I'm just beginning the journey! Waiting for insurance clearence and then my 1st appointment. Most of my family is understanding but I have a few hold outs. And then there's always that friend that wants to know how much I need to lose or someone who tells me it's to drastic!

Good luck! March 9th will be here before you know it!

My surgery is also March 9th in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. My husband and I were hoping to have a relaxing little vaca and have my surgery at the same time. I have been reading posts on complications and it is making me a bit nervous. I have a very supportive husband but am keeping my surgery a secret from other family, friends and co-workers. I am a labor nurse and have taken two weeks off of work, hoping that will be enough time to recover.

We are but I am old enough to be your mother!! I live in a suburb of Houston and work in the Medical Center. I am ready to do this. I was ready last summer and fall but became very Iron deficient and the surgeon said I had to correct that first. Anyway, I have several co-morbidities, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, NASH with esophageal varicies, RA and obstructive sleep apnea. I am praying that some of these will be resolved with this procedure.

      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?

      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.
