lyricallyme2 2 Posted July 21, 2013 My preauthorization went through fairly quick. I attended a seminar on 5/21/13 and was approved to move forwards on 6/29th. Dr told me to lose about 15 pounds...I called on 7/10 to report that I'd lost 17 pounds. He wanted to set the surgery originally for 7/20, but he was booked that day, so I am scheduled on the 2 to making the biggest decision in my adult life! To change...for me! Good Luck to everyone out there! 1 1SlimSistah2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3117mel 0 Posted July 21, 2013 Good luck to you too. Its lovely that there are so many here who can support each other. Am feeling nervous as my date approaches. But I think the nerves are normal. Im sure I will freak out a little afterwards too but I think thats normal too. Its irreversable and a drastic change but I have to remember how much I need to do this.

3117mel 0 Posted July 22, 2013 Have been on Optifast for a week now. I started it a week earlier to make sure I could stick with it. Its difficult but do-able. Im hungry sometimes but I can mask it with a cup of tea or glass of Water. Good luck to you all for your surgeries. 8 days tomorrow..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
