Thank you so much

Hello everyone, I have found a lot of information and helpful support here. Surgery is tomorrow. June 29th, 2020. I was ordered to do Covid 19 test to clear me for surgery. I was really nervous about the test as I heard and read so many stories saying it hurt. It did not hurt, it was quick, they swabbed both nostrils it was a weird feeling, a bit awkward like a fruit fly going up ur nose, n my eyes watered. I had to do 6 months of nutritionist visits, and since I'm near my goal weight for surgery I was told to do 3 days liquid pre op diet. Reading about how others have done for 1 and 2 weeks on liquid diet has given me strength to do my 3 days. I'm excited and nervous of what's to come. I plan on taking pics tonight for my own before and after as well as keep an eye on my diabetes type 2 and high cholesterol and improvements.

I pray for a speedy recovery

Hi sounds good I thought we weren't allowed to have soda after surgery due to the carbonation. I havent had surgery yet its Monday the 29th.

Congrats on surgery. Glad you're feeling good.

I agree about the insurance driver and true they shouldn't hold it against. I pray the date is solid. This Covid-19 def doesn't help with weight stability... Good luck ...

I am 203 pounds. 5ft 3 inch. I, fall just under the requirements of having over 40 bmi. However, I have type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. My Nurse told me that I must maintain my weight for the 6 months of nutritionist appts/visits if not the insurance company will not approve the surgery. Therefore, I can't gain weight (As it will show that im unable to follow an appropriate healthier eating plan now they won't want to risk dangers of side effects if that occurred after) I completed the 6 months of nutritionist visits and my psychological eval.

Good evening, its my first day on this forum. Glad ur first day of liquid diet is going well. I'm nervous about that. I love my toast n rice. I have surgery the 29th. Tuesday. I have appt to talk to the Dr. I will find out when I go on my liquid diet and the specifics. I'm nervous and excited. Then Covid 19 testing (a bit nervous about that. Some say it hurts) the hospital test all patients pre-op n Dr for overall health and safety.
