siera63 94 Posted July 29, 2016 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? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheneisew 52 Posted July 29, 2016 @@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.

busybeebug 415 Posted July 29, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Me too 9/19. I'm so anxious in a good way. One more weigh in and then I go for approval.

Kimba Maria Wiggins 81 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) 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.
