Congrats. I had mixed emotions when I finally got my surgery date. I feel sometimes mines was easy cuz I'm self pay and didnt have to jump through all the hoops insurance companies make people go through. Anyhow, I start my pre-op diet on may 9th, go for barium swallow and EKG on may 6th, surgery date may 20th. I'm so excited, i hope this next 5 weeks flys by!

You have nothing but a great life ahead. Best decision ever.

Tips tried and true as you prepare:

Read on these sites every minute you can.

Take your measurements NOW and then every month. Trust me you will need this later

Start chewing and chewing and cheweing now

Do not drink with your meals starting now.

Remove "questionable" foods from your home

Tell lots of people so you will have the support

Make a list of things you can not do now that you plan to do later

Make a list of ways you will reward yourself for the small goals and then big goals

Be reasonable on your expectations discuss this with your surgeon, our plan is usally more aggressive then theit plan for us. They have done this awhile and know what they are talking about

Prepare, plan and then succeed.

This is a wonderful time to plan for a long and happy future. Best of luck to you and keep us posted and use this site as a resource. ASK ASK ASK, that is the benefit of these sites.
