Sorry that was appt with surgeon on the 7th Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I just got the news I've been approved for surgery. Preop testing on the 4th, a pot with surgeon on the 7th, then surgery on the 15th. Wow it's happening Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Best of luck to you!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in Bergen county NJ. Surgery on the 15th in Englewood. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

One month preop diet? Yikes! My only preop diet is clear liquids the day before surgery and nothing after midnight. I am going to switch to mostly protein shakes now just because I want to get used to it and I want to lose some weight prior. I will eventually tell my mom but she's got a big mouth and then my sister will know and my aunt then it's my nieces. Ugh. I think I have a cold now and I'm freaking out because i don't need to get sick so close to surgery. Good luck to you and keep us posted Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

How was surgery? How long were you in the hospital? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in NJ with Dr. Strain. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hope all us going well on your preop diet Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm going to start doing protein shakes and small lunches to try to make sure I'm good and get used to the lifestyle change. Emotional eating is a tough one. Once the next phase of my journey begins, I want to go to a therapist. I wasn't happy with the one I went to regarding the surgery. Good luck to you! Let us know how things go Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

They want my pre OP testing done on the 29th. I need another form filled out by my gp. Meet with surgeon again on the 7th. Wait for all approval. Start preop diet of clear liquids the day before surgery. How is your schedule looking? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't gotten my date yet but I'm thinking it's looking like January Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I hope you are doing good Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all. I've been around here for about 8 months reading and posting here and there. I've done everything needed aside from pre op testing. Waiting on sleep study results. From reading my Aetna coverage- if I'm understanding it correctly- I will be covered 100% but be responsible for $150 a night at hospital . I'm so upset that I haven't lost anything during this pre op time. Ok 5 lbs. I keep asking the dr office for a tentative date. Apparently I'll get one once I meet with the surgeon again. I've read so much on here. I would like to think I'm ready but still nervous. I know it's normal. I've had one surgery in my life. Gallbladder removal. I hope it's like that. Painful at incisions but that's it. I've been enjoying everyone's stories and successes and I can't wait to be on the other side. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Why is everyone so far away? Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Wishing you a speedy recovery!! Where are you located? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh No! I don't envy your pre op diet. My Dr only requires 1-2 days. Good luck on your surgery. Keep us updated! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I go see the surgeon again in 12/10. By then I assume my sleep study results will be in and I can get a date. I think st this point I may want to wait until early January as with everyone's vacation schedule it might be hard to get in before Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app
