Hi Mindi, congratulations, great news to hear you've been approved.

I've just had my surgery, well it was four weeks ago. Bumps? Well not compared to some, but it's not been as easy as I thought it would be! However I've lost a couple of stone already so that's really good :-)

I know that many people here had pre-op diets, but my doc didn't use them. We just couldn't gain over 10 lbs in the 6 months leading up to the surgery and had to attend 1 class a month where we were weighed in and turn in a daily food log that was sent off to the insurance company. You should post a question on the main page and everyone will jump on in and help. As for post-op....the phases very from doc to doc. Mine doesn't want us to eat bread, rice or pasta until we're 9 months out....but many can after 3 months. So, the best thing is to use your docs plan and your best judgement. You will be on liquids only for at least 10 days and then move on to puree and then to soft solids and then to firm solids. Let me know when the insurance company gives you the go ahead! We're all here for you! :)

Ugh!

ok so i had a little trip up. My nurse called me Friday to let me know that the doctor couldn't completely set the date yet because of my "" the only thing was I didn't know I had this. As far as I knew my sleep study came back normal. I did that back in June. So i guess it turns out I have mild obstructive sleep apnea. And it is so mild that my insurance won't cover it, But i have to have something done about it before I can have the surgery. So they ended up putting my on just oxygen at night.… Continue
