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?

I have a date! April 29th! Add me to the list please!

Good luck! Keep us posted! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I am finally home. I had lots of pain from the gas for the first 2 days, so I did a lot of walking. I couldn't rest at night. This is day 3 and I am much better. My hubby has been a godsend. It's kind of hard getting the liquid down, but I guess my body is still adjusting.

Awesome. At this time last week they were fighting to get a iv in my hand when i flat out said my veins roll and blow and not to use it. 10 mins later in was in my forearm. Today i feel even better. Still got some water edema.

Thanks jannyb35, we are less than a week, how's your pre-op going?

I can't wait to join the rest of you on the losers bench! The 30th can't come soon enough. I have finally got control of this liquid diet. I do, however, find it quite curious how some doctors have you do a 2-week and others only do a 2-3 day diet, and some don't have to do one at all. I wonder what causes those preferences in each doctor.

I didnt have to do any diet before

So interesting how that works.

I know so different its crazy how different each doctor is

I agree, also, post-op diets are different per each doctor as well. You would think this type of stuff would be universal after the amount of research that has gone into these surgeries . Makes you wonder...

About to head out to my pre-op appt with my surgeon with list of questions in hand. I'm curious to know what my metabolic test said. Start pre-op diet tomorrow...surgery is Monday! Can't believe it's so close!!!
