Mine is scheduled for April 25th. I'm super excited but nervous too!

I'm on the 10th and feel exactly the same way...very excited and nervous, too. I can't wait or the 10th to get here, but am scared, too. This has all happened kind of fast. I saw the dr last fall and then put off seeing the psychiatrist. I finally decided to see him and made an apt for Mar 25th. A few days later, the surgeons office called and BAM I'm scheduled for surgery! Kind of a whirlwind after a lot of feet dragging! I am ready tho. So glad that I don't have to go thru this alone.

I started the process in October of last year. It all went pretty quick until every thing got submitted to insurance then it slowed way down. It felt like it took forever to get approval. But it finally was :). I got a call last friday to schedule my surgery date and now I can't wait I want the 25th to be here. Lol. Good luck with yours, keep me posted on how it goes :)

Hi , I bet you are ready. I started to have the procedure 3 years ago and change my mind because I wanted to give the weight loss one last chance with diet and exercise. No luck. So I went for my nutritional visit and I have my psy eval on Wednesday. I hoping to have everything in place for June and I will have the summer to get in order before I gobkack to work

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
