Normal! That's exactly what I'm going trough. Through this process I was just ready to get it done with. Now that I have an actual date, and start my liquid diet tomorrow, I'm completely paranoid and scared. We got this. We will be okay! [emoji844][emoji92]SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17[emoji92][emoji844]

It's getting real guys! liquid diet wed (2-8-17). Just left costco and got the things I'll need. SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

I had my preop class in November... long story. My liquid diet is 3 weeks long. 4 shakes a day. Surgery on the first. It varies by program. SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

All is well on my end! Start my liquid diet Wednesday, and have my preop appointment on Valentine's Day. Making my costco run tomorrow to prep for it. SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

Yay! Congrats. I'm on the countdown as well! We will soon be on our losing journey! SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

Congrats!! SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

Congrats! My date is the first of march! SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

We are surgery buddies!! SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

The same reason why you have to pay copays at times. My insurance is covering the actual surgery cost but I've had to pay 120 in actual copays. Be thankful that it's only 215 and not the 14,000+ of the actual surgery. SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

I'd be the same way! I have my last appointment with them before my surgery on the 14th and then I'm well on my way! SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

I haven't had my surgery yet, but would love to help if I can. SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

Yay! Congrats! I have 30 days left... THIRTY... 3-0 and I cannot believe it!!! My liquid preop diet starts on the 8th! I started my process on April 5th of last year and I am finally down to the final countdown! We got this! SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17

I didn't have a problem getting approved and at one point in time I gained. It really depends on your insurance.

So your first appointment is in February, it could be expected in July. But it can take 3 weeks + to hear back from insurance (unless you're like me and continue bugging them) However, my insurance required 6 months as well. I started in April or last year (the 8th to be exact) and just got approved 2 weeks ago with a surgery date of March 1st, so that's almost a full year. Some have it right on the money, others have delayed times like myself. Make sure you have every possible appointment you may need within these 6 months so that things can be squared away.

Because we've never been upset and said things out of context before? Anyways, I'm so sorry this happened. I'm glad that they were able to reschedule. Take a breather. It's hard. But.. YOU ARE OKAY!!! Remember that and keep it moving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have my surgery on the same exact day, and am kind've in the same situation. My girls are 2 (twins, born in April 6th) and am in the same predicament. My mom will be able to help me for a couple of days but I'm so nervous for afterwards. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
