I'm sorry that your feeling anxious! This entire journey is not going to be easy but you have stayed strong and only have 4 days left. There is a pot of gold at the end on the rainbow! You will be fine. Just know that you have a lot of people that are here to support you. We all need to find new ways that are positive to deal with triggers. Try to do something that will take your mind off what makes you nervous. Maybe take up a new hobby? Stay strong and keep your mind right ! ::hugs::

Howdy! I hope everyone is doing well! Getting nervous/excited I'm sure. I have a new situation. My surgery date has been moved to sept. 25th. I don't mind too much. My biggest concern is that I carry my own insurance right now. I am going to quit my job as soon as I can and I wonder how long my insurance will cover me after I quit? Do I have to work up until the surgery to keep it covered? I will switch to my husband's after, so I'm not worried about no coverage, just about the surgery. I've been approved by my and I don't want to start over again. I work over nights. My husband and I have decided to keep me home to take care of the house and our children. I'm excited, but, like I said, I get very worried that something will happen and they won't want to pay for this surgery. ----whew, there's my venting for the day! Good will to everyone and I hope you all have beautiful days!

Welcome surgery sista we will have our surgery on the same day if my heart acts right!

About your insurance usually when you quit a job your insurance is paid til the end of the month but check with your HR to be sure. in any case you could always COBRA but that usually is very expensive. far better to stay at your job til surgery date to be sure and get any vacation time paid to you or short term disability if you have it then never go back. plus you can always be added to the hubby's policy due to a life change ie quitting your job. since your surgery is at the end of the month make sure you pay your premium in full before you quit the job so you are sure to have it til the end of the month.

Hi! I am ready for surgery this coming Wednesday! I'm part excited and part nervous! Thanks to my HMO, I feel really well educated and prepared for this journey. They require a 12 week course, siminar and support groups prior to surgery. Have met with the doc twice, his staff a couple times and the instruction has been incredible. Really feel blessed to be so prepared. Just found this app and I'm looking forward to joining in!

Hellooooooo.....

Your pre-op stuff sounds like mine. It's not so much how much you weigh but that you are taking the steps to change it to be a healthier person. My mom was very obese and unhealthy. She passed away at 61 because she choose to remain unhealthy. I didn't want to be the person she had become. I was originally going for the sleeve but due to my hernia' date=' I have to have bypass. I hope I can be disciplined enough to follow all the rules. From what I hear, you have to be because of the consequences![/quote']

Hi, not sure u r talking to me? I'm new at this forum stuff :-) Yes, it does sound very much the same!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
