I am July 7th also....they moved me up last week. I was orginially set for July 14th. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow...6/23. they want two weeks of the liver shrinking diet...so needless to say...i had my last two hotdogs today at lunch. i think i am just ready to get it on!! I am ready for change! I am excited but very nervous about the whole surgery---being put to sleep and pain afterwards. I am praying that God will keep me cause I have worked on this process for a loooonnnnngggg time. Now the time has come and I know he wont leave me now. Best to all of you!!

Well....let's see. I have Cigna insurance. First Dr's(primary care physican) appt- Oct-08 thru June-09(insurance required 6 mths of Dr. supervised diet) Phsych evaluation - April-09 Nutrional evaluation - June-09 Surgeon seminars/clinics - 2009 - I attended 2 so far. Final clinic and pre-op admission - July 6,2009 Surgery date - July 7, 2009 So in all approx. 9 mths....most of that is due to insurance requirements. But in the long run...it is well worth it because I only had to come out of pocket with $2000. Everything else is taken care of by Cigna at 100%.

Hi all....my surgery date is 7/14th. I am really excited and scared but I guess that is being human.
