Surgery was today at noon. All went well and very little pain. Main thing is very thirsty and not allowed to drink until tomorrow. Going to try and get some sleep now between the 11 pm and 4 am rounds.

One more day! It's early afternoon and I'm starving on clear liquids. Don't check in at hospital until 10 AM tomorrow. It's going to be a long day!

My pre op is going generally better than expected. I had to do one week liquids. About everything other day I go through an hour or so (usually early evening) when I want to eat so bad I can hardly stand it. Then I drink more water. Sometime I have cup of broth for something hot and a different taste. A little worried about clear liquids on Sunday and I don't report to hospital on Monday until 10 AM for noon surgery.

Hi. I'm next Monday December 15. Sitting here tonight hungry for food and wondering should I do this. Just jitters I think. I have lost and gained big amount of weight for years and am counting on this to give the the tool that will help me conquer this once and for all.

This happened to me too last month. I called the insurance company and told them I had not gone through six months of classes for nothing. My BMI is 40 and I have metabolic syndrome. They said my Dr. could request a "peer review" by making an appointment to talk to the medical dr. with the insurance company. That was set up for the next week and after the call I was approved! Surgery next Monday! Don't give up!
