Wooohooo, I was approved. I am so happy I think my date is 10/11, at least that is what it says on the health insurance screen where it says approved. Yippeeeeeee!!!!! Oh I have waited so long for this, I can't believe it.

Congratulations!!! I remember how excited I was when I got my approval. Your date will be here before you know it. 1 tip that I can give you would be to "clean out your pantry" before your surgery. Get rid of the bad junk food now. Depending on what type of post-op diet your doctor has you on, at first you might be only liquids and you aren't going to want your "old" favorites staring you in the face. Especially once you move to the soft/mushy stage of eating. This is fantastic tool that we've all gotten, but it doesn't fix the mind.

Good luck and WELCOME!!!

Congrats! Good luck with the surgery, I'll see you on the losers bench in Novemeber!

Wooohooo, I was approved. date is 10/11

ME123

this is such exciting news - how wonderful for you -

think of all the great stuff that will be happening on your new long journey to health and happiness

i see you've been on the board since april, so you have a head start on some stuff that you need to know - but come back here when you have a question

anticipation

take care

good luck

Yea, I am doing the happy dance for you!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, It feels surreal still.

Yes I have been reading since I started my journey, so hopefully I am ready, I can feel it in my heart that I'm ready.

I have to start the clean out and I already started getting the things I need for post op minus the Protein shakes since I have been reading that some peoples tastes change so I will see what happens with me. I do have the unjury starter kit, and the Isopure grape and fruit punch for the Clear Liquids phase. My date has changed since this morning to 10/18, my surgeon only does sleeves at a certain hospital so it had to be changed.

Thank you so much everyone for being here, I can't wait to see you on the losers bench.( I couldn't wait to say that!!!)

Oh and my doctor doesn't do a pre op diet so I will just watch what I eat and go to the gym to prepare.

Congrats and Good luck, You Loser!!

The one place in the world where I WANT to be a loser!!!!!
