Hi Tamisu,

When I paid the sterling the value was approx EUR 4,000.00. I have sent them an email as their website is still advertising in sterling, also my sister was interested but this has now put her off.

Have you been given a diet to follow (pre op)?

See you on 22nd, I am staying at the Camponile

Hi Allison, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I just got back from a brilliant week in Iceland!

All I was told about diet was low-fat for the 2 weeks before surgery. I wrote yesterday to send them my flight info, try to get a schedule of what and when, and also to make sure they received my deposit. Haven't gotten a reply, yet.

I'm getting so excited, our turn will be here soon.-T

daqui,

I am so sorry to hear that you have to wait another 3 months. For me, the waiting was the hardest part of the process (although patience never has been my strongest virture :thumbup:). Good luck, stay strong....this will still be your year !!!!

I am ! I can't quite believe it yet...I've fought with the insurance company for 2-yrs to get approval and finally have gotten it.... my date is 1/29 and I can't wait !

muffie99,

That is WONDERFUL ....Congratulations!!! I too just received insurance company final approval, so my date is confirmed for the 30th, the day after yours ! My pre-surgical visit is the 19th, which is also the day I start the full Liquid Protein diet. The day I got the approval we booked a trip to Paris for my 50th birthday in late June.....so I have 5 months of incentive to do whatever it takes to be successful ....so much to be grateful for in 2009 :thumbup:

I am too sorry daqui for that you have to wait. Just keep your head up and it will soon be here before you know it. I will be praying for you.

I had my surgery on the 8th and I am doing fine. I don't think was a mistake at all. I just wish I could have done this sooner in life.

Good luck with everyone's up coming surgery's. My prayers are with each one of you.

      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?

      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.
