Good luck to everyone for tomorrow! I'll be thinking and praying for you all! Liquid diet is killing me!

So glad today is better! Onto a new you!

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow's surgeries! We're pulling for you!

Wishing everyone luck this week! I'll be thinking about you all and praying! You guys got this! Here's to a new you!

I work in surgery as a surgical technician, I'm scheduled December 17, I'm not worried about the catheter they usually put that in when your asleep before the surgery, now the surgery I'm freaked out about, I don't get to see the results of the successful surgeries, but see the results of patients having to come back with problems, not that that happens often but it does happen. I just filled a script for Ativan for the day before and day of! I think it has a lot to do with the fear of the unknown and recovery, scared of failing, etc.

Welcome, I too have a date of December 17! Had pre-op appointment today, yikes start liquid diet on December 3, do you have to do that?

Mine had all those numbers code things too!

I'm in Spokane!

I wouldn't see why not!

What kind of business? What did you think and where are you from?

Anyone having blood sugar lows on liquid diet, I'm worried about this I'm on an insulin pump! I can decrease dosage but that takes time to work all the bugs out! I go on liquid for 2 weeks pre-op

It's going to be OK, just keep telling yourself WHY you are doing this!

Please add me to Facebook page, Alecia manning-Beckham, thank you!

Yes! We are! Glad to have a buddy!

Mine took 1 week, praying for a quick decision for you! I also had a 6 mo insurance requirement! Finished last week, got my official date today!

Realities hit home, got an official date December 17!

I got approved today too!!!

I too have all the " freak out" emotions you guys are having here's my problem! I work in the operating room, have assisted on countless bypass surgeries. So this should be a no brainer for me! But I'm with everything you all are saying! Some very good ideas I will be trying, thank you for the fabulous ideas, wishing all of you success and a speedy recovery!

Finally finished my 6 month supervised visits and submitted to insurance!

December 17, Spokane, WA

Soda, was almost a game changer for me! Now its gum, but I've made a deal and can have half pieces, being a habitual gum chewer at work would do me in! Big changes! New beginnings!
