I got my approval from insurance yesterday, I'm scheduled or July 15 as well!! I have all my per-op on the 9th as well as my final weigh in! I'm excited,anxious, and also I'm getting nervous! How are you feeling with everything coming up really soon?

I'm really excited and just a bit nervous. So ready to be on the other side! My pre-op is the 9th as well!

I cant wait to be there either! I can't sleep anymore, all I do us lay awake and think about it!! When did you first start this entire process? wondering how long it took you to get a date? my first appointment was May 2, and i got my date June 20. Insurance approved it 4 days later! i cant believe how quick it all went for me!Keep me posted how everything goes! I'm glad I met someone who has the same dates as I do!! Good luck and keep in touch! Carrieann

I started with my seminar in January and my intake appointment in Late January. I made the decision to this in December. I had to do a 3 month supervised diet and then get a cardiology clearance (my cardiologist is über careful so I had a stress test, nuclear stress test and echo on top of the EKG the surgeon wanted. That's a good thing, but it added a month to my wait time. But now I have the date and time (I check in at 7:30 on the 15th and hit the OR at 9:30). I am sure the next two weeks will fly by! I have started dreaming about why I will look like and what I will do when I lose 85-90 pounds. .

I have my first shake sitting by me. Since I don't have to do full liquids I am starting today instead of next week. Hopefully I will lose a few more pounds this way.

That's awesome! I check in at 8:00 and hit the OR at 10:00!! Not looking forward to recovery! But I know I'm doing this for a good reason! I can't wait to be about 110-120 pounds lighter!!

I am the 15th too!! So glad I found buddies!

Yay!! I know it I'm glad I met buddies on my same day! We'll have to keep in touch !

Definitely! I like knowing others will be with me in spirit the day of surgery.

In other news I went ahead and started my pre-op diet today. Oh my Lord, the headache! On the bright side I get to have grilled chicken and green Beans in a couple hours. Hopefully that will help.

You are lucky grilled chicken!! ( Never thought I would say that!!) lol. I have to do two weeks of liquid but you do get vegetable soup!! Yay! haha.

My surgeon uses different pre-ops based on BMi. He said I could have 1 lean high protein meal a day up until the day before. Then just clear liquids.

Congrats to you!! Best wishes with your surgeries and recoveries!!
