Ok so I went to my consultation and I literally felt like I was on a job interview. I am sure thus is just the way I perceived it. I was nervous for some reason but glad it went quick. I was happy to weigh in 6 pounds less than i did 3 weeks ago. Anyway they are faxinh pre op authorization request to my dr. My goal is to have surgery approved by the end of July.

Best wishes !!!

Ok so I completed my EKG and Xray today. I have pysh evail on Tuesday and hopefully UGI before end of week. On my way

That would be cool. Band buddies :-) I have not been told to start anything yet.

Awesome! I'm excited for you! We can all be July Band buddies! WOoooo hooo!

July 24th if everything goes well with my EGD on the 16th. Day 2 of pre-op diet. Finally was able to blend a protein drink I could finish tonight. Not a fan of the protein shake situation. Lol

Ok, so things are moving right along....I have my consultation on July 11th and my xray and EKG on July 12th. My pysh on July 15th and I am having my upper GI xray tomorrow the 19th. I plan to visit my PCP on July 23 to make sure everything is received and ready to be faxed over to the surgeon's office! I hope to hear from the surgeon's office by July 31st thus meeting my goal to be approved for surgery by the end of the month. I suspect that my surgery will be in August which would be great. I am just trying to stay focus on preparing myself for surgery and beyond. Thanks for all the support and responses....you guys rock!

I am so excited today because I am at the salon for the first time in 8 years. I am finally paying attention to me for once! I am looking forward to working hard at my new transformation. I am taking care of me inside and out. Who knew there could be a balance to taking care of my family while taking care of my own needs. Anyway...I would encourage all of you to do sonething nice for yourself. Treat yourself!

Ok so today I was told that my surgery would either be August 27th or September 3rd. August 27th if there's cancellation which I hope there is because that is my preferred date. I am starting to get a little scared though. I have so many questions too.

Has anyone here had to drive themselves to the hospital and back home?
