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

Just got my surgery date 4/17!! Liquid diet only 1 week before. So exited nervous and anxious all at once. But couldn't be more ready!!

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.

I start shake for breakfast and lunch with 3 oz protein and veggie and a fruit for dinner on the 25th and 48 hrs before I go clear liquids, I am having rue n y

I start shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, and 3 oz meat with veggie for supper on march 26th with clears 24 hours before. Anyone else nervous about two weeks of living on shakes? Or for the surgery?

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!

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

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.

Started my four week liver diet yesterday!! Very excited to get this process started!
