Dr Caruana is doing mine. What do you have left to do before they will schedule a date? Once insurance approves its about 4-6 weeks till date. It will go by quick, just hang in there

Hi all! This is my first post but I've been lurking on this site for months and it has been invaluable to me. I'm scheduled for surgery February 25 in Charlotte, NC. I'm nervous, excited and impatient. I can't wait to get to the other side. I started testing out the pre-op liquid diet today so I know how bad it will be, especially since I will be traveling for business when I have to start doing it for real. Good luck to all. February is going to be life changing!
