    6month diet

    My insurance also required a waiting period of 4 months seeing a dietician. I completed everything, had a surgery date for June 8. I was all ready, losing @ 40 lbs just in the getting ready stage. Then 4 days before my date, my back went out and had to postpone. Still in bed because of back pain, but staying on the pre-op diet during this time and have even lost a few pound a doing no exercise. I am rescheduled for August 10 and praying this back issue goes away before then. I understand your depression and frustration! I cried most of the June 8 day. But have tried to refocus and now have a new date to anticipate.

    Surgery date - finally

    Looks like I'll be an August sleeved. Back is probably going to require minor surgery and have to have that done first so I can walk and sit again comfortably. Continued good luck to all of you.

    Surgery date - finally

    Thanks so much. Sylvia, the coordinator called me back finally as well as a nurse from Dr. Nick's office. Lisa had already stared things in motion, which is great, but wish she had let me know. Appreciate the extra numbers though! I have to wait 3 weeks because of the steroid injection, but can call Lisa Monday to set the date!

    Good for you and good to know about the head hungry part. I was contacted by a couple of people from Dr. Nick's office and found out he had to approve the surgery because of the cortisonal steroid injection. I have to wait at least 3 weeks for the steroid to be completely out of my system, but I can call Monday to schedule it! I feel back on track now. Really glad I didn't have to worry all weekend.

    I'm getting there. Much better today. Having trouble getting a call back from Dr. Nick's scheduler to reset surgery.

    Thanks, Mel77 for asking. I had a steroid injection in my back yesterday and am getting better. Have to stay quiet at least throu the weekend. Will start physical therapy next week, but that's for the better. I have called Dr. Nick's scheduler twice and have not gotten an answer yet. Staying on the pre-op diet so I can be ready. Glad you are doing so well!

    Good luck to all of you that had your surgery! Unfortunately I had to postpone mine. My back went out on Wed. night and can't walk, etc. very well and will have an injection Thursday. Hope I can get rescheduled in 2-3 weeks. This has been a very hard, depressing day. The forum is motivational when I read all of your victories.

    Tomorrow is the big day!

    Glad all went well. We can do this!

    June 15 Surgery

    It is really not as hard as you think. I've been drinking a shake for breakfast and a bar for morning snack. Same for afternoon. Lots of liquids. Save meals for dinner time sugar free Popsicles help as well. Losing a pound or two a day with this regimen
