Hard to believe, but my surgery has been scheduled for Monday, May 5. Guess I'll be drinking liquids on Mother's Day. That's OK, though. I am glad that my insurance company approved me. My doctor is Carlos Ferrari, in Houston. His office told me that I am to just watch what I eat between now & then so I don't gain any weight. No special diet for the day before surgery--just to eat a light dinner no later than 6:00pm and no liquids after midnight. WOW! Reality is starting to hit!:crying:

Thanks! I hope you hear back from your insurance company soon. I am amazed at how quickly this has come about--I saw the surgeon a month ago, was approved by insurance 3 weeks later and now the date is set. Wow!

Hey! I just got my surgery date scheduled today too, and it's also set for May 5th. Surgeon also said that I don't have to do the pre-op diet. I'm very excited. I won't argue with that. Good luck to you!
