Any december surgies out there???

I've had my surgery date for about 3 weeks now, December 10th. My doctors office submitted paperwork to my insurance this week on Monday and I called the next day and was approved! So easy.... I feel so glad that it went through so smooth like that with no pre-reqs.

I go to the hospital on the 11th to have all the testing I guess. Pre op appt is two weeks before surgery. Wonder what is in store for me on pre-op diet. Last time for the lap band I had to do one month all liquids. I did really good though so hopefully this will be a piece of cake.

I hope all goes well for you too. If you don't mind, why the change from lap band to RNY?

I'm really dealing with a lot of anxiety waiting for Dec 2 to get here. My surgeons office told me people have made it to the pre-op room day of surgery and walked out last minute!!! I told my friend that and she said she could see me doing that...didn't help a bit!! I'm afraid to say too much about my anxiety to the MD because I don't want them to change their minds!!! It is going to be a longing for me....

Mine is 12/18 and Im already a mess. I will be crying my eyes out until they knock me out. I will not walk out but I am trying to figure out how im going to sleep for the next 6 weeks! Lol

I don't think I will be having any anxiety til I am closer to my date! I know for sure that if I am going to go through all of the pre reason then I will go thru with the surgery ! I will be nervous the day before and the morning of!

I wish I could wait until day before lol. Im not scared or "worried" I think im nervous of the unknown. How will I feel. Will I not lose weight quick enough. Will I throw up all the time. Mines a week before christmas...I think will something happen and make me miss my 1 yr olds christmas morning. And thats just a handful of what keeps me up at night. I remind myself the positives but its just what I do! Lol

I would worry too if I had a small one! My kids are 20 and 26 so they understand ! I was wan ting mine right before Christmas but now I am hoping for a little earlier date! In December so maybe I can eat soft foods! I don't have my date yet so we shall see!

He offered me 12/10 but Id have to start preop diet before even gaining approval from insurance. We are submitting to insurance 11/25 and diet would have to start 11/26. Not to mention thats 2 days before Thanksgiving! Lol. Ii am totally fine with skipping a thanksgiving meal however if I dont gain approval ill have to continue the diet until well who knows when so id rather plan on the 12/18!
