Im looking for dec sleevers im getting sleeved dec 17th would to hear from ya'll

I keep seeing everyone talk about a pre-op diet. I wasn't told I had to do this. My meeting with the nutritionist and my final meeting with the surgeon is on the 29th and my surgery is on the 3rd that's only 5 days. Was anyone else not told about a pre-op diet?

I see the doctor on the 19th wondering do I have to pick a surgery date then? Or wait until the approval come back from the insurance?

Morten, I would call your doc tomorrow and check to be sure.

Jackie, depends on your office. Some will schedule, some will wait for approval.

Thanks!

I have a surgery date of December 10th but I wont know until the end of this month if Im approved for surgery. I'm praying that all goes well and that my insurance will approve it!

Dec 4th for me!!

I have the same date as you. I don't have a pre-op diet either. I am to have a small Breakfast and nothing after that the day before surgery.

Dec 4th for me!!

I'm the day before!

I am December 20

Got my surgery date finally so very blessed and happy but it's bitter sweet, can't do it till dec 10th. I'm heart broken because doctor had told me that I would be able to do it by thanksgiving and his nurse just said he doesn't know what he has going on.

Also means instead of being almost healed by Christmas that I'm gonna be really sore still

I'm happy to have the date but I'm also bawling because he had my hopes up for this month.

I asked her if she can see if she has any cancelations or anything they can do because all the time I saved up for surgery expires the 21st of December

Yeah, I'm praying she actually checks to see if she can get me in this month. She said shed call the OR and check but not to get my hopes up

My date is 12/13. I cannot wait!!!

Dec.11 for me. 2 week liquid diet Monday after Thanksgiving. I think it will be liquids on Christmas too but that's ok. All the new clothes under the tree next year will be worth much more than food - it will mean I am healthier and in control of my destiny.

Hello to all. My surgery date is dec. 19! I'm so excited but also a ball of nervous. I went to see the specialist on oct. 11 did my NUT the same day. Went to see the Psy on oct. 23. Had EDG done on the oct. 29 was approve by 11/1. Everything went so smoothly. I am 5' 7'' 265 bmi 41 looking forward to getting my energy back. Plus looking forward to getting out of plus size cloths. Thankful for everyone's stories because some days I feel a little crazy. Plus I have some bad habits. I love sugar . I'm a real addicted to sugar. Can anyone give me some ideas about how to get over this. I don't want this to continue once I am on the other side.

I am 12/12/12 too!!! Don't get to worried about it... I was getting myself all worked up about it and then my approval came in less then a week! I am so excited now... I feel like it is getting so close and with Thanksgiving being only 2 weeks away then we will start all of our Christmas prep so I am hoping the next month goes by fast. I have all my pre-op testing on 11/15 and my EGD on 11/20... I am suppossed to start my pre-op diet a week before my SX date but I think I am going to start it sooner.

I didn't have to do and EGD. My pre-op testing is on Dec 6. I think I'm going to start my liquid diet on Dec 2 to give myself a couple of buffer days.

I'm. December 10th too! Waiting on one more clearance but they gave me a tentative date . Part of me wants to move it back until after xmas but I also just want to get it done.
