A Week From Today!

[ncstatebabe 6]

One week from today I will officially be a member on the "loser bench." I've already lost 11lbs on my pre-op diet and can't wait to see how much weight I'll lose by my surgery day. I go in at 5:15 AM and am scheduled for surgery at 7:30 AM on 2/6/12. The nerves are starting to hit but I know I can do this! Any last advice that will help with my success afterwards and possibly things I will/should bring to the hospital? Thanks everyone for all the support; I absolutely love this site

What insurance do you have, that was quick!!!! I have Fed BC/BS. It says three month supervised weight loss program but, I going in to my first appt. armed with my diet history for the whole last year. I also have my letter of medical necessity. I hope it doesn't take too long. Heather

ME TOO! ME TOO!

By this time next week I should be all hacked up and on my way to a whole new life. It's kind of hard to believe it's really happening.

GOOD LUCK!!! I fly down to Washington next Monday but my surgery is not till Thursday. Everytime I start thinking about it now I get butterflies. I know though that it will all be good and I can't wait to start the losing process.

I have BCBSNC. I didn't need a supervised medical diet but i did need proof of my weight, height and bmi for the last 5 years. my whole process took me less than two months and that's because i stayed on it and made sure everything was ok for insurance. good luck on your journey!

We are ALL the same day! COOL I know we are all SOOOO READY!!! I'm glad I have some buddies on here I started my liguid pre-op diet yesterday, woke up 4 pounds lighter today. I know that won't happen every day but would be nice to lose a pound a day this week. Of course I have had a mojor headache since yesterday afternoon.

I had a RMB resting metabolic rate test done yesterday and it says mine is 1930 which the nut said is towards the high side for a woman so that's good! I hope it stays high for while, I'm sure it will go down quite a bit when I lose more weight unfortunatly.
