It may depend on the amount of weight loss before surgery. I was fully expecting to have to do a liquid diet. I loss 15lbs more than I was required to so he said no liquid diet needed.

Freedom of speech is a right for everyone. She had a right to say it and those who disagree have a right to respond. There was no need to put in a dig calling another person's faith a fairy tale. It was unnecessary and had nothing to do with the OP original question.

Got my date!!! March 27th is my day!

We're surgery twins [emoji38]

Got my date! March 27th is the date!!!

Got my surgery date! March 27th is the date! I am soooo EXCITED!!!

Crossing my fingers for you!

I thought about doing this but my surgeon flat out stated that of I was even 1pound above my goal weight the day of surgery, he will cancel it. I'm not taking any chances. My only suggestion would be to be smart about. Keep the treat to one meal, like if you want Wild Wings have it for lunch but keep the rest of your meals healthy. Do that for every treat until you get it out of your system.

I was just approved yesterday and I'm still waiting on the date. I am ho g for March but they only have one available date left so it may be April. Hoping to hear back any day now.

I emailed my surgeon on Friday and dropped by yesterday. The surgeon emailed me yesterday to tell me I was approved and I just have to wait for a date. I will be calling the coordinator tomorrow to check in.

YES! Just got my approval for surgery from the surgeon. Now I wait for the date.

@bekah7482 My psych eval was scheduled about a month out. I went in on January 6th to get officially weighes and to turn in my test. My psych eval was Feb 9th. They are short a psychologist and are subbing one from Union City. I just had my eval Thursday. I am hoping to have a date this week.

Congrats!

I have completed all the steps and have lost 55lbs and I am just waiting for approval from my surgeon. I know they schedule the surgeries about a month out and there are only two days left for March. I am trying to be patient but IM SO READY! Okay...just needed to vent a little.

Getting my shopping list together. I already have a few cartons of premier protein shakes. I plan on getting my broths, cream soups, sf jello and protein water soon. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I believe my surgery will be in March as well. I have completed my last step and now I'm just waiting to hear back from the surgeon! So excited! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I think it depends on your BMI, Current weight and health status. I've heard that a high BMI will result in a two week liquid diet. I'm preparing myself for that.

I believe my date will be in March just waiting for confirmation. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I had my psych eval yesterday! It went well and was not bad at all. Now just waiting to hear back from the surgeon! Now the fear is starting to set in. I've never had any type of surgery and I am nervous about afterwards but I am so ready to do this! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

@@audaciousmarie Thank you! I could not believe the number on the scale. My scale battery died Tuesday so I was going in blind and completely paranoid. I'm glad it all worked out. You got this! I hope you are right with me.

Had my official weigh in today...I made it! I have exceeded the weight loss I needed for surgery. My appt for my psych eval I about a month from now. I hope that I can have my surgery in Feb. Crossing my fingers. I'm so close!

Congratulations!!

Thank you! It was a struggle after my vacation in October and then the holidays. I want my surgery to happen no later the February 15th and I was ready to do whatever it took to get there. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
