Surgery date!!!

Guess What everyone, i just went to my first dietician meeting on monday, and i have a surgery date for the 20th. Is anyone else on that date too, i have 3 more pounds to lose, because i just found out on monday after two months of not knowing that i have to lose 2% of my body weight... requirement of my insurance. Now wouldn't it have been smart of the surgeon to tell me that at the first consult.. Thank God i didn't really go on a binge eating frantic, or get that Last Supper Syndrome (even tho i think i kinda did, but i still lost 4lbs off of it)... everything is being rushed now, i have to do labs and go see my pcp who's an hour away, and see the surgeon for the pre-op 3days before the surgery... Thank God i don't have to do the 2 weeks pre-op diet.. My surgeon is not that strict.. Its finally here.. I'm excited and scared and i truely HATE the feeling of being rushed, im on a diet right now, and i finally signed up for a gym to get them extra pounds off now. i have to prepare my mind mentally for the surgery, im just so happy that i still got to get this surgery done before i go back to school, exactly 10 days before i have to go back. My aunt said i am going to be a monster after the weight falls off, cuz i am already conceited. And i think its true. I'm spoiled, conceited and i throw fits from time to time, but i am also caring, generous, and an all out loving person. so i still think i will still be me no matter what... Thank you guys for your advice on here, it really helped pull me through. OMG I'm just so excited i can't stop writing. My new birthday is coming soon and i can't wait!

Yeah, usually there is a weightloss requirement that they tell you about late in the game. Even though you're not required to do the pre-op, it might be a good idea. I lost 17 pounds on it in 1 and a half week. Good luck. I'm happy for you.

I'm going to be banded on the 10th! :) I'm SO pumped!!! I had to go through a 6 month program through my insurance, so that it will be completely paid for. Anyway, I started that back in early February...and started looking for a Dr. back in January. I am SO excited that the day is finally coming soon!! Less than a week... YAY!

Congrats Jennay.... hope everything goes well with your surgery, and hit me back up to let me know how it went!

Thanks Jmunks. I am on a low carb, high protein diet. with extensive exercise regimen. So hopefully that will help drop a good amount of weight in the next two weeks.
