I've finally gone through all my clearances and I get my date September 18th. From what they said they expect it to be the week of October 18th. I'm soooooo anxious at this point. I started at 250, and am now 237. Any October buddies out there? :-)

Penciled in on 21st. How long did it take you for ins approval.

My original date was 10/22. Got a call yesteday from surgeons office. She came back earlier then expected from maternity leave. Rescheduled my surgery to 10/8!!!

I have posted my date on here before' date=' but haven't really seen anyone else with October 22. I would love a surgery buddy. Now I know there has to be someone out there with my date and Dr. because the 7:30 AM appointment was taken and I have the 9:30 time slot.

October 22 announce yourself <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Me me me October sleeve. Can't wait to lose this weight, honey please. Been working out and eating right gettig this pre op done is not a fight. Waiting for my insurance to ok. Prayfully a year from now will be a "losing" day....

I'm not a rapper. I'm just having fun. Lord knows I'll glad when this surgery is done(whew).!

My official surgery date is Oct 5 and now my surgeon maybe changing his recommendation and wanting me to have bypass instead. Having gastric bypass scares me!!

Have you been told about your pre-op diet yet?

I go in for my pre-op October 4th, but from what I understand it is a 10 day liquid protein diet. The Doctor's office has all the supplies for me. I will pick up everything on the 4th of October.

Just got the news. Approved 10/21!!!!!!!

Mine was urging me to do that too. I held my ground as I have no comorbidities. No absorption problems, less risky, no intestinal manipulation, quicker recovery. Less life long malabsorption issues etc.

My doctors program just requires a 24 hour surface free liquid diet prior to surgery. Although I have been preparing myself by replacing two meals with a Premier Protein (best ever) shake, with one normal meAl. Will be sleeved October 9th! Anyone else for October 9th?

Got my approval so oct 3rd is my official day... Yay about to take pic of this old body lol
