Good Luck to you too. I'm still able to eat meat/dinner for two more day. Then Monday the all liquid diet starts.

Feeling really good today. I was able to walk a couple of block, do my work and walk back without sitting and no pain. It's amazing how losing 25lb makes a difference on my back. Only 165lb to go. Wishing my surgery was this Monday.

Couple of years ago i was looking to have bypass surgery and they want 5,000 just for the 6 months diet program, didn't do it. Now I just have a bunch of copay, total right now is $260.00.

Had a other good day. The pre-op diet is good not hungry any more. Was able to walk two block in NYC without pain which is great for me. My husband is finally on board with the surgery. Life is good. : )

Good Luck on your Surgery!

I have 10 more days, been on the preop diet for two and half weeks. Lost about 20lb maybe more, put the scale away and will not take it out again. Next weight will be at the hospital. I feel really good today. I think my body is ready for surgery and starting a new life. I have already notice that I'm able to walk further now. My boss is sending me into NYC this morning which mean i have a lot of walking to do. This weekend, i'm also going to gym to start my workout routine. Getting really excite about the 12th.

My date is May 12th, been on the preop diet for two weeks now. I put the scale away, it was driving me crazy. Saw the doctor yesterday, she was happy with my weight loss. She also told me that I will be out of work for at least four weeks because of the type of job i have, so i applied for short term disability. All is good. Actually i feel pretty good today.

Two more weekends. May 12th is coming up very quickly. Wishing I had a local support group i can go to before surgery but there's nothing out there, only after my surgery.

I have to use a Capp but having problem not being able to sleep, it's very hard for me to breath. If I do fell a sleep I wake up choking. How long does it take to get use to the pressure? Mine is set at 12.

I can't believe I got bronchitis and my right lung has infection. My doctor put me on a strong antibiotic and steroid. Hopefully I'll feel better before pre-op appt. on April 28.

Hi Susan - I'm a May 12-er also. Good luck, from Dallas area. Just had a pre-surgery pulmonary appointment. That spawned two more appointments....*sigh*....1 - A sleep study and 2 - some further breathing testing. At least with all of the pre-op checks I feel like I will have been evaluated well prior to heading into surgery. I have only one more test and that is the pre-surgical testing on April 28. I did the sleep study and pulmonary doctor is forcing me to use his CPAP machine, if i don't he won't give approval for the surgery. I wish it was May 12th already.

I'm on Long Island, Plainview, NY.

Hello, my surgery date is May 12. Just waiting on insurance approval.
