Hi all December sleeves!!! I just got approved yesterday and my surgery is December 20. I got the official letter from my insurance company today. If I didn't take that date I would have to wait until mid to late January. I am looking at it like my Christmans present to myself!!! My pre-op visit is next Friday. My Dr. says I will be in the hospital for 2 nights. I feel bad leaving my family, but they will manage. I will just have to have everything ready for the kids for Christmas!! Santa still must bring gifts!!!! Anyone else from South Jersey? What protein drinks have you tried? Glad to have found this website. It is very informative and encouraging.

I have been preparing with the help of the Nut. I am a big Diet Pepsi drinker so I have been working on that addiction. I have also been not eating and drinking at the same time. That is a hard habit to break after all these years. Also using a smaller plate and utensils. Now that I am approved, I will really work of the carbonated drinks before my last pre-op visit with my surgeon on November 23rd. I will begin the all liquid "Baraitric Advantage" diet thru my dr two weeks before surgery. They told me today that I will be in the hospital for two nights. I wish that it wasn't so close to Xmas, but if I didn't take that date I would have to wait until late January. My husband said do it now This Xmas will be about a new healthier ME!!! I will have to be really organized with having all my gifts for the kids ready so I will start working on that soon. I am getting very excited now that I have the approval. I am so happy that it only took two days to get because I was getting anxious. What are you doing to get ready?

Hi. I was just approved today for surgery on December 20th. I am new to the forum. I have been reading posts but I have not commented until today. I wanted to wait until I was approved.
