Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

Having mine done on January 2nd! So excited and ready. My Dr is not having me do a pre op diet. Is that normal?

Mine took a little over a week to get approved by the insurance. I'm scheduled for January 30th. I need to see the dietitian again and the surgeon once again. I was kind of upset cause I was expecting the surgery to happen late December or early January

Mine is Jan 2nd . I am so excited and happy to do this. Just came back from seeing my surgeon. All is good lab perfect lost 44 lbs in 3 1/2 months. Can't wait a little nervous tho .

Hey everyone! My surgery is Jan 10th at 7:30 am with Dr. Bauman in Concord NC. So excited, but extremely nervous. Not so much about the surgery, but the recovery and learning to eat slower, dreading the pureed stage, etc. I know it will be ok. But, I tend to be a bit of a worry wart. I just think too much.

My diet is very simple... Unlimited Protein, 2 fruits, 2 vegetables and 2 starchy carbohydrate for 2 weeks.

Ok, so it probably varies quite a bit from surgeon to surgeon. I don't have a diet, I was just told nothing but clear liquids from noon till midnight the day before surgery.

That's awesome! I wanted to lose 45 before surgery but my loss has slowed to a crawl. I'm at about 33lbs down with what, 3 weeks to go? And let's not forget Christmas glaring its ugly head at me lol. I'm making tamales on Christmas Eve. That's gonna be a killer. My date is jan 9th by the way.

Jan. 4 is my big day!
