You are not alone. Same is happening to me. Just got my letter of approval from the insurance and already have my pre op appointment coming up. And now Im sooo nervous... I know I want the surgery, I can't wait to have it. But Im nervous about the pain or if I wont be able to keep food down and become sick things like that. Congratulations on your approval. We will be fine and soon in the losers bench.

I'm also January 13th...How are you doing on your pre-op diet? I'm not doing too good but hanging in there...Hungry all the time...

I started mine two days ago. :-( I have not been doing too good...Im only supposed to have the shakes and I've been hungry. I've decided on my own to have two shakes and one meal. I'm still eating less than I used to so I'm hoping I lose some weight. The head hunger is no joke, It makes me wonder if I'll be successful after the operation. January 13 hurry up and get here, because I feel like I want to eat the world.

Mine should be toward the middle or end of January. I am scare about the pre op diet, and I've been having the "food funerals" eating everything in site twice...at the beginning it seemed so far away but January is just around the corner and hopefully we will all be ready for the summer with a couple of pounds less. Good Luck to all.

I've gained about 5 pounds since my 1st Nut visit. I had my 2nd visit yesterday and I was so afraid they would be talking about how I gained, and If I really want this I need to stick to the plan etc...But it was totally different actually. They didn't even mention the weight gain and concentrated more on new behaviors I should start. I have my 3rd visit in 3 weeks and I plan to lose those 7 pounds not for them but because I really need to stick to the plan. However until I get my approval Im making sure I stay at a BMI of at least 40. I don't want to take any chances with the insurance.

I have struggled with my weight for at least 5 years. Before it was easy to lose weight if I gained, but now it's so hard. I decided to have the surgery for health reasons but also there are so many things I miss doing and I can't wait to start doing them again. My post op bucket list. I can't wait to: 1. Go out dancing all night long (and not feel like im gonna die after one dance) 2. Wear high heels again. (I can wear them now but its hard on my feet 3. Have an active sex life again...Yes I want to set the ho free....lol 4. Buy sexy lingerie. 5. Run a marathon. ( I never did before but I want to do it now.) What are some of the things that you can't wait to do.

Same here it looks like mid or end of January for me. But the way I see it, is Ill get to enjoy the Christmas food, and Ill be ready b4 the summer. Don't worry, between appointments etc...time goes by pretty fast..I've been using this time to learn more about what to eat post surgery. Also trying out different protein shakes etc... Pretty soon we will be on the loosers bench.

Northwest suburbs here. Kane Center. Dr. Peter Rantis. I just had my psyc eval today. And I still have two more NUT appts..I figured I would be sleeved sometime in January 2014.

Just got back from my psyc eval. I was pretty nervous but it was so easy. I only had like 20 questions and then she asked me some other questions less than an hour and it was over. :-)

I also from the NW suburbs and same surgeon. I have to do a 3 month diet/nut visits. Most likely my surgery will be in January 2014. The staff at Kane Center are the best.
