Congrats! Do well and don't look back. What a wonderful year ahead of you. I am waiting for my date for surgery and away the weight will go.

We will be surgery sisters. The days will hopefully fly by. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that insurance will approve you

Thanks for the respnses, actually got a little teary eyes. I am so glad that I found this site and that there are people out there who understand what I am going through and how emotional just waiting for insurance approval can be.

I guess a lot of people don't understand what it feels like to be hopeless and feel as though you are trapped inside something, fighting to get out.

I need this, and I hope all goes well.

Okay, I must be delirious with happiness because I SWORE I posted this just a few minutes ago...I'm penciled in for surgery on the 12th but she said based on how my surgeon's schedule looks this week, they'll likely have to do it on the 19th. I'm going to plan it for that and if they do it sooner, GREAT!!!! My insurance has mostly approved me. They said they're just waiting to make sure the hospital is in network. That's plain crazy because my insurance is through that hospital....SO it looks like I'm finally in!!! I'm so happy I could scream.

Oh dear God! There are two threads for the 19th...I seriously thought I was going crazy. Hmm, mystery solved!

pearlygirl · February 24, 2008

Are you guys just crazy excited or what? I'm damn near obsessed! I ordered a bunch of Protein shakes/puddings from New Lifestyle and am getting ready for my liquid diet. I'll be doing it for 10 days. Do you guys have to do the liquid diet as well? For how long?

Two weeks prior to march 19th I have to be on a liquid diet. I have to stop all medications also. I had to stop my birthcontol 3 weeks prior. I am going to a pre-surgical class on the 6th of march for 4 hours. Right now I am on a high Protein low carb diet and hitting the gym everyday. Just want to get a jumpstart. Good luck everyone
