Jay05 35 Posted September 2, 2015 Jay05 My surgeon told me that the liquid diet prior to your surgery helps the healing. It is less painful and heals faster. It wouldn't hurt right. My surgery date is set for September 14 in California. I am on a liquid diet at the moment with a small meal in the evening. Headaches are awful!! But from what I've read on this site.. it gets easier!! How are you feeling about your surgery? not long for you either. I can believe mine is in 2 days!!!

MissRobin 93 Posted September 2, 2015 Called my case worker yesterday to go over some last minute details. Turns out my surgery is on the 11th and not the 10th as I had originally assumed. There was a mis-communication when I booked my surgery to what I had told my case worker regarding booking. Now I will be in TJ 2 days pre-op. Time to get in some shopping, sightseeing and POOL TIME !! Makes me a tad nervous that I will only have 2 days post-op in the hospital instead of the optional 3. Fingers cross there is no drainage issues before I get discharged and come home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi there , I started the process mid June...I was having problems with my lapband so they did an EGD and found I had a hernia. My insurance is covering that and I'm cash pay for the remainder.

Kaliahsings2u 13 Posted September 4, 2015 @@pindoctor I'm in the same boat. Scheduled for the 17th. Waiting for my psych to be sent to my bariatric doctor so they can send all the info to my insurance. I was told my insurance company only takes a couple days to approve so I should be fine but I started pre op diet today. ???? went pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
