We will be starting our pre-op liquid diet on Tuesday. He has to do 30 days so I'm just starting it then with him. I think I'm actually ready. I've been having a week & a half long food funeral so I feel like crap. I'm ready to stop eating & get with the plan. Nothing has tasted as good as I thought it would; now I have a few extra pounds to get rid of.

Got my insurance approval and date today for September 17th!! With Dr. Feng at El camino hospital in palo alto' date=' ca (i think). I'm so excited I was to scream it from the roof tops! This process took so long![/quote']

My date was changed to September 11!! With Dr. Deperi at Memorial hospital in Jacksonville, Florida

Sept. 23 surgery, in Ft. Wayne Indiana. Doing my per surgery diet now!

I had a major setback and was sure I wasn't going to be able to keep my Sept. 12th date, but just as I have read over and over...one call to Susan and the problem was fixed within hours. Dr. Alvarez has been blessed with such a wonderful coordinator. Seriously, I have never had a Dr office contact me on a Sunday just to offer encouragement. I knew from day one if I was going to have surgery it would be with Dr. Alvarez. I did start my Chantix and quit smoking Wednesday night. I am doing very well with it and haven't touched a cigarette since. This is no small feat and I'm extremely proud of myself. I was a smoker for 22 yrs, now I'm a quitter!! I start my 7 day pre-op diet on the 5th....good luck to all the Sept sleevers...we are going to do great!!

My surgery is scheduled for September 16th, I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Right now I'm doing a 16hr shift and I'm sitting with 2 2-liter sodas in front of me... this is it

Sept 19th Hackensack Hospital

That sounds like New Jersey. I was born in NJ

Sept 9th in Toledo OH! Nervous. Excited. So emotional. Doesn't help that I'm moving my oldest to college the day before surgery! Good things to come though. Day 3 of my liquid diet. Not bad. Few headaches here and there but doing ok!
