I got my approval from insurance yesterday, I'm scheduled or July 15 as well!! I have all my per-op on the 9th as well as my final weigh in! I'm excited,anxious, and also I'm getting nervous! How are you feeling with everything coming up really soon?

I cant wait to be there either! I can't sleep anymore, all I do us lay awake and think about it!! When did you first start this entire process? wondering how long it took you to get a date? my first appointment was May 2, and i got my date June 20. Insurance approved it 4 days later! i cant believe how quick it all went for me!Keep me posted how everything goes! I'm glad I met someone who has the same dates as I do!! Good luck and keep in touch! Carrieann

I started with my seminar in January and my intake appointment in Late January. I made the decision to this in December. I had to do a 3 month supervised diet and then get a cardiology clearance (my cardiologist is über careful so I had a stress test, nuclear stress test and echo on top of the EKG the surgeon wanted. That's a good thing, but it added a month to my wait time. But now I have the date and time (I check in at 7:30 on the 15th and hit the OR at 9:30). I am sure the next two weeks will fly by! I have started dreaming about why I will look like and what I will do when I lose 85-90 pounds. .

I have my first shake sitting by me. Since I don't have to do full liquids I am starting today instead of next week. Hopefully I will lose a few more pounds this way.

That's awesome! I check in at 8:00 and hit the OR at 10:00!! Not looking forward to recovery! But I know I'm doing this for a good reason! I can't wait to be about 110-120 pounds lighter!!

Yay!! I know it I'm glad I met buddies on my same day! We'll have to keep in touch !

[babywools 34]

Definitely! I like knowing others will be with me in spirit the day of surgery.

In other news I went ahead and started my pre-op diet today. Oh my Lord, the headache! On the bright side I get to have grilled chicken and green Beans in a couple hours. Hopefully that will help.

[MWhalen 12]

You are lucky grilled chicken!! ( Never thought I would say that!!) lol. I have to do two weeks of liquid but you do get vegetable soup!! Yay! haha.

My surgeon uses different pre-ops based on BMi. He said I could have 1 lean high Protein meal a day up until the day before. Then just Clear Liquids.
