December 4, woo hoo

What fb group are you on?

I would love to keep in touch with all of you ????December 4th surgery

It's not unreasonable at all to want to decide who you tell and who you don't. I've purposefully not told certain people too. But on the other hand, I do understand a little why a spouse would want to tell a few people, because your spouse will need support too! This will be a very big life change for both of you. Your wife probably has some fears about your surgery, the risks, how it will change your lifestyle together, how you might change as a person, etc. So, she likely needs people she can talk to about all that. Because of this, I haven't put any restrictions on my husband as to who he can tell, I just asked that he be respectful, treat this as he would any other medical condition, and only tell others on a "need to know" basis.

Well said !????

Isn't it a great feeling? I wish we were in the same hospital. We could take our walks together. lol

Me too! That would have me great. Funny how we were talking about having the same date, and we do ????

Doew anyone know how long it takess after you submit ?Anyone

I was approved in about 3 weeks. It depends on ins. And Dr. Office as to how fast they get your paperwork in. Hope that helps ????

I got my date today. December 4

woo-hoo girl friend we have the same date. Awesome! ????

I have 4 children. My oldest is a girl she new and so does her husband. My son 21 new also because he's in college and living home. My husband did not want me to tell many ppl. I just told my other 2 boys this pass weekend and their wives. So with that said I have come to a place in the past 5 months that I really don't care what ppl think. As my daughter would say at the end of the day you have to be happy. Surgery December 4th

I love to have parties. It was always my plan that i was going to throw a "Last Supper" potluck where everybody would bring their favorite guilty pleasure. Then, !!AllOfASudden" my surgical coordinator put me on a liquid diet. There was no warning at all. I contemplated waiting a day or two before I started so I could have a few of my favorite meals, but I decided that it was time to stop messing around with food. I went out and got what I needed for this. She told me I'd be on it until the surgery so that is that. I am pretty glad I made that decision. I do look back every once in a while, but I have to do this. I am 61, and it is my last chance.

I feel the same as you do. I am 56 and I feel it's now or never. My surgery is Dec.4th

The only difference is I do not have to be on a liquid diet. Only clear liquid the day before. We can do this ????

It will be fine. I just had surgery Monday the 6th

How are you doing ? I hope all is well with you after your surgery.

I was approved last week. Things have moved fast. Pre-op on the 26th of November. Dec. 4 surgery. ..excited???? gastric bypass

I am having Gastric bypass...maybe the sleeve is different.

Dec. 4????

I only have clear liquids the day before. Dec. 4 surgery ????

I really don't know why some surgeons require 2 weeks liquid and some don't. I only have the day before my surgery clear liquid.

I am 56 turning 57 on Jan 1... my surgery is in 2 weeks and 3 days ????

@0weemytoe that great. we will all have to keep in touch ????

Day 1 and day 2. Not pretty. Not gonna lie. Walking is ok but getting up from bed is unbearable.

Hurts to drink anything burns really bad going down. Gas must be in there because my back and shoulder blades could use a massage.

The IV morphine did the trick but day 2 I have to try to drink more and not be nauseas.

Wish me luck

Hope you feel better soon????

@@oweemytoe,

Thanks, what is your surgery date?

I have my date December 4th...excited! Just in time for the New Year and a great new beginning ????

I started my journey in Aug. I was approved 2 days ago. Looks like my surgery will be 1st week in December. Everyone's Ins. Is so different. I have BcBs Il. My paper work was sent in on Oct. 13 and Nov. 5th I was approved. I am excited and nervous at the same time. My Dr. Said that was normal. It will be fine! So about 4 months. ????

Premier Protein shakes (Costco and elsewhere) taste better then muscle milk in my opinion.

My surgery is Oct 28th and I have been trying them all.

costco just opened up in my area. Looks like my surgery will be the first week in December. I'm going to start this weekend getting everything I need on my checklist. Thanks for the information about the shakes at Costco.

Just made it home , so excited to be home not in as much pain as before the shower felt amazing that alone decreased my pain

so glad to hear all went well ????

Thanks everyone! Y'all have been so kind and it really helps to have ppl to vent too.????

Should get a call in about 3 days to schedule surgery. Looks like 1st week Dec. Excited & Nervous

I feel the same! Was approved yesterday went in today and signed papers. ????

I was approved yesterday, going to the Dr. Today to schedule surgery. ???? nervous also excited...all the above.
