I'm planning on returning to work on day 6. I hope I can handle it. I pray you are feeling better soon!

I got my date❗️❗️❗️ My surgery is April 23!!!! ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? I'm so excited and nervous

Hey everyone! As a requirement for surgery I have to make a 3 day menu. My problem is that I don't like most of the items on the list. I don't like yogurt or cottage cheese. I have never eaten refried Beans. I have to have between 75-100g of Protein everyday. I want to be prepared so that I will not have problems after the surgery. What are some of the things that you guys ate during this phase of your journey. I don't have a surgery date yet, my final pre-op visit is Monday, April 14 and I am hoping to be scheduled before the end of the month (is that realistic?). I am so glad I found this site. My husband thinks I am crazy because for the past week, I have been reading all these post.

That is AWESOME... cant wait to get my date! Good Luck

Praying that all goes well and you are able to have your surgery tomorrow.

That is wonderful Wickedbeauty, I am so glad that you have your approval. I am waiting on my date as well. I have had my approval from the insurance for a while, was waiting on my stress test results (which got lost...). My appointment for pre-op is April 14 and I hope to get my surgery date then. I can not wait to make this change in my life.

That is AWESOME, I am not diabetic, but my husband is and I know the struggle he has.

I am in Memphis and I am looking for buddies to help me and me to help them. We all need support during this exciting time in our lives.

That's good to know, I hope it's that way for me too! I have my insurance approval, so I'm hoping that I'll get my date when I go for pre- op. I'm very nervous but excited at the same time????

Thank you for your reply. I'm glad you told me about how long it would take so I can adjust my schedule at work. Will I be given my surgery date at this visit? If so how far out is it given, I have vacation planned in July and just want to be sure I will have enough time to heal before going.

Just joined this site and doing some research. I saw where Dr. Weaver did your surgery. Congrats on your weight loss! I am waiting on final approval from BCBS IL for approval. Dr. Weaver will be performing my sleeve. What procedure did you have? I have done all the preliminary requirements. Everything was submitted on 3/28. Anxiously waiting for it to be finalized. Dr. Weaver is my surgeon too! I'm nervous and excited. My pre-op appointment is 4/14 and I was wondering what to expect.
