My last appointment is on May 30th so I hope to have my surgery end of June when I take two weeks off for my birthday. I doubt that will happen so I'm guessing some time in August. Congrats!

Cool. I don't know when I'll find out I just know i needed three visits with the dietitian and my 3rd appointment is June so surgery should be mid July. Have u completed all your test and nutrition visits? When did you start the process?

I completed all my testing. My last appointment with nutritionist is this month. I started in November I had a couple of health issues that needed to be addressed so I had lots of testing and doctor appointments. It has been a very long road for me. I had two doctors that were very negative about me having gastric bypass so I replaced them both with doctors that both are so very happy for me and very supportive!

My surgery date is July 19th. I stilk have the cardiac exam and the sleep apnea test and then its just the pre-op stuff. I am anxious and cant wait to have my surgery. I know that this is not the body I am meant to have. Congratulations to you on the next chapter of your life! I look forward to seeing your progress [emoji123][emoji123]

Cardiac exam is quick & easy. I noticed that with heart specialist they may have a full schedule so its good to schedule the cardiac appointment as soon as possible but if you have already scheduled it make sure you go to it. The reason why I am saying this is because they fill up quick and when I rescheduled it took me another 3 weeks to get in. So try to avoid rescheduling so you can get that clearance. I also had to go through an extra exam with my heart specialist so that caused another delay. The sleep study was ok for me they woke me up throughout the night so that wasnt the best sleep. I have moderate apnea and I am on a full mask cpap. If you do have sleep apnea they will order a c pap machine before your surgery. Insurance pays for it but you have to use it or they will stop paying for it. Before I got mine my nurse told me you have to have the cpap machine before your surgery& also bring it with you for the hospital stay post op. I finally got my machine and it so very helpful. Like I stated in an earlier post. This is a process and at times it will go fast and then go slow but still in all it brings you closer to your surgery date. Just keep working on getting all your pre op finished and keep the smile on your face. Youre almost there. Happy face

      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.
