I should have my date as of my visit with the surgeon on 4/25. My case was to go to the surgical committee this month for approval (I'm self pay). I was 4 pounds from goal during my 3/22 visit.

I am hoping for a mid- to late May date.

Still waiting on my journey to shift into gear on April 25th , yeah an important date in history isn't it? Think good thoughts for me and I'll do the same for you.

Fingers crossed! My insurance company (GEHA) took a month to approve me. But my sister-in-law only took 2 weeks (Aetna).

Desert Girl good luck getting into,the liquid diet groove, there are many on here who say it's one of the hardest parts to the whole process. I take that to mean---if you can do this, you can do anything. I always read all the postings about it, figure the more I read the better I'll handle,it when it's my time.🍶☕. Maybe next month, that's what I'm hoping for 😛

Thanks! I've done very well. Day 1 was fine. 2 was hard. 3 was better. 4 was brutal. Everything got easy for me on day 9 when the hunger pain went away. Of course, I'm hungry. But not like before and I don't feel the pain of it. I'm now on day 13 of 14. So close!!

I just had my information sent to insurance. I should find out if I am approved and have a date soon. I am excited!

[DesertGirl 14]

Surgery was yesterday at 8:30 a.m. Fixed my hernia as well. I was up and walking and going pee by 6 last night. Feeling really good today. The nurses are wonderful. Getting discharged now. Should be leaving in an hour or so. I totally understand why it is so hard to from 1 ounce every 15 minutes. That's a challenge. But I can do it!

I just had my last weigh in today!! They said I should get my insurance approval within a week. My possible surgery dates are 5/30, 6/6, or 6/13 .... of course I am hoping to get 5/30, but depends how many get approved before me and if there is still room on that date. SO CLOSE!
