I thought I wouldn't be having mine until late August/September but they said July and my last appt will be July. I don't have to lose weight either but I can't gain any before the surgery or my insurance will deny me. I'm a smoker but I only have to quit 30 days before. I only have to do preop diet 3 days instead of the week or 10 days I see others have to do it. I guess there are different rules depending on the insurance, the doctor and the patients health.

Sounds like me! I thought my surgery would be June (started the program mid December) but my last nut class is May 2nd and they said I didn't have to wait another month, I could have surgery in May. So woohoo! :)

I'm crossing my fingers real hard for July 11th as my surgery date. When I was at my first appointment, the scheduler threw that date out as my probable date, so I'm clinging to it. She said the surgeon only does surgery once a month at the hospital that I'm required to go to. So if it isn't July 11th, then I'm out to August which would be a bummer. I also have to schedule it around my coworker's vacation times because we aren't allowed to have 2 people off at the same time. And right now nobody has that time off in July. I can only hope everything works out with scheduling.

My last weigh-in and my upper endoscopy are scheduled for May 19 and 20th.

Mine ended up earlier because they schedule my mandatory 6 months of dietician appointments a few days to a week earlier each time. They told me thats how they do it. Lol

I was told after my last apt it takes a week to transcript my surgeons notes. Then they will sumit it to insurance.was told that takes about two to four week to get it back, while thats happening i have to have a meeting with nutrition again and then i guess thats it.

      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.
