weightnomore 8 Posted November 4, 2010 My surgery is scheduled for December 6 so I will be in the same boat with some of you missing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I will be starting my Preop diet on November 22. I am starting to get very excited and a little bit nervous. weightnomore where are you located in Virginia? I am in Richmond. Hi, I am in the western part of Northern Virginia. My brother and his family live in Richmond. Are you having your surgery at Bon Secours? I had my one on one nutrition consultation on Monday and she said the doctor did not mark down any pre-surgery weight loss goal for me. She thinks I will not have to do any pre-surgery diet. What a relief. I guess it is because my BMI is on the low end. I will be on liquids for two weeks after surgery and mushies for 6 weeks. I'm getting more and more excited.

And, then it all will be submitted to insurance. and, gave me an appointment to meet with my doctor. yay! i'm starting to get nervous i won't get approved... or i wont get approved in time (December) if I can't get it done in December I'll have to wait until April for Spring Break. the wait now is just killing me.. I can't imagine waiting longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weightnomore 8 Posted November 7, 2010 Your surgery is the day before mine and I hope to be eating mushies by Christmas, since I am on liquids for two weeks. That means I start mushies on the 21st. Guess that means cottage cheese and Soup for Christmas dinner-yum, yum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
