January 2nd Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App That is my birthday so it is a fantastic date Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

So excited to have my surgery scheduled for January. Got to admit scared too. Received an email with my preop diet and feeling intimidated. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Can anyone give me their opinions on Dr Merriman, Dr Thomas, Dr Bellanger, and Dr Hargroder? I would so appreciate it. I am in a weight loss study and can only choose from these doctors.

Hate to say but I had stomach issues the entire two weeks.

With six kids you need lots of prayer regardless of liquid dieting. The first few days are the hardest. You can do it!

I am so anxious to do this. The waiting is driving me absolutely nuts.

Wow! I'm ready for my approval. I can't wait to get started. I am ready too. I am hoping I get the sleeve. If they call and say bypass I am going to be even more nervous than I already am. It has to be soon because you got off your liquid diet a month ago. I have to say it is nice to have someone waiting with me.

Congratulations!

Hopefully they get the agenda date soon. I am just anxious to hear something. Have you kept off the liquid diet weight? I have been eating so bad so I know I have gained weight but don't want to get on the scale.

I was looking into Dr Merriman since he is closer.

I just had my two week appt on the first. What doctor do you expect to get? Also what surgery are you wanting? The bypass makes me very nervous.

Fourteen pounds is amazing. I feel bad about myself now. I didn't mind the shakes too much. I started at 247 so my eight pounds is nothing in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't mind continuing the shakes to get my weight down even further.

I will definitely keep you updated. I would think we would hopefully be hearing the same time. So how much did you lose? I lost eight pounds and I was disappointed.

Hey, everyone. Hoping y'all are still around. I am a Heads Up program participate and could use some advice on what to expect. I just finished my two week liquid diet before the doctors approve me for surgery. Got my chest xray so just playing the waiting game.

I am the exact opposite. I am kinda worried tomorrow when I can start eating real food. Not sure I am wanting to give up liquids. I have lost weight and it feels great!
