My doctor normally gives 2 weeks, I extended mine a little, I'm going to be off Aug 1st - 20th -
Is Anyone Else Scheduled For August?
justathing2me replied to justathing2me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow I go pick up my Optifast from the nutritionist and next Wednesday I start my pre op diet. When I started this journey 6 months ago it seemed like a lifetime away! Our month is fastly approaching! -
Day 1 Of My Journey
justathing2me replied to Kelly_New_Me's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck! I am scheduled shortly after you, August 1st! -
I start my pre op next Wednesday and at my last appointment with my surgeon I noticed that when he explained the pre op diet to me he used the words "Do your best". I totally picked up on these key words! Good luck!

How do you know how much Biotin to take? I've noticed it in 1000, 5000 and 7500mcg?

Is Anyone Else Scheduled For August?
justathing2me replied to justathing2me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I notified my employer last month as we are required to give 30 days notice for a foreseeable absence but I knew my surgery date. My absence is covered by sick time and I had to fill out FMLA paperwork. I am going to be out Aug 1st - 20th. Maybe you could give them a heads up so it doesn't seem so last minute. They will at least have it on their radar until you give them a confirmed date. -

Is Anyone Else Scheduled For August?

Definitely a lot of work! Six months in the making.... -
It's hard for me at times too, especially since I have such a large family (Husband + 4 kids). They're eating things all the time that I would love to have but I have developed some will power to "just say no". Think about how great you will look and feel in the end, that's true motivation!

I'm doing two weeks Optifast and start July 18th. My birthday is August 17th and my Dr. usuallly puts his patients out of work for two weeks so I'm going to extend my time off a little, I will be off August 1st - 20th. -
Something I Didnt Think About...
justathing2me replied to cbarreto's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just went to my last appointment today! It goes by really fast! It's also good because at the end of the 6 months you'll have done so much research that you will know if the band is right for you -
Something I Didnt Think About...
justathing2me replied to cbarreto's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Total opposite here, I went to a bday party this weekend and I was looking at the pictures just now and thought geez! I can't wait until my surgery so that I don't have to look at pictures like this again! -

Anyone Getting Banded In August
justathing2me replied to DeAna N's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
August 1st! I just went to my last appointment this morning! I signed my consent froms and my surgeon gave me my prescriptions to fill before my surgery, Roxicet liquid for pain and Zofran for nausea. The only thing left is my history & physical with my pcp on July 17th. Yay!
