ugh I remember starting my 2 week preop diet. Not going to lie, it was rough and I was scared too. Here I am almost 10 months later below goal, in a size 10 and I ate Arbys yesterday lol..... Very excited for you!!!!

Hello!
I am scheduled for surgery on June 5th. I am using Dr. McDaniel in Victoria,TX. I start the pre-op diet of 2 shakes and a high Protein meal with veggies starts on May 22nd.....
I am very excited...and nervous. My biggest worry is the lack of energy after surgery. I have 3 young daughters - and we are very active. I know I will be constantly sipping Water...but I worry how long I will be "down" concerning our beach trips, camping, swimming, etc....
I have tried downloading a bunch of before pics...keep freezing up. I am really hoping to utilize this site for support! Hopefully I will make some new friends with similar experiences and we can help each other through the tough times....
I already have a blog.... www.mightaswellbenow.blogspot.com
Not sure if I would start a new blog on here though....
Well -
Looking forward to meeting y'all!

ALright! I just have to figure out how to add "friends" on to this thing!! I look forward to our journey together!

Hi all my surgery is scheduled for June 4th! I was submitted to insurance for approval on the 8th of May and 3 days later it was approved! I have been very blessed throughout this whole process everything has went so smoothly and quickly that I feel as if it was just meant to be. I am beginning to get nervous now though!! Let's help each other through this and rock our June sleeves!!!

Hi Shannon and welcome,
My insurance case was opened yesterday so I'm just waiting for approval to get my surgery date. I love this forum and spend a great deal of time learning SO much and encouraging others. You'll find some solid support here. I'm glad you've joined us.
@ladylisa - Decatur? I'm probably going to have my surgery there with Dr. Kim next month! I'll keep you posted.

Hi Shannon!
I'm at the last phase of my pre-op qualifications. My surgeon wants me to talk to a psychologist and see a nutritionist. I've already visited with a cardiologist, and have to do one more test with him. Which all of these things I have scheduled out for Monday and Tuesday. None of them are anticipating there to be a hang up. I then see my surgeon and schedule. I'm expecting a surgery date in mid-June. So, our after surgery journey should be pretty close.
Good luck!!! I'll friend you so we can keep up with each other's progress. Let's do this!
