Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

April 17 here I come two days after my daugthers birthday

Congrats for getting your date!! I will change the list! YAY!!

Can you guys help me. I am noticing that you guys have lost anywhere from 15-20 lbs before your surgery. I am having mine on April 18 and I need to loose weight. The dr hasn't made me feel like its mandatory I mean he said it would make his job easier and recovery would be better for me. So I want too I just don't know what to do! My family is not very motivating but hubby said he will start walking with me tonight. What should I eat to help me loose? CW 317 I would like to loose at least 18lbs before my surgery. HELP

The only thing I really have been doing is eating healthier and watching my portions. I still have something if i want it, just WAY less! I cant exercise right now due to bad back issues so that doesnt help. Even walking is hard after working all day. Since I am at the heigher weight, tthe pounds always come off fast at first and then I plateau which is where I am at right now. Have you tried eating the pre made meals, Smart Ones, and the like? I found that having the portions ready, it was easier. I know that what is there, is all I can have! Good luck!

I will add you to our April list as well!

So good news is that I received my insurance approval. Bad news my Dr. was called away and my date is now May 3rd instead of April 1st.. I am so ready that almost 7 weeks seems like forever.. I look forward to reading all about your experiences to come up here in April. Good luck guys!

Hey, at least you got the aprroval!! Congrats!! Youve waited this long, a few more weeks will fly by! Good luck to you!!

Good Morning All! Here we go again....This is a hard job!!

I got a confirmation letter in the mail yesterday. My surgery time is 9:30am with an arrival time of 7:30am. Gosh this is getting real! I didnt think I was nervous, but when I read the letter, my heart started pounding and tears came to my eyes. I just cant believe that after thinking about doing this for years, it is just right around the corner! My life is about to change, and finally, FOR THE BETTER!!

Its hard losing weight

I woke up this morning sick as a dog. I think it is maybe an upper respiratory infection. I'm going to the doctor this afternoon. Do you guys think I will have to push back my endoscopy that's two days from now? I hope this does not effect my surgery date 3 weeks from now...
