Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

Mjlange68,

It took a week for insurance approval and maybe a day for the doctor's office to call back. They planned a May date for me but I had to reschedule for June. It shouldn't take long. You can contact your insurance as well. I know I called to verify if the doctor submitted and they were able to tell me the process of my claim. Keep us updated

Hello Everyone!!!!! I am new to the forum

My surgery date is June 4th. My liver shrink diet starts in May 21st. So for now' date=' unfortunately, I'm eating everything I can think of. Did anyone else do that?[/quote']

I have thought about it, kinda like a "things I want to eat before surgery" list. Probably not the healthiest mentality for me! In the last few weeks, I've had Pasta, a clam chowder bread bowl, a donut, a big cookie from my favorite bakery, etc. I'm finding that it's not all that great. I feel way better when I eat my chicken, veggies, salad, etc. In fact, the most delicious thing I've eaten in a long while was a grilled salmon filet, which I should be able to eat after surgery (after being cleared for solids, of course)! I don't want to gain any weight now, just because I know I'll lose it. I feel terrible at this weight. That's why I'm having the surgery. When I keep that in mind, suddenly I don't care about all those foods that I shouldn't be eating.

June 3rd for me

Congrats! Welcome to the club Leslie!

Exactly one month to the day for me!!! Ackkkkkk!!! I can hardly hold my excitement in!!!! My poor fiancé! He's such a trooper listening to me nonstop and being supportive through it all!

Im doing the same thing! Im obsessing big time.

Me too

Lol! My husband is so supportive but I know he is tired of hearing about it. We normally spend Sunday enjoying a movie or lunch, but I made him cone with me to get all of my necessary items after surgery. He was a great help with pickibg out protein mixes.

Sorry for the typos!

I just spoke to the doctor's office this morning, everything's complete and they're submitting to insurance and said it will take 4-6 weeks for approval so realistically I'm probably looking at a June surgery. It seem so far away!!! I'm so ready now!!!

I'm hoping to submit to insurance on may 15th and hope to get approved for June - I'm so nervous about getting denied

Good to go!!! Yayyy! Work, my surgeon, and insurance approve of my surgery on June 5th!! Sooo excited! This is really happening!! :D

Awesome!

So I get a phone call from the surgical office , we got the green light from the insurance ........ I have 3 classes left for the workshop ...... surgery date is June 24th ...... finally happening ..... now comes the excited / nervous feeling , lol, but I'm glad it's coming

That's great!! Congratulations! It will all be so worth it for all of us! Just think about how you will feel and look a year from now! I almost can't even fathom the thought of even being under 200lbs! I haven't been there since elementary/middle school! How exciting!!

What has been the most challenging thought for everyone here?

Mine has been just wondering how I will feel skinny... It's such an odd thought for me. I never even thought I would see the day when I won't be "the fat girl" in the room.
