Ikr, I'm so excited for you!!! I can't wait to get to that point.

Keep the faith it will pass. I finished mine in August. I'm counting down 15 more days.

Did you start your liquid diet yet?

No I have

I felt it was for the best. Granted, my insurance required I see the dietician once a month for the 6 months. In all honestly, this HELPED! I had 6 months to prepare for my new life. She gave me a goal each month to help me get used to the new way of eating. First month was to cut out sodas, OH GOD!! In all honestly, I don't think I would've been as successful had I not been required to wait the 6 months.

or have you already done everything else required by the clinic for the surgery?

No I have not done everything yet. My second monthly pcp visit, EKG, sleep study, and nicotine test is on 9/20/13( that's gonna be a very busy day . My pcp will have to send me out for the pulmonary function test, so that will most likely be sometime in October. After all of that the next thing I will have to do is meet with the surgeon, the nurse said that appt will be sometime in December.

Wow sassyTink you are so close and probably extremely anxious.

I scheduled my first pcp appt as soon as I got the phone call saying that my insurance covers the surgery, so far I've only done the monthly pcp check in, the psych evaluation, and met with the nurse and dietitian. I still have plenty to do like the EKG, pulmonary function test ect...but even those appt dates can't come quick enough.

My insurance is making me wait six months before I can get the surgery, and I am going crazy with excitement. It's only been a month so far...I think I'm becoming obsessed with the thought of having this surgery. I constantly read about it online, I can't help but tell the people I know that I'm in the process of getting the surgery, and I can't stop looking at before and after pics of people who had the surgery. I just need to calm down but idk how, and I know my family is getting tired of me talking about. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same way?
