September 3rd if the universe and Cigna are kind! LOL they surprised me with 2 additional Dr visits that I was unaware of, so hopefully I will get my approval in time for my date! Otherwise I will have to push it out.

I am having the sleeve done 9/1. On day 2 of pre-op diet. Hanging in there so far and trying to take it one day at a time.

I too am having my sleeve done on 9/1! We should keep in touch and support each other throughout the recovery process.

I find it amazing the vast differences in pre-op diets. I know that mine (2weeks Clear Liquids and Protein shakes) is the most severe and is for all my Drs patients (meaning it was not customized for me). And to the best of my knowledge - that's what other doctors do - they have a single protocol and is not customized for the patient. Since the surgeries are all the same, thus just doesn't make sense to me. I wonder if doctors like mine (who have dictated the strictest protocol) know that a lot of patients will cheat so that is why they make the diet harder than it really needs to be?

Just got the call I've been waiting on for months. Surgery date September 15th!

My surgery is September 3rd. So excited. I started my pre-op diet today. Going good. I'm self pay and my biggest fear is complications. I've read a lot of horror stories on here today and it's got me a little nervous.

My date is the 3rd as well, yes complications can happen but I am a big believer that knowledge is power too.
