    I also go to Synergy and my surgery is on December 4th. How are you feeling? I have Dr. Carauna
  2. Hi Laurie
    I was called on 9/25 to schedule the surgery and my surgery date was 10/16! It all happens fast once you get approval from your insurance company. If I were you, I would start a semi liquid diet now so that you don't get plagued with the headaches during the liver reduction diet two weeks prior to the surgery. The first day I started the liver reduction diet I cried all day. I had such a horrible headache, detoxing all the yucky stuff out of your body. But after the first three days, it's smooth sailing.

    Well I saw Dr. Caruana for my initial visit and I think he said Dr. Cavaretta would be assisting. I know a couple people that have had the bypass surgary and they both went to Sisters. They were also impressed with the hospital and the care. I will be meeting with AnnMarie Nov 5th and will follow up with her on Nov 16th. I did the psych evaluation on Oct. 17th. I just hope I will be able to schedule my surgery in December. Do you remember about how long it took you to get your surgery date. I'm sure I will have a ton of questions for you as the surgery gets closer.

    Thanks DaniCici

About DaniCici
Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I have been over weight my whole adult llife. Diets never worked, diet pills made me sick, and I was so depressed with how I looked, I rarely went out to bars with my friends. When I would go, I made sure that blended into the woodwork. Attention was not what I wanted. A year ago, I started to do research on weight loss surgery. With the help of a co worker who had the surgery a year ago, I started my journey. I want to live a long healthy life. I made this choice for myself and ony myself. My family is so supportive of my choice. I wish I had made the decision sooner. But better late then never.

I just ate a bunch of chocolate chip cookies because I am stressing over some thing I can't control.

I knew this wouldn't be a miracle cure....I have to find a way to channel my anxiety into something positive.....any suggestions out there?

Two more days till my one year anniversary

by DaniCici on 10-14-2013 at 08:40 AM
So a year ago on October 16th, I was laying in hospital bed waiting to be the first person to go into the OR for the gastric sleeve. I was nervous, in tears, and about to have a full on panic attack.
My surgeon came over to me and rubbed my foot and told me everything was going to be ok. To just take a deep breath and relax.
I relaxed and started my journey.....now.. a year later.... I am officially down 100lbs. I am so excited. I can't begin to tell you all how happy I am that I

Some things I have learned traveling down this road they called the "sleeved side"

by DaniCici on 08-12-2013 at 10:00 AM
We all know that protien is the key. It's been told to us over and over again by our surgeons, nutritionists and others who have gone through this surgery. But you don't know how important it is until you go through with the surgery. Even though it was told to me...I thought for sure I could have my protien, veg and starch at mealtime.

But......boy was I wrong! My tummy is smaller now....can't fit all that stuff in there. Even though what I eat is considerably less then what I ate

Officially down 90 lbs today. 90 lbs in 10 months. I couldn't be happier. It's been a long road and sometimes I really wondered if I did the right thing. But looking at that scale this morning I realized that if I could go back and do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I am happy, healthy, and looking great!

For all of you out there who are struggling with the idea of going through the surgery, do it. Jump feet first. There will be struggles but the rewards outweigh (non
