Same here... my surgery date is march 10th and my preop appointment is today at 11:15. I start my diet after that. I'm trying to view it as two weeks until surgery and then two weeks until pureed foods... it helps a little its nice to know there is someone else going through the same thing at the same time Good luck!

I have my preop appointment tomorrow, 2/24, and am supposed to start my diet... very nervous. I am making the choice now, I'm not going to cheat no matter what... I'm going to do everthing they tell me to. Here's to setting myself up for the best possible outcome. I've been planning for this surgery since last July and now that everything is in place its starting to feel real... very nervous but excited at the same time. Advice would be very welcome and calming

My surgery is going to March 10th as well ... Getting close

Do you have your surgery date yet? I just got my approval as well and my surgery is scheduled for March 10. I start my pre-op stuff this Monday

I got my approval today for March 10 I start my pre-op diet on Monday... not sure of Protein source yet. The office has food/ protien supplements that they prefer you purchase. I'll know more on Monday based on what they recommend

I just got my approval for March 10th!!! I started this whole process in July and I'm so glad that I am just a few weeks away from surgery. I'm very ready to get my new life started

I finally finished my six month weight loss requirement for my surgery. The doctor's office submitted my paper work this last thursday (2/6/14) to my insurance. Anyone know how long it might take to find out if I was approved? Am I supposed to wait until the doctor's office calls me or can I call my insurance to check my approval status? I am in Grand Rapids, MI, if that helps.

My sister became pregnant 7 months after surgery, she is currently 26weeks pregnant and her and baby are doing great

I have not had the surgery yet but my sister has...she said that feeling comes from too much acid in your stomach, her surgeon had her take a pepcid a day for the first three months and it really helped... Some people even have to take an antacid longer... Hope that helps

Thanks... its nice to know that there are other people on here at about the same stage as me. I did end up calling today to start my six month program so I should be starting soon

Thank you!

Hi I'm new here and am considering getting the sleeve done. My insurance requires the consecutive 6 month weight loss program before approval so if I do have it done it won't be until January ish.... Since i haven't started the 6 month program yet. I just wanted to make myself known since mainly I've just been reading other's posts to get more info. Any advice is welcome
