Hello Outrageous Octobers!

I am so excited!!!!

I can not wait to embark on this journey with each of you!

Hugs,

Jane

CONGRATS!!! I can not wait until I am in your situation that I can say I got approved. Still waiting...

Hi everyone!

I'm scheduled for October 5th. I started my 2-week diet today, but mine seems much different from everyone else. I have 2 Protein Shakes per day (breakfast and snack/dessert) and 2 small (lo-fat, lo-carb, high protein) meals per day. So I get real food and don't have to rely on just shakes. I feel so fortunate, but I also feel so bad for all of you that have to take that route.

Getting anxious, but I know time will fly by and I will be in and out of surgery in no time.

Hi Everyone...Well much to my surprise I received my approval today. That was much faster then I expected. Most of the pre-op people I have been reading about are on 2 week liquid pre-surgery diets. My Dr. does not require that. I am dieting now but eating normally and I only have a 2 day clear liquid pre-diet. Could you guys tell me what your pre-surgery diet is. My surgery date is October 18th. I am feeling very excited at the prospect of being thin once and for all. I try very hard to be selective about what I read on this website though. Some of the bad stories of slippage etc. can get a little scary... Lets hope for the best for all of us!! Looking forward to sharing our war stories..:rolleyes2:

Good Morning All,

:thumbup:I am scheduled to be banded on the 15th, but still waiting for approval from my Insurance company:thumbdown:. I am extremely excited!!! What are you guys doing to prepare?

All I can think about is the surgery. My date is October 29th. Hope I can do a 10 day liquid diet. The only people I have told is a couple of close friends (one of which had this done) and my mom. I am afraid to tell my sister becuz she had gastric bypass 5 years ago, and still suffers symptoms (throwing up) and I think she is going to be negative about this when I tell her. I HAVE to tell her though since she is my ride to the hopsital. WHat do I DO?????
