Got my surgery date, September 28, 2016!

I've been reading these boards for a few months now as I walk this journey, you all made me feel less anxious and more determined to go the distance. Thank you for that! My date is 9/28 and there will be no liquid weeks b4. My bmi is under 40 (not by much)so I guess that's good. I'm super excited and slightly anxious but happy to be healthier soon. I was told that a single belly button incision is not possible so I will have multiple incisions. Apparently my belly button is too low (although I prefer to think of it as my breasts are too high.) Anyone ever been told this?

@@cheneisew @@finding_onederland it's weird because my surgeon didn't give me a full liquid diet, (I'm not complaining) LOL but I will have two weeks of 2 small meals with one Meal Replacement shake, and then all liquids 48 hours before.

Are you guys getting nervous? I go from crazy excitement to a ball of nerves!

Haven't got the parameters of my diet yet. I probably will Monday when I see the NUT. hopefully it's not too crazy.

Hi all. I am 9/19/16. Anxious and ready. I am 48 year old and have battled pcos since my mid 20's.

Sw 276

Cw 269 (and not budging)

Goal. To eliminate all diabetes meds and improve my health. And of course want to lose some weight along the way.

My husband is getting sleeved too. He hasn't got his date yet but he is hoping for November.

Still waiting for the final approval from Cigna. But they set my date. Cigna not easy even with the uncontrolled diabetes. High blood pressure. Severe sleep apnea and pcos. First letter of denial because not medically necessity? Crazy! I KNOW it will get approved.

Glad to see some September sleepers out there. Live in and love this site.

My last nutritionist appointment is on August 16th (before my info is submitted to Medicaid for approval).

I already had my Pre-Op Upper GI test done (and found out I have a hiatial hernia). My surgeon told me that I'l be sleeved sometime in September, date to be determined.

Sept 26 for me. Hoping I can still do the Komen 5k walk the Saturday before for all the tatas! Going to check with my nutritionist when I go for my preop appointment if I can have a few extra calories for the walk

      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.
