So they told me I was supposed to start my preop on Sat, so my girl friends have planned this big girls night out. Then today they tell me I need to start tomorrow. So I'm gonna try and be really good, and then go out and have a couple and I mean I couple I'm not a huge drinker. And hit the preop hard Sat morning....

I've found I'm too busy to over think anything.....just breath. I am so ready to start my new life, we are getting done on the same day

I think I had a day of nerves, now I am pretty calm, last preop appt with dr tomorrow, and i start my preop diet on Saturday.

I'm North of the City like an hour or so, thankfully my insurance didn;t require a 6 months supervised diet, I am getting sleeved on 6/9 in Woodstock. Just follow the dr's instructions and you should be fine

Our Nut wants us to eat 6 times a day even if it is just 2 or 3 bites. she wants us to be on a schedule.

I tell everyone, I am not at all shy about it. As far as my pre op diet, I have to start on 5/31 10 days of 5 shakes made with skim milk and Carnation no sugar added Breakfast drinks, I can have sugar free Jello, and popsicles, broth, and also 200-300 calories of fruits and veggies, they gave me a list with serving sizes and calories. He seems to be more light on the diet than some docs.

Reading stories like yours make me glad that i made this decision, I am 36 and 2 weeks out, I start my pre op on Saturday, and I cannot wait, I understand what you were saying about still being active, even at my weight i do 5k's mud runs, a 10 k and am training for a 1/2 marathon in sept. some day I have a goal to do this race in Chicago called the Hustle up the Hancock. I am so ready to start my new life.

I'm in for June 9th and i start my pre op next saturday. I have been trying hard to avoid the food funerals, I have a long way to go. i'm 5'11 and i weigh 347.

It is at the Centegra Weightloss Center in Huntley

my doctor has in our workbook that we can take flinstones or bugs bunny chewable, and sublingual B12

I really like the ones at my dr office, but I am not sure you can go there without being a patient

well on top of that great news right after i heard that i had to go the ER my dad had an accident today, with a saw, he lost a finger and tore another up badly......I'm trying really hard not to stress eat......

So i got my official letter on Saturday, and i sent it over to the dr's office so that they could confirm my June 9th date, they emailed me to confirm, and then she emails me and asks if I am getting a sleeve or a lap band. I tell her the sleeve that is what the dr and i decided on. apparently the insurance girl at the office didn't get informed that the dr and i had decided against the band, and she submitted for the band instead of the sleeve, now I have to hope and pray that the insurance approves my sleeve soon or I am going to lose my date.

When I had the pain before they removed mine, I had chest pain that went through to my back, the surgeon said it's common in women

I'm just ready to get on with it...ya know

Wow, I hope I'm approved as quickly as you. If you don't mind me asking do you have bcbs ? No I have UHC

My doctors office makes us go to 2 classes pre-op where they explain the diet and everything in more detail

I'm 36, but I am getting my surgery the same day as you, I only have to do a 10 day pre-op though I have my 2 pre-op classes the next 2 thursdays. i am so ready for this

They sent to my.insurance on 5/2 I was approved Friday. The only reason it's the 9th is that I have to take my pre-op classes

I am in Northern Illinois, in Harvard, My Dr is Heydari his office is in Crystal lake. Are you from IL?

I'm in Illinois, I am excited and nervous, but I am so confident in my surgeon. he has a very low complication rate and in all the years he's been doing bariatic surgery, he has never lost a patient, and only had 1 with a pulmonary embolism.

At first I was worried about what people would say, but I can honestly say, I have not had one person who has been negative about it, mostly because I have been able to answer all of their questions confidently, because I have done the research. everyone has been happy for me, and vey supportive

Where are you we can be buddies

i am going June 9 too, unless they get me in earlier. One thing I don't have to worry about is my work, my boss, is so happy for me she has been onboard right from the start
