Where are the November Sleevers?

[healthychoice2014 13]

I found out today that bcbstx approved my surgery, but now im waiting for the surgery to be scheduled. I am really hoping they make it before the end of the year. I still have to have my egd. So im hoping I will be in Nov. Please pray for me and good luck to all of you!!!

What pre-op testing are y'all getting? I'm not sure what my doctor requires... I have my pre-op next Monday, 10/27. I just figured I'd pay my upfront costs, have some blood work and find out what time I have to be at the hospital on the 4th!

My pre-op testing is just the egd, blood work and the ekg. Oh yeah, the sleep study. Nothing special!

My doctor doesn't require the EGD but I have already done the EKG and sleep study. I just need to get these last 8lbs off and then I'll be ready to rock and roll! Woohoo!

I don't have to do the sleep study.

angierue, my pre-op testing was a chest x-ray, bloodwork and EKG.

Angierue, my pre-op tests included: breathing tests, EKG, 6 different sets of lab work, barium swallow, sleep apnea study, chest X-rays, a whole other round of labs done by his Endocrinologist, and 2 one hour visits with his dietician. Also a full physical with my GP.

So happy to be done all that and in 8 days will be starting my 4 week liquid diet!

I'm laying here thinking... Two weeks from tonight, I'll be making sure all my stuff is ready and lines up for my trip to the hospital!! I wish I could hit fast forward.

I'm scheduled for 11/11. My pre OP testing (labs, EKG, chest X-ray and barium swallow) are on 10/31. Also have a 4 hour class on my pre OP liver reduction diet and post OP diet stages the same day. I'm thinking of going thru my clothes, doing a deep cleaning of my house and purging a bunch of stuff in general. Now seems like a good time to de-clutter!

Just started my pre op diet today after finishing my pre op labs! So they did another blood test, urine test, an ecg, and I went over more information with the nurse. They told me to start the pre op liquid diet immediately.

Its was day earlier than I thought it would be and I had a girl's night planned at my house tonight. I was thinking in my head it would be OK to just start tomorrow. .. then I changed my mind. This is it! Thats the old me and my old way of thinking. I don't need to delay it with another excuse like girl's night! I am super excited still about starting my new life so i think that helped me breeze through today. Plus all my friends that came over tonight were really supportive and didn't mind it. It was a good first day at least

This pre-op diet may suck while at work but every morning Im lighter and lighter. 7 lbs in 2 days!!! We can do this yall!!!

I have my pre-op class on 10/29 I only have to do my pre-op diet for 3 days so my surgery is on Monday. I only have to worry about Friday at work otherwise I can go to sleep over the weekend if I get too hungry.
