ME TOO!!!!! 2 shakes down and 36 ounces done!!!!! WE GOT THIS!

Thank you, girl! This will be awesome...

I haven’t started and am grumpy already. Omg, this is going to be a very harsh experience for me. For many years, I’ve used food as an escape; the one thing that would not look at me weird and made me feel soooo good. Now, that is gone and am starting to freak out. I went grocery shopping today and purchase sugar free Jello and pudding and Soups to make at home (creamy soups) in order to not get bored and run to eat something I shouldn’t. What Dr. is performing your surgery? Best of luck to you.

Surgery on the books for 11/8 - f/u today for sleep apnea, pre-op diet starts wednesday and nuclear stress test Friday early AM! Fingers crossed for the all good and a big fat green light!

I'm so sad [emoji20] They are pushing my surgery back until Dec 4th because their office is so disorganized. I switched insurance Sept 1 and notified the office. The insurance company rep even called the office and got everything straight for me. I verified that my surgeon was in network and vsg was covered etc. I've had 3 appointments since then and even verified with the bariatric coordinator that I had switched insurances and what the insurance rep had told me at my pre op appointment. She scheduled me for Nov 14th and I was so excited. She called me yesterday to tell me that my (old) insurance wouldn't allow me to have surgery in my state. So she bumped me off the schedule. I am so mad at the office. Firstly, why did they let me spend nearly a year doing their program when my (old) insurance would have been denied. I'm confused on that a little since I has previously called old insurance at the start of the program and they said they covered what I was wanting to do. Anyway,When she called me yesterday, I again told her that I have a new insurance as of Sept 1 and told her the front office had my info and that I had already personally talked to her about it. I am just very sad my surgery is delayed. The surgeon needs to get his office together. It is like an assembly line in there and obviously they don't communicate very well.

That sounds rough!! I hope all checks out and you can go ahead as scheduled--we can be surgery buddies! [emoji4]

My surgery is scheduled and on the books for 11/8. But after forgetting about a stress test prescribed by the cardiologist in July and then vaca and then a 7mm kidney stone with infection/sepsis included....I finally got the stress test done today. Fingers and toes are crossed for all to be ok and surgery date to stay on the schedule!!!!!

I’m in south Jersey and set for Nov 8. All my pre-op appts are coming up! Very excited and nervous but so ready!!!
