  1. Ok I have a question for yall. I started my journey back in sept. Had a meeting with a nutritionist, a phys eval, a physical therapist, then I had my mandatory 90 day wait with weight checkups. Dec they sent the info to the insurance, month later got approved, got call with the date (Feb 4th), got another call for a phone pre-op class (next week), surgery is the following week. They mailed me a packet yesterday that had info in it for after the surgery. My question is this. Where you all told to do a pre diet?? There is nothing in my packet about this. Just the usual stuff about only liquids the day before , nothing after midnight. Start taking a stool softener a couple days ahead of time. What exactly is your prediet? Thanks
  2. @@KatieD6982 I would love to have the full bypass. Everything was going good for it till my doc saw that I had once had kidney stones. And didn't think it would be a good idea since that is a complication. She told me that in her experience that the sleeve and full bypass results in the same amount of weight loss. (I hope she is right) I didn't want to argue since things were going so smoothly.
  3. I know for me, my preop is a week before my surgery date. It is an over the phone thing. What mine are requesting is a current EKG, and current blood work. I just got my lab request in the mail today.
  4. HI, I am scheduled for Feb. 4th! I am so excited. Just got my pre-op package in the mail today. I started this process 5 months ago and I am so ready.
  5. I have mine scheduled for the 4th. My pre-op class is on the 27th when I get to find out about what i need to be doing. Little scared since I haven't seen my doctor in over a month.
