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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pvechiola 195 Posted March 12, 2017 I've been trying the Premier Protein shakes, not bad, I like the chocolate and Carmel, the strawberry n cream was too sweet but added a banana and was OK. I have one case of strawberry and yes they are too sweet, I added ice and a little splash of 2% milk it helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pvechiola 195 Posted March 12, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pvechiola 195 Posted March 12, 2017 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. 1 hopekate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katieroybal 183 Posted March 13, 2017 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! 2 sometimesj and bubbz333 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
