How exciting! Have you started your liquid diet yet?

Can you sleep at night?

I keep waking up thinking about the future and being able to buy clothes in regular stores!

Heck I can't wait to fit in sizes at COSTCO..lol

I can't wait to hear how your doing!!

hi Diane! No I am not required to do the liquid fast. I am though required to walk 30 minutes a day until surgery day and then when I am able to get around good after surgery I will start back. I have been on my own trying Protein Drinks and different broths(low sodium). I know that Protein is a must and fats then complex carbohydrates. I am going to stick with the nutritionist suggestion she is great! I am so nervous and excited. I am finally on my way. We don't have a costco here but man oh man do I want to fit in a pair of jeans from the gap!! LOL

I was just approved on 8/19 and Dr. V is my doctor too. I don't have a date yet but soon. Have you started your liquid diet yet? Are you nervous? Good Luck on your upcoming surgery. See you on the other side. Chao

How long did the whole process take i went to the seminar 8-22 and i have my first appt with Dr. Sept 1 and i dont know what happens from there, Can anyone tell me how long is the process, I also have United and live in Tx.so i hope im approved.

My entire process took about 3 months. Make sure you have at least 2 years of medical documentation about being overweight. This can be by your gynecologist, PCP, or any specialist that you are seeing for a medical condition. I have found that after the Dr. consultation, psychology exam, and the nutritionalist visit the rest of this process is entirely up to your health care provider.
