You all look fabulous!! I can't wait to have 'after' pics to post!! (10 day count down!) Post more pics!!

I am with Bes! Feb 20th for me too! Woooo hoooooo!!

Ahhhhh Israel! I am thinking the same thing! Lol! Yikes!

My surgery is on 02-20, 12 days to go!! I am on day 2 of the pre-op diet. Suddenly over the past couple days my brain has shifted gears. I am alllll about living healthy, eating right, and exercise! I think I could get used to this. I just wanted to say hello to all of the 100 plus'ers! I cannot wait to join you

I hope that you are recovering comfortably!

Oh man! Sorry to hear that my surgery was pushed back once. I was bummed, but luckily I had not started the diet yet. I hope time flys for you!

Congrats you two!!

Yay! That makes 3 of us that I know for sure are scheduled for 2-20

You are almost there! The only trouble I ran into is that my PCP lagged in getting the testing sent over, and so did the psych dr. It was all around the holidays so I wasn't too worried about it. But I did call and bug them until it was done. I also called Dr Muellers office once a week to follow up with Leti (she is now gone, so it is Monique) to confirm that she received the proper paperwork.... and I don't mind the questions

I have Aetna... they required 6 months of nutritionist visits. So, I saw Laura from Dr Mueller's office. Once I was done with that I met with Dr Mueller for consult and got all of the test requirements that I had to bring to my PCP, Xrays, and Phsych evaluation. The day the last of the required tests results were received by Dr Muellers office they sumitted for insurance approval. In less then 48 hours I was approved! The same day I was approved I got my surgery date!!!

M2G! I was thinking the same thing when I typed it out! lol! 3 shoooort weeks left!

Thanks Circa! I have come to terms with 02/20/2012 I can't wait to be relieved and happy too!

Yay Bes!! I was wondering who else has a 2/20 date! I am so excited

Thanks for the tips everyone I went ahead and ordered the BA brand products, mostly for convienience and it IS what the doctor 'ordered' I suppose... As time progresses I will find vitamins at my local store that I like to replace those. Thanks again

Congrats! Welcome to the 'approved' list I am soooooooo exctived for everyone getting sleeved in the upcoming weeks (including me!! Yay!!)... It is unbelieveable how supportive and informative this message board has been I can't wait to share before and after pics!!

Yay Bes!!! Having that approval in hand is a great feeling!! Congrats

Don't be sad Lilu! Our days are coming! Hopefully no more surprises...

Yay!!! Wishing you an easy recovery

Hello Nurse! My date got pushed back one week so my surgery date is 2/20... I start my preop diet on the 6th. I am beyond excited! Its all I think about You are welcomed to email me!

Thanks Ladies! I am coming to terms with it. Lol! An extra week to prepare I suppose... and my kids want to hang out at the hospital while I am 'under the knife' so they can now since it is a school holiday. Thanks again for your kind words. It is very appreciated! (<--- that's a real smile!)

My surgeons office 'requires' us to purchase the Bariatric Advantage protien mixes and vitamins for the pre-op diet. I am okay with buying the mix, but the vitamins are super expensive. Does it really make a difference what brand a multi-vit, calcium, and B12 are?

No more hunger headache?! Wow! That would be awesome!! Thanks for sharing

You are doing great! I can't wait to have numbers to post

Great news!!! Happy to hear you are feeling better

Thanks for the insight ladies! I am praying I have the same result as you all! For as long as I can remember food has been my hobby. I love all things food... I have been really good about changing that over the last year, but I still get the 'must have food now' syndrome at times. I just want to be on the "I eat to live" team, rather then the "I live to eat" team I appreciate allllll the support I get here. thanks again!
