My date is September 23rd! Already on my diet and looking forward to this time next week when it will be finished.

I started mine on August 30th, and I'm having surgery, September 23! I was told overseas that I just need to have two qualifying conditions (mine are, depression and High Blood Pressure) to be able to do it without Nutrition training and Psych Evaluation. I did however go to the HAWC overseas before we moved back to the U.S. two months ago and they used that as doing the nutrition/work out portion. It is a long process to finally GET the referral but once you have it, it's like gold and it will get you in as soon as you're ready for it!

I am on mine now, I was told it depends on your BMI, 40+ they want you to go on a liquid diet. I'm on Nutri-care bars, shakes and soup. Not too bad but really need it every two hours like I was told. My surgery is Friday the 23rd.
