I would love to join your group. I get banded on "Fat Tuesday" February 24th. Funny, right! I have lost 10 lbs. on pre-op diet. I am really ready since I have been dealing this since July 10. BCBS requested that I spend 6 months "to prove to them that I can lose weight." So I jumped that hoop and just waiting to go through those double doors. I am even going to wear my mardi gras beads. I hope that you can post some meals on your website as I panic if I don't plan ahead. Hope to support everyone as you support me! :tt2: -

I see Dr. Nancy Marquez. I will be banded on "Fat Tuesday" February 24th. I really love Dr. Marquez and everyone in the office. I am very confident that she will be a motivator as well as Jerry, the nutritionist. He never minds any of my calls which reassures me that I am in good hands. I am most anxious to begin as I have been working on this roller coasters since July 10th. I now see the end of tunnel but the beginning on getting to the other side! I have really learned many useful ideas that I will definitely how me with my journey. I have lost 12 pre-op pounds and still have 4 days of Atkins and 1 day of just liquids the day before. I'm ready and ask for your thoughts and prayers as I pray for you. -

Hooray! I finally received final approval yesterday. I go for my pre-op tests on Monday as well as the Bariatric Clinic's nutritionist who will talk about the pre-diet and post-diet. He also makes the appointment for the pre-op appointment with the surgeon. I am so excited and I feel less anxious now that I am really close. I attended my informational seminar on July 10! I will know pretty soon the actual date of my surgery and will grateful post it! Thanks for the support I receive by reading your messages. The messages sure answer a lot of questions that I have.

This morning was my last nutritionist appointment....so all the paperwork is in to my advocate. She will be sending all to the insurance company for final approval. Then soon I should be getting my surgery date. I am excited and anxious at the same time. I will post my date as soon as I know it! I am thinking good thoughts for all the December people and wish them the best.
