Hey there :). I'm 5'5" and 258. I'm scheduled for surgery on July 28th! So excited and can't believe it's finally here!!! I'm 35, a mom, wife and OB nurse. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I can't wait to see what the future holds after surgery.

My surgery should be August or September have to wait the six months for my insurance to approve. I just have the cardiac clearance to do yet and I am calling the doctor tomorrow to schedule that. Trying to prepare by exercising and drinking Protein Drinks. I was 292 when this all started in March and I am 5' 9" currently my weight is 264. If anyone is around my surgery date I would love to go through this with someone else. Also my husband bought me a jawbone UP if anyone has one and would like to link them up,for motivation I would love that too.

Hello! I do not have a date, but looking forward to surgery in early July. I am a self-pay, so no need for insurance approval, just getting on the schedule. Unlike many of you, I have some age on me...I will be 57 in July...251 lbs and 5'4". If I don't get this weight off, I am doomed for a massive heart attack. Same as my mother and my eldest brother. Looking forward to chatting with you!

Hi everyone! I am 55 years old and 5'5" and weight is 257. I'm in Virginia. The only major thing I have left to do is the endoscopy w/ bravo. I have pre paid for my surgery and I now find out that the bariatric surgery program surgery program at my hospital is on hold because the PA is leaving. I don't know how long it will be before I get a date now. My endoscopy is on the 20th of June and my surgeon said we will talk surgery dates after that. I'm frustrated because nobody would give me an idea of how long it would take to get a date. I'm so happy for all of you that have their dates and wish you all the best!'

Hi skylarkx! I'm in Virginia too, in Fredericksburg, having my surgery in Richmond. Where are you in Va, and who is your surgeon?

I'm in Staunton Virginia and I'm having surgery on August 1 at RMH Sentara in Harrisonburg with Dr Garwood

Hello any help would be great as my date is set for July 23rd. I have blue shield and they denied me because they said I was missing a paper. We re faxed it in and they said they can take an additional 5 days. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had this happen to them? Will it take the full 5 days at that point? Some say it's quicker but I'm worried. Please help lol

      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.
