Well, I have been on this site since my PCP referred me to the Bariatric Clinic at Loyola University in August. My day has FINALLY come. I have to be at surgery intake at 5:30 in the morning 12/23/2013. I am the first surgery of the day. Doctor said I will probably be discharged on Tuesday evening or Christmas morning.

My insurance - BCBS Federal generously pre-approved up to five days! Hopefully, I won't need them. So far on the pre-op diet and 7 days of liquid diet, I have lost 27 pounds. I can't wait for this time next year to see how different my health and life will be. Happy holidays to all of you......see you on the other side. So, cover me...I'm going in.

Miss Mac,

What a wonderful gift for yourself! Wishing you well in your surgery day.

What a great gift to give yourself, and a great way to start the new year with a new you!! I wish you good luck & happy anesthesia dreams!

I am also going in for my sleeve tomorrow. 8:30am at Palms of Pasadena Hospital in ST Pete Florida. Good luck to you. I wish for the best!!

Miss Mac,

Wishing you an Easy Surgery and a speedy recovery!
