all that matters. I get so pissed some days when I know I've made the right choices and I see no results. For days. Or even weeks. I try to keep in mind that my doctor's nutritionist says that 4 lbs per month is what to expect in general. You're losing almost double that on average. I struggle with that number. Seems like it should be more. Don't beat yourself up for what you consider Halloween mistakes. Keep at it. -

Losing Too Much Weight During Pre-Op Diet?
takingmeback posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr put me on the 2 week pre-op mostly liquid diet, and asked that I try to lose 10 lbs before surgery. Well after 3 days I've lost about 7.5 lbs. I'm fairly close to the 40 BMI cutoff (I only had 15 lbs before going under 40) and am afraid that if I go under the 40 BMI that insurance won't cover the procedure. Has anyone run into this? I have BCBS of MA if that matters.
