My surgery is set for Jan 4.

I just got my bloodwork done today but still have ecg and physical to do Friday. I feel nervous because my deadline for those is dec 14. I guess that's just me though, worry lots. Like something going to go wrong. I'm also worried, And anxious about the pre-op diet. I start dec 21...

I just want to get everything in order and on the operating table already. Bring on the new year!

Thankful I found this app, feel like there's a lot of support ❤️

I'll be a 2017er! My waiting period is 89 days and my first appointment was November 23rd. I'll be eligible in February and will likely do it around March.

I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.

>I will I don't have the date yet I'm hoping in January : )

I hope you are able to get your January date!

January 5th in Tijuana! I think I saw one other gal with the same date! Ive been so excited, but as soon as December hit I started freaking out and getting nervous. Trying not to think too much about it besides that it'll all be worth it in the end, trying to stay positive!

I am hoping to have my sleeve done in May. My insurance requires 12 months of family doctor visits before paperwork can be sent for approval. I have had 7 visits so far.

      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.
