  1. I have anxiety issues as well and have found that the closer I have gotten to my date (tomorrow) the worse it is. Keeping me awale and coming on at unexpected times
  2. Good luck to my July 1 peeps tomorrow!
  3. Tomorrow is B day for me too! Lots of nerves right now and running around trying to tidy up, laundry, etc.
  4. Mine is Monday too! Ready to get this done and on to the next phase! Mine was scheduled for 230 but they called and moved it up to 1. I will keep you in my prayers and we will do awesome!
  5. Thank you! Just found out my surgery is scheduled for 230 PM So I was told I would very likely have to spend the night....yuck....but, whatever it takes.
  6. Thank you! Just found out my surgery is scheduled for 230 ON. So I was told I would very likely have to spend the night....yuck....but, whatever it takes.
  7. Thanks for the chicken broth tip! I do have a heating pad at the ready. And will pick up some Miralax.
  8. I have not had to do a pre OP diet. I know I am very fortunate. I am to just eat lightly the day before and nothing after midnight. I ordered a tub of Unjury Chocolate Splendor and some chicken broth. The person on the phone was super nice and left me pick a sample flavor to try as well. She also said she would include a sample of their Lapland vits., which made me excited as I wanted to try them but had already spent enough! I am having plication with my Lapland. I am going food shopping for jello, popsicles, waters, Gas X, skim milk, and creamy soups.
  9. I am an LPN in a step down/ rehab unit. My procedure is scheduled July 1. I have only told a few close Co workers. I am having a hernia repair also, so that is my excuse. I do very little lifting at work but have planned about 3 1/2 weeks off to be on the safe side and it is summer vacation for my kids so I am happy to spend a little xtra time with them while I recover.
  10. I am scheduled July 1. I very much understand the "hot mess" feeling! Right now my biggest issues is fear something will go wrong during the procedure.....
  11. Mine is July 1! I have grown more impatient as well....the sooner, the better! I am having plication as well. Are you?
  12. Hi Shelly. My surgery is July 1. We are on our way! Very excited and nervous. Mostly ready to start really living my life. Thankful my insurance covers it. Want to be a good example for my kiddos.
  13. I had to wait until my preop appoint. Then they scheduled it for about 2 weeks later.
  14. Thanks. Very happy to have support from this group. I made a list of things to purchase and tomorrow I in my paperwork to be off work. I have vacation time so am going to do 3 weeks....What's everyone else doing?
  15. I just got my date today...July 1! Ready to do this!
  16. Congratulations! I was just approved also! Pretty excited and nervous all at once. Preop appointment tomorrow. Should get a date then.
  17. So tomorrow is my preop appointment. Insurance thankfully approved me last Thursday after being submitted 4 data prior. I was thrilled with the promptness. I will get a surgery date tomorrow! This is really happening! I am so psyched! We are going to discuss adding plication as well tomorrow.
  18. I have Health America. I live in PA. This process just feels endless! I know it's a marathon, not a sprint, but I just want to get going with the rest if my life
  19. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery date!! Do you mind if I ask what insurance you have? That was a quite quick approval!
