I have my orientation May 17, NUT appointments, Psych appointments and support group meetings usually take about 3 months. I should be done sometime in August and then they review and schedule so I am thinking September as well. My birthday is in September so I couldn't think of a better gift! So I may be September buddies with ya'll too!

Congrats! I'm counting down the days too! So excited to have a group of people who will be going through this at the same time! I have to wait 3 mos w/RD visits per insurance. I'll be done 2nd week of Aug. and they say it takes 2-3 weeks to get it all approved. So I'll have surgery & my b-day in Sept!

I too should be done in august. I went to the seminar may 13th and had my 1st appointment with the surgeon on may 20th, my psych evaluation is in late june and my nut appointment is june 13 as well as my weight management appointment. My question is because my insurance does not have a time limit can i move things along? And possibly have the surgery sooner?

How are all the September Op-babies dealing with the anticipation of your operation? Is it more of a B) or :angry:. LOL!

I'm still counting down. Looking at the success pictures only gives me more anticipation. B) :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
