The endoscopy is a breeze. You won't feel or remember a thing. Congratulations on your approval. I'm scheduled for the 16th!

Thanks...I was trying to determine if this would qualify during the clear liquids phase. Im trying to find something that is tasty yet helps me in meeting that Protein requirement. I've heard Isopure isn't all that great. Any thoughts?
-
Are the nectars clear liquids or are they similar to the shakes?
-
I'm planning to attend that one as well. Maybe we can meet up at the meeting.

Yes...I have several appointments coming up. Have you been to any of the support groups yet?

Cool...Dr. Gersin is performing mine. I'm the same way. I just got my date today and it was extremely difficult for me to focus at work today. Tell me again, which day is your surgery scheduled for?How many days have you been on it?I am having mine in Charlotte NC at CMC Mercy. My surgeon is Dr. Keith Gersin.Scheduled for 09/16 here!I'm 09/16 as well! Woot-woot!I wear a girdle every day and I'm definitely ready for that to be over! I feel you on that!Hi! I'm in Charlotte as well. Who's performing your surgery?I was reading in this forum and noticed that we both have BCBSNC. Did you have to do a 6 month monitored program prior to approval?Thanks everyone for responding. Were any of you working out prior to having the surgery? I currently work out 3-4 times a week (I just can't seem to drop the weight) so...I'm wondering if this would help as well. Any advice would be great!Hello everyone! I'm in the VERY beginning stages of this process; however I have tons of questions about excess skin after the surgery. I've seen pictures of several people that look as if they don't have any excess skin...then on the flip side I've seen pictures of people that tons of excess skin and have to contemplate plastic surgery. Please share your experiences and thoughts!Hi Sleevers! Anyone have reviews on Dr. Bauman at Carolina Weight Management? Thanks in advance!CorvetteGirl That doesn't seem too bad. I'm sure it'll be an adjustment but you can do it! Thanks for answering my questions! Good luck with everything!CorvetteGirl Are you expected to do a 2 week liquid diet prior to the procedure?
