So, July 25th is the magic day just awaiting insurance approval. I'm so filled with mixed emotions. Excitement, fear, anxiety, anticipation....which I think is pretty normal. So many changes in all of our lives. I begin my pre-op diet on July 11. It became real today when I got all of my diets from Phase ! through Phase IV so now I just wait. Anyone else at the end of July?

July 21st here. Oh I know the jubilation you are feeling. It consumes my thoughts. I can't wait to live again!!

Congratulations and best of luck!!!!

Ha, ha. I was thinking you got a date w/ the opposite sex (or whomever you want to date). I guess I can tell where my mind is (LOL). My date is July 24th. We will be pre-opting & post-opting at the same time. I'm kinda scared about the recovery phase mostly. I will look forward to not always being hungry. I hope I can break the life-long habit of drinking with meals. I don't want to be fat anymore. Its giving me bad health & has ruined my confidence. Good luck in all your weight loss endeavors.

My date is the 23. As long as my approval comes in. I go for my preop stuff the 14th. Super excited. Good luck everyone!
