How is it you all got approve and right away got your surgery dates? I got approved then they made me do all the requirements like mam ekg blood work upper endoscopy and stuff. I just finished all that and now the only thing left is surgery date.. Feels like they made my process longer somehow lol =\ well anyways congrats! And I hope your transition to the loser bench is suer fantastic!

My doc had me do stress test and sleep study while waiting on insurance, then as soon as they approved, they scheduled the surgery, EKG, blood work, EGD, ultrasound of gall bladder, etc all at once (not same dates of course, but I got a bunch of dates all at once). Good luck!

I didn't. I was approved on Sept. 4th and didn't get a date until about a week after all my pre-op stuff was done on the 3rd of Oct. My surgery was scheduled for about a month and a half after that (my surgeon has a conference or something to go to which delayed it by a week or two). Each facility has its own procedures. Some give a date and get everything done in the meantime, others wait to make sure they have all the data b4 you're even scheduled.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
