Hey Karen when us your surgery date and when is your nutrition class . I go June 9th for the nutrition class .

No surgery date yet. I'm waiting on my secondary insurance.. If I wasn't waiting on that I would be able to schedule it. It shouldn't be too much longer. You'll have to tell me how the nutrition class goes!!!

My surgery is 7/18 . I am in Louisiana.

My surgery is on July 29th. I'm also near Chicago. My surgery is with Dr. Cahill at Little Company of Mary in Evergreen Park, IL. Good luck!!

My name's Donna. I'm 31 , 2 kids, married and live in Lombard. I just started the process but I will be going to SilverCross as that is the closest option United Health Care gave me.I'm trying to get to a siminar but it may be a couple more weeks but I have the phych evaluation next week. I am curious of the pre op diet, please let me know! Thanks:)
