I got my surgery date - November 6. The weird thing is that I turned in all my stuff to the surgeon's office for insurance approval & they told me that they would "call my insurance to verify my coverage" and they'd get back to me in about 2 weeks with a surgery date - because coordinating through the hospital would take that long. IDK everyone on here was so worried about insurance approval and all my surgeon's office did was call to verify coverage. I guess it's just that they work with BCBS so much that they know what they need for approval. IDK.

Anyway - my endoscopy is next Tuesday Oct. 2 and then I have an appt. with my PCP on Oct. 23 to be cleared for surgery & in the p.m. my appt. with the surgeon's nutritionist for my nutrition class and to get all my stuff for the 2 week pre-op diet which I'll start 10-24.

I'm November 9th !

Congrats I got my date today too. November 14th

I too get sleeved on Super Tuesday, Nov. 6. I'm so excited. I do my psyche behavior assessment this week and have pre-ops visit on 10/25. I only have to do 1 week of clear liquids pre-op. excited.

I wish I only had 1 week of the liquid pre-op diet. I'm so scared I won't be able to do it!!

I was given 1 day liquid diet but I don't trust that

I think some doctors just aren't as worried about the size of the liver. I had my gallbladder removed laporascopically in 96 and I didn't have to do any type of liquid diet to shrink the liver beforehand & the gallbladder literally sits completely under the liver.

I agree...I think the doctors only give us these 2 week liquid fasts to give us a jump start to losing weight. I have an appointment on the 17th of this month and I will be asking : ) I'm not against it but wont be so worried if I cave in and eat something LOL!

I'm November 5th. I have a 3 week diet. It's mainly liquids, but I get very little protein and vegetables and a couple of other things each day.

wow three weeks..yikes thats a long time. You need support..just give a yell ! I'll be starting my diet on the 25 or 26 of this month....So some of it Ill be there right with you.

I just have to say...I love that my ticker says only 4 more weeks and 7 days LOL! When i first signed on it was 7 weeks..time does seem to fly..

I know what you mean.... mine says 8 weeks and 3 days ! I'm so excited
