I Am in the process of completing my insurance requirements and although I dont have a date,my patient advocate stated probably mid october. I wish it were sooner. Waiting is killing me!

Hi Everyone,

I just finished my pre-admission testing, my date is 10/18/12!!! I hope everything is okay with all the tests, my PCP needs to clear me for surgery. I'm so excited, not nervous really maybe when my date gets closer but I doubt it, I'm so ready for this.

October 9th! I go for my final weigh in tomorrow and get cleared Tuesday by my PMD! My pre-testing was finished last week... And best part is I dont have a liquid diet to do!!

October 10th!

Hello. I am new to the site. Mine is Oct. 4th too and I am excited but getting super anxious . Thre more days. Best of luck to you and all fellow Oct sleevers.

I don't have to do a liquid diet either!

I don't have to go on a liquid diet pre surgery either which some folks have found strange. I guess every practice is different.

I've been on a diet that my dr put me on for 8months and lost that way... I guess every dr is different

@Rosie76- how great we are having it the same date. Do you have a time? Mine is between 1:00-5:00. I didn't ge a liquid diet either , he just put me on a 1500 calorie diet for a week.

@#1Mima -- Mine is at 11 AM. They told me to be there at 9 AM.

YAY! I have to see the anesthisioligist (sp) on wednesday at 8:00, I think he will tell me what time to be there Thursday. I will be praing for you!!

Thank you and right back at you.

October 5th 1:40pm

I can add your name, if you'd like...

That would be great, thank you!
