Any February Surgery Dates Out There?



Recommended Posts

Just received my surgery date today! 2/22! Putting through insurance next week! Excited but all of a sudden nervous! Anxious about the insurance approval, the surgery itself, and life afterwards but my excitement certainly outweighs the worries. Would be great to find a few people going through it around the same time! ????

I'M WITH YA!! My date is Feb 10th - here goes nothin....

Yeah, still my excitement far outweighs my worries, that might change a bit in the coming weeks. I just came back from the gym after work, 40 min on treadmill and a buncha abdominals. Boy feels pretty good. I was 252 today, my highest has been 305lbs. I really want to go into surgery with a strong exercise routine going.

Ready or not we're going soon! How damn exciting, the best, pedro

Yeah it'll be helpful knowing you're going through it too. I will be out of work from the 10th to the 23rd going back to teach school on that Monday Feb 23rd (?), I'm a little worried about that but I can stay seated all day. This should be one heck of an adventure, I'll keep you posted

You guys, it's true, I need to stay in touch especially because hardly anyone in my little world will know. No one I work with, and only 3 family members. Yup, you guys, very very exciting. Yes, I do get a little nervous sometimes hearing the stories of follow up operations, gall bladder stuff, people's various discomforts, but I know I didn't sign on here for a cakewalk. That's why the next 25 days I want to hit the gym and walk as much as possible to go in as light and as toned as possible (chuckle, light and toned..), plus I will move heaven and earth to MAKE myself walk down those hospital hallways asap. We CAN and WILL do this thing!!! todo bien

I am right behind you with a March 3rd date. I hope I can sit at the cool kids table with you guys during this. I just finished my psych evaluation, had my first appointment with the dietitian. I am just waiting on some insurance stuff to go through, but all is looking good. It is all I can think about. I am keeping pretty quiet about it. I have not told social media yet, I am thinking about doing a video blog of the process. I am looking forward to hearing about your pre and post op's. Hoping this finds you well.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
