Mine is Feb. 23!!! Long time waiting for this

Congrats!! Prayers for continued success.

I figure no matter what u do in life people will be critical. Even if u lost weight on your own, there will always be someone negative or talking about you. So, yes, do what's best for u not them.

Actually, the surgeon cancelled my surgery 15 minutes before my surgery time. I had my IV started and the anesthesiologist saw me. The surgeon looked at my abdomen and saw a couple superficial scratches and said if he had to convert to an open procedure, one of them would be in the area and he didn't want to risk infection. I'm a nurse and I was in complete shock to cancel surgery because of a couple superficial scratches. I have never seen that before. So, I am switching surgeons and hoping to have the surgery in January or Feb. I was so bummed.

Did u have your surgery with Dr. July? I am looking to have my surgery done with her.

I can't believe my surgery is tomorrow. Went through a panic moment this afternoon but now I'm feeling better. The prep isn't very fun the day before surgery but like anything this too shall pass (literally)????. I pray for no complications! I will post again postoperative.

My surgery is Dec 3!!

My surgery is Dec 3 too!! The liquid diet is not fun!!! Guess I will be having Turkey broth and pumpkin spice protein shake for Thanksgiving.

Same thing happened yesterday to me. I got a call after breakfast and the bariatric clinic called and said they were moving my surgery up to Dec 4 from January 14. Day 1.5 of liquid diet. Thanksgiving will be tough but next Thanksgiving will be much better!!! Good luck everyone on your surgery.

They bumped up my surgery that was scheduled for January 14 to next week Dec 3! I am so excited but a little nervous too!!!

January 14th for me!!

It's finally set!! I feel like it is finally real!!

I got approved today for my surgery. Jan 14 is my date cuz the MD was booked until the end of the year. I have BCBS and it took 10 days for approval.

I agree. For me, I started out not telling anyone about my decision except for husband and kids. After awhile, I thought I don't give a crap what people think and they would find something else to judge me about. Now, I don't care it's my decision not theirs. I had a Dr. I work with say, that seems so extreme to have surgery for weight loss. Wow! I wonder how he advices his morbidly obese patients? Oh, just diet and exercise..( been there done that!!!)

Good luck on your journey!
