After a long 6 month wait, while meeting all my insurance requirements, my wait is finally over. I got the call today that I am approved for surgery on April 24th. My surgery will be done by Dr. Dat Nguyen at the Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton, CA. I am 28 5"4 and will be app 228 the day of surgery. My goal weight is 145 and my ultimate goal is pregnancy as I have pcos. Looking forward to my dream coming true!

I am 4/24 also

.

My surgery is 4/23! Did you start the liquid 800 calorie diet yet?

I haven't started it I was told just liquids 2 days before surgery. I also got a call today that they need to reschedule. Hopefully it will be bumped up to next week otherwise they said may 6th. I have waited 6 months already so I'm hoping its not pushed back to may.

That's got to be frustrating. I hope it's moved up for you, too...less time to get nervous!

Thanks Lana I hope so too I am starting to feel a bit nervous lol

Well they moved it from the 24th to Monday afternoon. I thought if be happy but now I'm starting to panic a little.

Me, too. Thought about writing letters to my husband and kids, but can't get thru it without crying! I have faith that all will go well, but what if???

We have to think positive!

As long as we follow the Dr's orders we will do great.

I have no kids so I can only imagine what you are thinking but stay positive and know your doing this for a better life

3 more days. So ready for this. Not nervous at all. Only had to do 5 days of pre op liquid and am able to have veggies and yogurt. Feel very fortunate about that. Stocked up on muscle milk shakes as 20 grams of protein in each shake. Got my vitamins and am registered at the hospital. Tuesday can't come soon enough. HUGE thank u to this forum. It's been the best support system ever.

I had my surgery a week ago wednesday and the only word of advice is my diet plan said to wait 7 days before starting Protein and that was big mistake because by that time i was real weak. I dont regret having this cause i know in the long run it will work out, 20 lbs down so far!!

How's everyone doing? I had surgery Tues and came home today. Little scare Tues nite when my heart rate stayed around 39-42, but EKG came back fine. I kept down 18g of protein today and feel pretty good with that. Also had a hiatal hernia fixed, which is what I think most of my discomfort is coming from.
