Do you live far from the Hospital. I'm only 30 mins ago so its not too bad!!
I live about 6 or so hours from my hospital, so I get to spend that night in a motel that's across the street from the surgery center. I'll spend one night in the hospital, and one more in the motel before heading home.

Wow! This is a growing group. Welcome Abbey, IndioGirl, lwesson and Dancing to the Lucky's. This is a great group.

Lynette, I am sorry to hear you are sick. I hope you feel better soon. That Z-pak works great. And I agree on the generic Mucinex. It is much cheaper and works great....{{hug}}

Marcy, I got tickled thinking of you trying to explain things to a 7 year old. I thought of the vibrator the first time I saw the name..:biggrin1:

Jackie, you are playing the waiting game with me. All of my papers have been submitted and the insurance is "reviewing it". good luck

Phyl, :clap2: congrats on the date!

cazulay, you are definitely moving fast through the process. Just goes to show how much insurance dictates healthcare...but I won't get on my soapbox now:confused:

Chimboree, glad everything went well. those arterial blood gases hurt like devil

Laurend, hang in there on the pre-op diet. it's only 2 weeks...of course, I can say that since my doc doesn't require one:) Don't ya just hate me:biggrin1:

I went to the pulmonologist yesterday and my pulmonary function test was good. However, I do have a sinus infection, which I suspected, and he put me on Amoxicillin 875 mg 2 x day for 20 days. Did you get that? 20 days. They are horse pills and I cannot have the surgery until I finish the 20 days...bummer. The earliest I would be able to have it will be July 10. I was hoping for the week of the 4th. Oh well.....still waiting for insurance approval.

did you notice I am a little upset about the 20 days of the HORSE PILL.

Rub it in, why don't you? (lol, just kidding)

That sucks. I have trouble swallowing anything more than 500 mg, and I have trouble with that, too, if it is round. I had a horrid headache (the type where you just want to curl up and cry) the night before last and tried to take an Advil liquigel. Somehow, it hit my throat wrong and I gagged while I was swallowing it. I managed to get it down, but it made me nauseous and I had to throw up about 3 minutes later. I don't do well at swallowing pills, especially if I am using Water. I HAVE to have something to drink with them to hide the taste or texture of the pill, and water just doesn't do it.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
