March 2014 Surgery!

[malijah 10]

Uh I'm so disappointed... Instead of a march date that I expected my dr is going on vacation so my surgery date is April 8 7:30am. I was told to stop the liquid diet but continue to eat high Protein low carbs and losing weight then I have to restart a week before the surgery. The wait is killing me!!

I know the feeling, my tentative surgery date was Jan 24th then the insurance wanted more documentation, then the next available date was February 11th but I had something going on... then the doctor had something going on and I got a Feb 28th date then started pre-op diet got call reschedule to March 3rd. As anxious as I was it goes by pretty quick now all my labs are done and Monday morning I go under at 7:30am!! My surgeon is now starting to use the robot for robotic assisted surgery. So the wait may have benefitted me!

I have all my prescriptions filled and my date for surgery is March 13th. BCBSIL received my paperwork from the doctor on the 24th, just waiting for the final approval. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday I know I'm good to go. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow.

sorry that you were delayed. Time will go by quickly, I went through the same thing, I was approved on 1-5-13 and had to wait until 3-17-14. It's worth the wait

March is just around the corner. Wishing an easy and successful surgery for those of you having your big day next week!

My tentative date is March 17th. I didn't have any particular amount that they told me to lose. I lost at the

beginning and then gained some around Christmas but lost 14 since then. i didn't loose any this month.

i'm worried to and Monday

I have my last weigh and start my liquid diet too. i'm drinking Water, water, water and i'll be at the gym all

weekend.

i hate being this close & having this uncertainty. & i can see the inches coming off and it doesn't reflect the scale.

so frustrating.

Congrats to everyone I should have my date on March 5 and I should be having my surgery by the third week of March fingers cross. I am so glad that tomorrow is March 1st because i have finished my 6 month weight management requirement in Jan of this year and has just been waiting on the surgeon to become available .

What did everyone stock up on for their 2 week diet?

I need to go shopping this weekend and trying to get some ideas.

I bough bullion cubes to make broth. I like 1 chicken cube, one beef cube, and some onion powder. I bought a couple of types of Popsicles and a lot of yogurt. I bought some cottage cheese tonight because I was desperate for something different. I bought a couple of kinds of juice but I limit how much of that I have since it's high on the carbs.

<p>Tomorrow is my last pre-op appt (psych). Can you all share your psych appt experiences? </p>

I called BCBS Anthem today. My surgeon's office submitted auth request for March 31st surgery. Ins said they have 5 days to respond and to call in a few days.....

when you get cottage cheese and yogurt do you get the low fat, fat free or light? I never know which ones to get
