Hi! Got my date yesterday - 1/28/2020. Having RNY - Overland Park, KS (Bariatric and Metabolic Specialists; surgeon is Dr. Roger de la Torre). Surgeon said it's the best option for a newly-diagnosed Type 2 diabetic. Nervous, excited, everything all rolled up together for the life change! Pre-OP requirement -1 week liquid diet. I may have more pre-OP requirements when I see the nurse-practitioner Jan 16th.

Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am having VSG with Dr de la Torre on Jan 16. I just started my 1 week liquid diet. I found this at Walmart and they are delicious, but won't be able to have them after surgery for a while because they contain caffeine.

Good evening! I’m finally feeling up to checking my phone and thought I’d let y’all know I made it through surgery wonderfully. It’s not so bad. I’m about to lay down again, I will give you all the details tomorrow and answer questions!

So happy to hear it went well! Please keep us posted on how you are feeling.

I'm just about ready, wanted to share with my graduating class as well. (Broths, plates, utensils and other items not pictured) maybe later when I get closer.

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pictures of all the items you've purchased to get prepared. I'm not nearly that well-prepared yet and seeing your pictures is helpful.

Just curious, is anyone who is scheduled for next week still awaiting insurance approval? Or anyone who just had the surgery not get approval until the few days prior?

I am scheduled for Wed. 1/15 and I still do not have approval. I'm being told this is very common in January as the insurance companies are bombarded with requests due to people changing coverage.

It's really stressing me out at this point...I am not a fly-by-the-seat of my pants person. Tell me I'm not the only one?

January 27th. I've purchased a few items, including Vitamins, but I'm not ready yet. When is your surgery?

We are bookends, your surgery is on Monday/27th and my surgery is on Friday/31st. costco has Premier Protein on sale (2 cases max) for 19.00 each until 01/26 I believe. Wal-Mart grocery store is good for our Jello and sugar free Popsicles, Trader Joe's has plenty of broth varieties. I've been shopping as I go, building my supplies and getting ready for the transition to bariatric surgery. I also live alone and don't want to be without my needs during recovery time. My focus is going to be on rest, hydration and walking in the proper time intervals.

Has anyone started taking Biotin before their surgery to help lessen Hair loss? I read somewhere to start taking it a few weeks before surgery.

I read that as well. I have been taking it for a couple of months now. I haven't noticed any changes positive or negative. Doctor said to stop all supplements 1 week before surgery, so I will pick it back up after surgery when my stomach has recovered a bit.

We are the same week, that liquid life is real.really here. Let's keep each other inspired, I have my final pre-op appointment with the surgeon on the 17th. Surgery on the 31st and last night I got a call to schedule my 1 month post-op appointment for March 2nd. The only detail I'm not privied to is the time of surgery.

As I was typing that, I got an email that my surgery was scheduled for 7:30am on 1/27. Cool.

I'm too darn emotional as of this week, because its a lot closer than I thought. I'm going to pack my bag after I come from the appointment next Friday, I already have too much going on. I'm cleaning up my domain this weekend and getting ready for recovery. I guess these emotions are releasing with the fat, I have no clue....PMS magnified times a million.

I'm happy for you, if I weren't sitting in the dentist's chair I'd start crying for you, lol. Crazy

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
