Congratulations to everyone in October! Last week I found out I was approved and now set for surgery on October 14th. ????

I got my approval last Friday morning and got scheduled for October 21st. I have so many emotions, happy, nervous, excited, all of it. Now that I have a date it is getting more and more real. I have to do a two week liquid diet, that's going to be tough.

I start my diet 10 days prior. Mine is not just liquid. It is high Protein, carb reducing. I two Protein Shakes, only fruit vegetables, And healthy frozen meals.

I'm going October 23rd. My preop diet will start 2 weeks prior but it isn't a liquid diet. My post-op diet isn't a Protein Shake diet but rather a puree diet with yogurts, cottage cheese, applesauce, etc.

Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

I have one more class too. Pre opp testing, EGD, and 2 week diet also. Getting nervous.... it's getting so close. My date is October 15

I just see my surgeon for last min questions and a post op nutrition class which I'm excited about. I hope I do ok. I'm so scared something might happen and my son will be alone....on the other hand I'm so excited to have my new life and start living again !

Hi everyone! Today is my first day coming to this site! My surgery is scheduled for October 1! I have a CT Scan on Monday to see about a possible hernia or cyst on my side (that was found during the physical), and my EGD is scheduled for 9/18 to prove a hiatal hernia for insurance to cover. I'm really excited, nervous and scared. I keep thinking that one of these isn't going to be good news and it will affect the surgery date.

i expect to be sometime in October, but i won't get my date until after the insurance approves... which means after my endoscopy/colonoscopy next week, and after my last weigh in the week after, and after the surgeon's office submits me for insurance approval. the waiting sucks!! lol

pre-op, i have to do 4 days of liquid only.

I see the surgeon Thursday, Sept. 11th, I'm hoping for late October of early November at the latest. Wish me luck!
