Batman 31 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm bipolar as well so I worry about my emotions too. I also worry about how I'll handle my 5 day Clear liquids only pre op diet without hurting anyone lol. I'm approved and scheduled for 10/3. Pre op appt is sep 16. I'm scheduled for October 3rd too. Just had my psych eval today so auth should be completed soon.

back2barb78 890 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi I am scheduled for 10/7/2013 as well! I will be having mines in Memphis' date=' Tn. I have everything complete to go except Class 2 of my nutrition class. I was able to pick my date in which I could have it much sooner but this works out for me since my son will be on fall break and its the biggest of my worry to make sure he is taken care of and my husband is also off that day. I will start stocking up on my Protein shakes and bars next month and get my foods for my 2 week liver shrink diet together. I am very excited I have had this weight on me for 7 yrs so its time to go![/quote'] Davalrie We will have to share our experiences with each other and see how or if they differ. I too have to stock up in shakes and figure out what I like. I bought a few yesterday and need to order some sampler packs. We don't have much time do we?! I'm very excited about serving this fat it's eviction notice too! I had no clue I could go elsewhere and do this without jumping through insurance hoops otherwise I would have done it a long time ago. {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(} 1 Davalrie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
