Same! My pre op blood work is scheduled for April 13th! I have my psych apt this Friday and my last Nut apt for the 28th and I'm all set till the big day! The closer the date gets the more nervous I have become because I know it's a huge life style change but I am soooo ready!!!

Same here I'm super nervous. But we got this! Reading success stories has helped me tremendously although I know that every one has a different journey.

They said if all my clearances go through I should be having surgery in April as well. I have to have two visits with Nut beforehand as well. Was I. The paperwork process since late Oct. Slowed down by my decision to change wls clinics mid-stream. I have lost about 102 pounds so far, but at 450+ pounds I have plenty of weight to lose. I have been trying to follow the guidelines set out by the original place. Can't say it's been easy and I have overdone it on a few occasions, but I keep plugging away just trying to work towards my surgery date as best I can.
I would love to find a surgery buddy or a mentor. Anyone out there on a similar situation? Older, short, HW 450, CW 348, and surgery coming up in April.

I'm done with my nut dr. on the 20th March and hope to get surgery in april but more likely may, they were really good at getting all my appointments done by that time so thats my last visit to get my date. I am older, short 4'11", sw 238, now about 210 or a little less, and feeling anxious also.keep me posted please.

That is super fast! What insurance do you have? My insurance requires a 6 month process. I started everything back in Nov.



My insurance requirement was also six months of meetings and approvals from all my drs and a couple of theirs. I now know that it takes about six months just to learn everything about this diet change that we are learning how to make all the appropriate changes.

I'm set for April 5th. I was originally set for September 2016 but one of my pre-opt tests showed an issue I needed to address. That's done and I'm finally rescheduled and hopefully on my way. Fingers crossed!

I just found out I was approved and my surgery is scheduled for April 17th. I was really shocked that my approval only took about 24 hours [emoji15].

Now it is getting real!

      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.
