33 days and counting!!!! Excited beyond words, dreading starting the liquid diet in 2 weeks. Who else is looking to change their lives in February?????

There was issues between the hospital and the medical aid/insurance.

So have to change hospitals and surgeons. Hopefully it will be the 19th now' date=' but will have to wait and see. Meeting new Surgeon on the 11th then I will know more after that.[/quote']

That is ridiculous ...... But try not to stress too much. It will come together.

Well tomorrow at this time I'll be in preop..Nervous...No...Excitred...No' date=' just sort of accepting.[/quote']

Praying for you..... Just have faith that it'll work out.

Pre-op all day today with labs' date=' X-ray, EKG, meeting with NUT, post op nurses, physical from non surgeon! Feb 8 I have last appt with surgeon and then surgery Feb 14th

HW 230 CW 211 DOS 2/14/13[/quote']

Wow... Bet you're tired. Try to take a load off and relax... You're almost there! :-)

Me too...I just hope they let me go through with it. I have to go see the surgeon today so he can listen to my lungs...grrrr

So how did it go? Are u good to go?

Hi All!! I am new to this site. My surgery is scheduled for February 18th. As if that isn't enough I am moving just 3 days before surgery' date=' not far but it's still stressful trying to get everything together. I am 31 married mother of 3 girls ages 11,9, and 7. We live in Delaware is anyone else from Delaware?[/quote']

I am not. Maryland. Usually drive thru to N.Y. Welcome!

And I know moving is a lot, especially with kids and medical needs to be met...

Good luck

How will I survive on liqs I'm so hungry right now n it's day 1:/

Are u on Protein liquids? Because boost glucose control and drinking Water and crystal light is pretty filling (plus sf jello).... It is hard sometimes or boring....

So how did it go? Are u good to go?

Sorry I forgot to update here! They ended up letting me stay home and moving my surgery up....I have to be there at 7a.m. Magnesium citrate is disgusting and I already was having issues with only drinking shakes...there is nothing in there to clean out....blegh.....have a glass of Water near by. I am really nervous, but I am trusting in God. I won't be able to update till I get home though....no smart phone and this nexus is hooked up to my home FiOS so I will be off the grid till I get back. Hugs and prayers to everyone who goes in after me.....see you on the losers bench!

I firmly believe god did not intend for my body to survive on 500 calories!!!!!!

HW 312' date=' pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 248[/quote']

500? Damn! I and on 1000-1100 and have lost 10 pds. Told today I can add one Protein w/veggie meal as my Surg has been moved to 2/26.... Wow guys that's harsh... Had no idea!

Yes good luck and God bless guys!

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and surgery send off...suffering the wrath of magnesium citrate at the moment ......

yuck, ouch and gag....Kat77 and I will be at same hosp!

I don't have to do the mag cit at all. Should I be concerned? I am on a lower calorie than most here though. I've lost 11 pounds in 6 days.

I can't believe one week from right now I will be recovering in the hospital. Holy bejeez, this happened so quick! Hope this week fliiiiiies by!!!

That works! As long as weight comes off and the liver shrinks, especially w/laparoscopic. Some are cut larger below breast bone.... I need smaller cuts. Get mederma, some special scar healer, and later a bikini for the first time.
