Congrats! That is so exciting. I meet with my surgeon sometime in the next month (been completing courses and prep for the past year and a half .. ugh I just want it done already haha). I am excited to follow your progress!

All the best Sherry 👍🙏

Congratulations on the loss and your surgery date. Just don’t be surprised if you don’t lose as much as others do on the pre op diet because you have already started to lose that initial Water weight which is awesome. Anything you lose now just makes it that much easier later. Keep it up.

Nice. What is your height and what surgery you getting?

Anybody having surgery this Month? I'm July 25th [emoji120][emoji120]

Yesterday I had the last of my appointments, tests and virtual check-ins (or so I thought). I got a call after my last appointment - expecting it to be a scheduler to set up a time to meet with the surgeon. Instead, it was a question about my cardiac clearance - “did they do an echo while I was there?” (they didn’t). They said I would need one - sorry it got missed (irritated it’s another copay 🙄) … hoping they could get me in before my new insurance year (July 1st) but grateful they got me in on July 1st. At least it is not a long wait.

I’m worried that’s going to push out my meeting with the surgeon… and back things up a little. I know I will have a 8 day pre-surgical liquid diet to do prior to my surgery…. but my question is - how long after your last meeting with the surgeon was your surgery scheduled for?

My husband is a teacher and I’m hoping to have the surgery before he goes back so he can be around that first week or two at least.

As June turns into July… (he goes back mid August for in-service) I worry that might not be possible. I’m not worried about the insurance part, I’m confident that is already good. I’m not worried about the echo (I have no cardiac issues… it’s just the programs requirement). So it’s really just the surgeons availability that’s the last piece of the puzzle.

Thanks for any insight you can give. I’m trying not to stress - but the closer I get to the pre-surgical requirements being done … the more anxious I get.
