Finally got my surgery date...October 12th! So ready for this!!

I'm Oct 12 too.. yay

Well my pre-op diet starts tomorrow. I had a 2 hour session with the nutritionist and my doctor's nurse in which they went over in great detail the pre-op and post-op requirements. I am really trying to stay positive about the next two weeks. Bottom line, if my Dr goes in and my liver is too fatty, he won't perform the surgery. I don't want to come all this way to just be turned away on the operating table. Operation pre-op is in full effect!

My surgeon said the exact same thing. Who is your surgeon

I'm super excited. Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. 2 weeks from today. I'll get nervous as it gets closer. We can do this!

How long did it take the doctors office to give you a surgery date after you were approved? I am still waiting on a date and was approved last Thursday!

I was given the date the same day they sent my stuff to insurance. Still waiting for insurance approval but my date is Oct. 17th.

I called my insurance and found out I was approved on a Friday. I then called and emailed my doctor's office over the course of the following week and finally got a reply after emailing the doctor himself. The surgery date was given to me the following Monday. So 9 days later.

Yes started pre-op diet yesterday, consists of three shakes a day. 250 calories of low-glycemic vegetables and that is all!
