I started the process in Feb and I was just approved today! Yay! I'm so excited. The only bad side to it.....my surgery is not until July, wish it was sooner. I dont even have another doc appt until mid June. So the next two and a half months are going to go by reeealllllly slow.

It will go by faster than you think!! Congrats on getting approved and good luck with your journey

How exciting.. Congrats!

That is wonderful! Trust us, it will go by quick. I was the same way, and before I knew it I was in surgery!! I wasn't even nervous the day of surgery... I was pumped and ready to go. :-) many well wishes to you!

Congrats! I will hopefully be having my surgery in July also. It will be here before we know it.

I was told that surgery would be a month out after I was approved so I've been expecting an early May surgery, but oh well...what's two more months?

I feel pumped and ready to go now but I'm sure the nerves will kick in closer to. What I'm really nervous about is the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Ugh!

I used Unjury chicken soup, and Soy protein. Don't buy a container if you don't have to. Also the Atkins shakes aren't bad. I get the chocolate and mocha latte. If you have a local GNC they'll let you try samples of their protein drinks/powders. I don't get the nasty after taste with Soy, also chicken broth, beef broth and sugar free jello helps too. Don't forget cream soups and puddings.
