April 17th!!!!

April 17th!!!

Hang in there!

I'm Lisa from Romeoville, IL which is about 40 miles southwest of Chicago. I'm 38 years old My daughters are 10 and 5 years old. I was married to my husband for 12 years, we got divorced last year but we are getting remarried to each other this June in Las Vegas (long story). My surgery is set for Apr 17th. I sign my consent form tomorrow and start my pre-op diet Apr 3. I'm 235 hoping to ultimately get to my college freshman weight of 150, I will be ecstatic to get to my pre-married weight of 185. Looking forward to surgery and glad to have this support forum.

Im April 17th too! Good luck!

I'm rooting for you!!

Did they say why?

Bcbsil approved me within a week. Nurse told me it would be at least 2-3 weeks so I was pleasantly surprised.

My last weigh in for the 6 month supervised diet was 2/29 and BCBS of IL approved me 3/4. The nurse told me it would take 2-3 weeks it was much faster than that.

I'll have to ask my dr about egg drop soup. I am also not allowed fruits. And only 1/2 cup of veggies a day on pre-op.

How is the 750 calories going? I'll be doing that starting apr 3. Good luck!

I know didn't have to but I feel such relief in case I keel over from the pre-op diet. I'm taking a week vacation so if for some reason I needed more time he may be more understanding. He was nice about it and surprised our insurance covers it. Who knows maybe he will look into it too and we can bond over it.

So I'm getting surgery done on April 17th. Ever since I went to the educational class to learn the ropes of what to expect pre-op and post-op, I've been depressed. I want this surgery but now I'm an emotional basket case. Help please!

I'm April 17th!
