June surgeries!

TransformingBri,

We have the same surgery date and I start my diet on the 21st as well. Girl I have been eating everything and my Dr. On the last visit said I gained 5 lbs but it will all change after surgery.

Mjlange68,

It took a week for insurance approval and maybe a day for the doctor's office to call back. They planned a May date for me but I had to reschedule for June. It shouldn't take long. You can contact your insurance as well. I know I called to verify if the doctor submitted and they were able to tell me the process of my claim. Keep us updated

Hello Everyone!!!!! I am new to the forum

My surgery date is June 4th. My liver shrink diet starts in May 21st. So for now' date=' unfortunately, I'm eating everything I can think of. Did anyone else do that?[/quote']

I have thought about it, kinda like a "things I want to eat before surgery" list. Probably not the healthiest mentality for me! In the last few weeks, I've had Pasta, a clam chowder bread bowl, a donut, a big cookie from my favorite bakery, etc. I'm finding that it's not all that great. I feel way better when I eat my chicken, veggies, salad, etc. In fact, the most delicious thing I've eaten in a long while was a grilled salmon filet, which I should be able to eat after surgery (after being cleared for solids, of course)! I don't want to gain any weight now, just because I know I'll lose it. I feel terrible at this weight. That's why I'm having the surgery. When I keep that in mind, suddenly I don't care about all those foods that I shouldn't be eating.

Lol! My husband is so supportive but I know he is tired of hearing about it. We normally spend Sunday enjoying a movie or lunch, but I made him cone with me to get all of my necessary items after surgery. He was a great help with pickibg out Protein mixes.

I just spoke to the doctor's office this morning, everything's complete and they're submitting to insurance and said it will take 4-6 weeks for approval so realistically I'm probably looking at a June surgery. It seem so far away!!! I'm so ready now!!!

[momx4goingthedistance 9]

I'm hoping to submit to insurance on may 15th and hope to get approved for June - I'm so nervous about getting denied

[futuremrsparker 288]

Good to go!!! Yayyy! Work, my surgeon, and insurance approve of my surgery on June 5th!! Sooo excited! This is really happening!! :D

[WOW101 54]

Awesome!

So I get a phone call from the surgical office , we got the green light from the insurance ........ I have 3 classes left for the workshop ...... surgery date is June 24th ...... finally happening ..... now comes the excited / nervous feeling , lol, but I'm glad it's coming

[futuremrsparker 288]

That's great!! Congratulations! It will all be so worth it for all of us! Just think about how you will feel and look a year from now! I almost can't even fathom the thought of even being under 200lbs! I haven't been there since elementary/middle school! How exciting!!

What has been the most challenging thought for everyone here?

Mine has been just wondering how I will feel skinny... It's such an odd thought for me. I never even thought I would see the day when I won't be "the fat girl" in the room.
