NewMe86 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Wow, it seems so many of us are starting to get ready for September! I am so excited for us. Who is doing a pre-op diet? And when are you starting? Doing my pre-op diet 2 weeks before... Only allowed Meal Replacement shakes and Protein bars . I'm sooo neverous I'm going have headaches and become very tired.. Right now I'm going through the last supper syndrome anyone one else having this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wishes 125 Posted July 27, 2011 @NewMe86: Not really, maybe more of a last drink or two or three... or every weekend until August, lol. I've been kind of saying good by to alcohol. It is kind of hard to be a college student and not drink, so I am kind of getting my last hoorah out of the way or at least until six months after surgery. I've been low carbing it since May, and I can say I think I am okay with food for now, but I am definitely coming to realize I am saying goodbye to a lifestyle now too. I definitely won't be the quintessential college student anymore. 1 a change is comin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalistone 2 Posted July 27, 2011 I may be September, but hopefully August! I have completed all steps. The insurance approval was received July 15th, so now am waiting for the scheduler to call. I was told the surgery would be in 'about' 4 weeks! Excited, nervous....Not looking forward to two week pre-op diet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a change is comin 3 Posted July 27, 2011 Hey all my september sleevers!!! Me and my doctor are shooting for a september date as well. I have finished 90% of all my testing. I have to do a sleep study, chest x-ray & have a venus doppler test and that's it! I'm so excited to finally be making that change to healthier/happier me. I have a million emotions I go thru and it seemed like september would take FOREVER to get here and look its damn near August. I'm wishing all the best of luck and hoping we all graduate to that loser's bench with honors, lol!! I'll be watching everyone's process. P.s.

I'm waiting for the nurse to call me for my History/Physical appt. at that time I'll get my surgery date. I'm thinking the second week of September, will be my surgery. Is anyone nervous or it's just me? Anyone else scheduled or hoping to be sleeved in September?

dalistone 2 Posted August 24, 2011 I received insurance approval July 15th. I waited and waited to hear from my WL surgeon. Finally, after leaving two messages with them, they called and told me that they are more than 12 weeks backed up on surgery and they were trying to figure out how to solve the problem. I started the process today with a different WL dr and hope to have my surgery within a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
