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?

Best of luck to anyone having surgery today

I found out Wednesday that I'm having surgery next Tuesday the 16th!! So excited! Good luck to everyone!

Yay same date here

Yea I'm trying 2 get the house all together & the kids packed they are gonna be gone for the week which will make it lots easier for me... Plus get myself all packed don't wanna forget anything

I feel so un prepared! I just ordered WLS for dummies and some samples of diff protein mixes ...i got my vitamin crystals on tuesday but besides that ive done nothing i still need to drop off my scripts the dr gave me and figure out what to bring with me to the hosp im an over packer so i want to make sure i dont bring too much

Lol. Me as well. My pre op diet consists of a protein shake for breakfast & lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner and at least 64 ounces of water. That should shrink the liver for easy access for laparoscopic gastric bypass. I'm going to hopefully not go crazy!!

Wendilou gave a great packing list on this thread. Go backwards and you should find it.

I was looking for it and couldn't find it!

I am new to this group but my surgery is April 26th. I live in Canada so am fortunate that our health insurance pays for the surgery. Had my pre-op yesterday so nothing else until day of surgery. I am beginning my second week of Optifast and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am anxious, nervous everything rolled into one. WIshing this will give me a reversal of my diabetes . Fingers crossed.
