Hi All,

I have a surgery date of 2/11/11. I have a BMI of 35.9 with several comorbidities. I am hoping to hear soon that I have been approved. I have been medically cleared by everyone except the Pope, himself.

Is there anyone out there who is scheduled for February?

Hey again everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA, I've been super busy with my new job- just got back from a week of horrendous corporate training in Chicago!! Augh - was so ready to be home!! I hate flying as a fat girl - it's seriously miserable!!

I am less than a week out from my surgery - doesn't seem real!!!!

My surgery is scheduled for February 7th. I'm nervously excited! My pre-op testing and approvals all went more smoothly than I expected. The only glitch was with my Dr. having to cancel my initial appointment due to him having to do emergency surgery.

My date is 2/8/2011!!!

Tentative date of 2/10/11 - just did the pre op tests and waiting for DR clearance Tuesday to ok me for surgery.... SIGH!!!

My surgery date is 2/10, started my pre-op diet today and was almost overcome with cheating, thankfully I got on this website and the obsession had died down, this is going to be a tough journey so I know now I'll be visiting this site often to get through it. I'm looking forward to a new life.

Got my surgery date finally! February 28th! I am so excited!! Start my 2 week Medi Fast Pre-Op diet on Feb 14th, happy valentines day to me!

I am also scheduled for February 11th, 2011! And super excited but very nervous!!

Hi Everyone,

My date is 2/23/11. I start 2 weeks of 1200 cals tomorrow, then pure liquid 2 days before surg.

good luck to all!!

Surgery date is Feb 9th and for some reason I am not at all nervous. Really thought I would be. But I've been ok, gotta get this done, make sure husband has vacation time, the kids are taken care of etc etc. But no nerves. Might kick in that morning don't know!!

After being on a 6 month diet for the insurance company (lost 60bs), tests after tests after tests and now 2 weeks of pre-op diet (600-800 calories a day of protein and veggies) and thinking that was bad, tomorrow is all liquid diet. Now I start to reverse doing liquids, then having food added little by little,

My surgery is also tomorrow. Where in NJ are you going? I am having it done in Oradel with Dr. Pucci.

Jersey mom...can you pass some of that calm over to me because I am really starting to freak out I don't know why but all of a sudden I am freaking out. Keep telling myself that people have surgery everyday ...yikes!

My surgery date is Feb. 22nd!! I can't wait and am so excited! I am not nervous at all. I know this is what I need to do and am 100% sure of it. When I had my bypass surgery scheduled I canceled the morning of my pre-op (1 week prior to surgery). I just knew that decision was not for me. This time around with the Lap Band I am so confident and sure this is what I was meant to do ( I originally started w/ lap band and changed to bypass). I am blessed to feel this way.

LRD started yesterday. I am keeping my self very busy cleaning and organizing so I won't think of not being able to have "solid" food. It is such a head game! I will say that I am amazed at how the protein shakes fill me up. Now if I could just stop going potty every 15 minutes I'd be great!! lol

Good luck everyone!!

Just had mine done yesterday. I wrote like a novel about it. It was done with Dr. Robert Snow. I'm doing great and had an excellent experience. See if you can find my posting. I did a very detailed description of my experience. I hope it helps
