Good for you my date is January 27.

Wow! That is fast! Congrats! Did you already do a pre op diet?

I think waiting to get approval is like the worst part so congrats on getting over that hurdle! I have to finish all of my pre-op testing before they will even give me a surgery date. Sucks lol

My surgeon says she does not require a pre-op diet. They initially wanted me to cut calories a great deal so it wouldn't be such a shocker to me. I was concerned about the diet because it was coming down to the last minute! They told me to eat really light tomorrow (day before procedure) and nothing after midnight.

Congratulations on your surgery date! Very exciting way to begin the new year and this new chapter of healthy living. I am just two months out and still figuring it all out, but I am so happy! Good luck to you -- keep us posted on how you are doing and don't forget to walk like crazy afterward. It really helps!

I got my approval today!!!! Now to get my surgery date!!! I am beyond excited!!
