I sent mine in for jan 17th about two months ago. They can't forget about me cause I don't let them. I email them all the time with one question or another. Go ahead send ur deposit to hold ur date. Then it will seem that much more real. And you are one step closer to you new life.

Lol I know! I'm always sending them questions! I've talked to about 5 different coordinators so far just trying to figure out who I wanna go with. I know it's not really a big deal who the actual coordinator is because I'm ending up with the same surgeon anyway. I think I'm just wanting this experience to be pleasant overall. I have panic attacks and bad anxiety, and all it would take is one little bad thing to happen and I would freak! Haha

Lol then that's one more reason to go ahead and send in your deposit. Then you will feel like you can't back out.

Leap of faith. Nothing ventured, nothing gained... Or in our case, lost. ;-)

Thanks. That's what I told my husband too, I just need to do it cuz it'll just feel that much more real.

I made my deposit today for 2/21/13. Now that it is done, I thought I would feel better but now I am really nervous. As far as you worried about your deposit, I have my reciept of deposit and their confirmation (and a copy because I am neurotic) for reference!

18 1/2 weeks to go! I hope this goes faster than I think it is.

      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.
