Same date, same surgery. My nerves are going too lol Let's compare notes throughout our process, it may help. Dawnie_doo

My surgeon said 4-6 weeks off. I move around alot for my job...sometimes at my desk, but I drive to homes as well. I have lifting and driving restrictions. He said that, in addition to pain, I have to get used to eating new because I'm always moving and food isn't readily available. Dawnie_doo

I think I'm in denial lol I start on Monday 7/25. I have a few things, but didn't get the shakes yet. I'm sure we'll do fine! Keep me posted! ???? Dawnie_doo

My nutritionist said 70-90. Yikes! Lol Dawnie_doo

.

Surgery date is August 8 th!!! Wooooooo hooooo!!!!! Dawnie_doo

Update everyone!!! Surgery date is August 8 th!!! Wooooooo hooooo!!!!! Dawnie_doo

Yeah, I'm probably looking at late August, early September Smh maybe surgery for my birthday Smh Dawnie_doo

Did anyone else come upon their surgery date? How'd it go? Dawnie_doo

So, it seems like I may have to do my nutritional visits over again. The new bariatric program is much more strict regarding their testing and requirements...which is a good thing. However, all of this pushes me back even more! Smh Oh the wait!!!! Dawnie_doo

Lol true Keep me updated on your progress! Dawnie_doo

That's awesome! Wow! How's d the liquid diet going? Dawnie_doo

Sending prayers your way as well. Let me know how things go. Dawnie_doo

So I heard a tentative date of 7/28, pending insurance clearance. Prayers up! Dawnie_doo

Lol yup I'm gonna turn stalkerwith this new Dr very soon lol Dawnie_doo

I'm still waiting Smh next nutrition appt is 6/7. This insurance thing with the "center of excellence" set me back. I could've had a date by now. Smh I'm trying not to get frustrated. I've lost a couple more lbs. Everything else is good. Dawnie_doo

Good luck keep ia posted!! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Thanks brown. I am so happy for you and I will keep you posted. Keep me posted as well. I know your surgery date is approaching. Want to know how you are doing. How is your liquid diet going? I haven't even gotten a date yet but my doc put me on a liquid diet to lose these 19 lbs. It was 40 total but so far lost 21 since I had my initial consult. Whew I am so nervous. The wait is gonna kill me. LolHey Ginger the liquid diet is difficult im not gonna lie. I have to get the ivc filter june 1st that threw me for a loop since i did try to avoid it ao the stress was getting to me!! But i didnt give in . Im hungry but i want this and im taking it a day at a time. Btw the first few day i was very tired so just be prepared 4 that xo Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App What's an ivc filter? Dawnie_doo

Awesome! Please continue checking in. We definitely would love to know how things are progressing! Dawnie_doo

I completely agree Dawnie_doo

You could, but it really depends on your insurance. Dawnie_doo

Congrats! Yeah it's rough. I'm waiting for approval. I've lost 11 lbs so far. I'm cautious to lose more because I've heard people get denied. I have a few comorbidities. So I'm hoping and praying for the best! Dawnie_doo

Yeah, it's a "program fee" from the hospital Dawnie_doo

Update... Just left the Dr's office. They want to review my info from the first bariatric Dr and let me know what they can use and what tests/steps need to be repeated with the new bariatric Dr. The new Dr has a $600 fee that needs to be paid before surgery, which insurance doesn't cover. They are going to see if they can reduce it because I had everything done already. ???????????? ...and more waiting begins... Dawnie_doo
