It's been a while since I posted last, as I haven't had much to share. Well, now I am happy to say that I've got a date! January 9th!!!

The scheduler called me this afternoon, I almost didn't answer because it was an "unknown caller" and I was just waking up from a nap. But I answered and was given the date! So unreal, especially since I was half awake and I had to repeat everything she said and write it down as she confirmed it, lol! So now I will have a 4 week liquid only diet starting on Dec 9th, and must lose 23 pounds before the surgery.

I'm excited and still in a daze that I have a date!

Congrats on your date-your'e on your way!

Thank you! I'm so ready!

My date is also Jan. 9th!

Cool Hickchic! Are you ready? and what kind of pre-op diet do you have? I'm trying to get myself organized and get all the things I'll need ready like Protein powder and Vitamins.

Aw, so happy for you, I know what an exciting time this is. Congratulations!

@lola I am very excited. My surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet. I have heard of many having to do a 2 week pre op diet. I have been buying sample size protein shakes/ powder because I have been told by many that taste change post op.

Oh my that's awesome! I have my surgery date set for January 8th. I am so excited, I started my journey in August and it's been well worth the wait.

Congrats! Isn't it amazing?

Few times in life you can look forward to a particular date knowing after that date your life will be altered significantly such as marriage and first child.

Thanks Susan and knt4ever! Can't wait to be on the losers bench!

MekeC I started in April with the referral, group meeting in August, meet surgeon in November and finally a date! Pretty much the whole time just waiting, I had no special meetings or requirements other than the pre op diet and labs. Yay! Our wait is finally coming to an end
