Congratulations....Nervous is normal I think...My date 12/11

Dec 11th for me and start pre op diet tomorrow

I found this about metabolism http://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/content/diabetes/art4005.html

Dec 11th for me...Birthday on Christmas Eve, So Happy Birthday to me..LOL….. My Day to start puree food Dec 25...Merry Christmas to me (Mashed sweet potatoes...YUM)

Not weird at all...We all have the same thoughts at times I guess...Im anxious but nervous too

Dec 11th here in Maryland..Pre op diet starts 11/27

Mine was 2 hours. Most written questions , true and false questions. Many questions where the same but in a different context. Basically they are checking for eating disorders and mental health issues. Most of the visit was conversation was very laid back and just chit chat to make sure your head is on straight...Had my eval the end of Sept. Surgery date 12/11

No not the same. I have Medicare and if Medicare doesn't pay 100% then Medicaid picks the balance up. Medicare is Federal and Medicaid is the state your in

Medicare/Medicaid

I was just approved yesterday. But I did the same thing. I bought a few brands and tried them. Premier Protein and Muscle Milk I like the best. I get choc and vanilla. The vanilla ones I put orange extract in them and they taste like crèamsicles..I use different types of extracts.. I also like Whey protein shots, they are 42 grams a shot and taste like punch

Shocking to me mine was approved in a week after my medical reports where done and they had all paper work. 1st class was in August, last class was 10/18. Paper work to insurance was sent in on 11/9 and I was approved on 11/13 and Surgery date is 12/11

Just got my date of Dec 11

Good read and info...Thank You

Congrats on your Dec 5 date...Waiting for my date...I am excited and nervous also. Ive been checking out ideas and recipes for the 2 weeks b4 and the 2 wks after...Good Luck to YOU

Hoops have been jumped here, should get date in a few days. Looking like January 2019 they say...Few little creepy thought hit me at times but all in all I am anxious to get this in gear...Good Luck to all who is waiting on a date

I am waiting for a date too. I was told 2 to 3 months, but this late in the year they try to get all applicants before the 1st of the year. Its my docs office that bugs them and they started bugging the insurance company the day all my test where done. Hope you get yours soon and Hope I am right there with you...GOOD LUCK

CONGRATULATIONS ...This is 2 days after you posted so I am hoping all went well for you. I just finished my final nutrition class and all test and Appointments are done. Now just to get a surgery date. Even though I am very anxious in a good way to get this done, I tend to still have some questions in my head of, To Do or Not to Do... I want you to know I came across your post just as a question was in my head, but your Happy Face on a stretcher and a thumbs up was just what I needed.....Thank You for sharing and I hope to see you making nothing but PROGRESS in the coming days
