April 2014 pre-op group

[Amyllf2 206]

I want to be an April like all of you!!!!! I'm hoping for April 14 or 15 but preparing myself for May 19/20. I'm a college professor so if I can't incorporate spring break into the mix I will have to wait. If I'm lucky enough to join you all in April, I've got 2 weeks covered until I need to be back in the classroom. yes, that's probably pressing it but I had my gallbladder out on a Friday and taught on Monday. Not happy but that's what chairs are for and it's only a few hours a day.

I have my psychological on 3/4 and my packet will get submitted by weeks end. I'm also at the mercy of the surgeon's schedule and fear April is already filling up.

My date is 4/8 and I can't wait, I tossed all of my clothes this weekend because I close on my new house 3/21 and why bother lugging all the big clothes when I will only have to do it again, I kept tee shirts, long sleeve tees and leggings and exercise shorts and 2 pairs of stretch denim.... Yup, I don't plan on needing them EVER again!

Tentative date is 4/15!!!! It looks like I met the 6 month diet requirement and now the insurance is just waiting for the results of my psych eval which was yesterday! I begging the psychologist I saw to send in the paperwork and not wait for the insurance to pay her. I offered to self-pay and be reimbursed. I hope she takes pity on me!

Now I'm moving my nutrition appoints to 3/13 and 3/27; Cardiac clearance on 3/20 and PCP on 4/4.

3 day liquid diet starts 4/12.

Fingers crossed

So excited for you all!!!! I moved my follow up psych eval to 3/20 since I've gotta follow up for my sleep apnea. Fingers crossed that I'll be done 3/20 and will then be submitted to insurance.

Hello..was told by my Drs. Nurse that I'll be called in to see my Doctor on 26th and give a date for surgery in April!! So excited Started this journey in June 2013...can't wait..so excited!

My date is April 8. I was expecting March but the communication between the nurse coordinator and OR booking broke down. So coordinator had me on like the 3rd week of a liquid diet before she realized the surgery (due to surgeon being on vaca in March ) wouldn't be until 5 weeks later. So I was told to stop the liquids and then to restart them 2 weeks prior to surgery. Smh! Anyway it's been a long journey for me had lapband 1/11/11. Made the decision to revise 12/12, band removed 10/15/13 and now I'm here.

Hey everyone! My surgery date is 4/7! I'm very excited and nervous!

[gettinbacktome 104]

Change of plans. My surgery was moved back to 4/21.

[pquinn181 21]

Got my surgery date Wednesday! Now I'm getting nervous. Was pretty calm until now. I have my pre-op appt on 31 March, then I start pre-op diet which should be fairly easy since I am allowed two Protein Shakes and two small meals a day. Then my surgery is 15 April. It's my birthday present to myself since my b'day is 21 April.

I got approval from insurance company today and am hoping to have an early April surgery date. I'll find out on Monday!!! So excited! Though it doesn't feel real yet. I'm driving my husband nuts talking about surgery all the time.
