It gets way better. I am so happy that I did it. Yes Protein will help. Don't stress if you don't get all your liquids in right now. It gets better. Make sure to take your Vitamins in the morning or you have more of a chance to be up all night. Not real sure why but it happens...

Oh... Go buy a hair catcher for the shower. You will start to shed more hair

Hi everyone. I live in Mcalester. I met with Dr. Kirk at Bailey back in the fall. Then before Christmas, my insurance turned me down.

But, my mind was made up by that point that I wanted the surgery. Since I'm now self-pay, I've decided to go to Mexico. I'll be having my surgery in three weeks with Dr. Garcia.

Anybody else fail the sleep study?? : (

All I have left to do is the chest X-ray and pft. There has been some confusion over who is supposed to order those done between Dr. Kirk & Dr. Lewis' offices though. Really hoping my apnea isn't too bad so I can still have surgery in the next few weeks!

Most of us would fail a sleep study. Dr Kirks office ordered my pft. I had my chest xray done at my office

I had my chest xray and pft and ekg all done the same day over at the hospital. I think everyone flunks the sleep study. What I understood was that they set the limits so low on the study that everyone has sleep apnea for insurance approval. I didn't pass it either. You will get your machine, use it for 2 weeks, then you will take the card out the back of the machine in for them to get a print out of it. Just make sure you use it at least 4 hours a night for the 2 weeks. That's all they require before your surgery. You'll be fine. When are you wanting to have your surgery, Mollie?

I love my machine. I've had it for about a year and it has helped me sleep better that I was before. And since I have lost some weight I don't need it turned up so high

I ended up with Dr.Varnell and he did my egd last Tuesday. Dr.kirks office said that they wanted Dr. Lewis' office to take over the pft and chest X-ray orders and when I called both his offices they say no, he just does the sleep study orders. So I'm kinda waiting for that confusion to get worked out before i call them again for my app. I really wanted to have surgery the 13th or 20th, ,but I guess Dr.Lewis went out of the country for 2wks so he's not getting thru the results as fast. : / Just my luck. I have my surgeon pre-op app tomorrow so I hope dr. Lewis can lmk so I can go ahead with my date!

Everything is going good. Can't do the Protein Shakes. They are so nasty and make me feel so sick. I think I will just have to get my Protein from food. Other than that I am doing great. Thanks for asking and good luck to you. Please keep me posted on your progress!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
