My new date is July 22nd! My original date was May 18th but they canceled the day of my preop :(

I was provided that date two months prior and they flew by. Here I am waiting another two months and hoping it fly's by again! :)

My original date was May 12 and I got canceled the day before my pre op and 5hen rescheduled for May 30 but then they rescheduled because they didn’t think the governor was lifting the elective surgery before that and low and behold he did but it was to late for me so my third date seems to be staying July 7. My pre op is June 9 . I also hop it fly’s by because it feels like forever ago I started this. Fingers crossed. Lol

Scheduled for RNY on July 8th. Start my liquid diet on June 24th, which I'm dreading 😬 My birthday is July 3rd, so I'm slightly bummed about not being able to do my usual dinner and cake, but that's part of the journey. Makes me wonder where I'll be at for my birthday next year. I'm so nervous, but so excited at the same time!

Hey ya’ll!

So I haven’t gotten a date yet, but I do believe I’ll have one soon for July! I started w/ a new doctor this month (I’ve been through all steps necessary, with another doctor so my current surgeon isn’t requiring me to do anything else.). Luckily for me, my insurance doesn’t have any requirements for diet visits. Anyway, hoping to hear something soon. I speak to the doctors Monday & they mentioned after this appointment I will be submitted to insurance. Hoping it all works out! My 30th bday is in September & I’m ready to feel good!

My office submitted the papers for approval May 22nd. They told me the doctor already gave them a surgery date which is July 20th! So lets hope I'm approved!

I started the process the beginning of March, but then everything got put on hold. My endoscopy is currently scheduled for June 25 and I'm hoping to get my sleeve in July.

I go for my pre admission testing on Tuesday and it’s still so far away but I’m a bit nervous because I have like five herniated disc’s in my mid back and am having a lot of pain when I lay down. Dr has me on a steroid to try n help. Hopefully it does. I am probably looking at getting my back n neck fused some where down the line, we are trying for a mri before surgery because otherwise it will be six months at least before I could be allowed in one. I am a mess. This is what I get for being an emu in my 20s. Oh well I’ve got my fingers crossed that I make it to surgery.

      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.
