I am Aug 11th. Today was my first day of the pre-op liquid diet. i am excited and a little nervous. My dr's office is slow so I only have a week before I got back to work. I was hoping for an earlier date. It is just a relief to have a date that is so clase after 6 month of hard work.

Today is my 48th birthday and I'm in the middle of the 2 week pre-op diet. I've been doing pretty good on the diet so far.

My birthday gift to myself will be 100% adherence to the diet today. My surgery is August 4th. Good luck to all my fellow August Sleevers. We got this!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Orlando!!! Very excited for you, what a great gift to give to yourself.

My Surgery is Aug 7th, I turn 51 on Aug 25th. Somewhat like you, but my gift to myself will be to stick to the post opt diet.

Day 5 for me on the pre op..... feel like I have turned a corner.

Take care all,

Laura

Day 5 of the pre op diet and I am starting to feel better .. Yesterday was a little hard I was so tired and emotional but I got a lot of sleep last night and I am feeling better .. Schedule for August 7 and I can't wait !!

Hi Everyone !! Getting Sleeved August 4th.

Day 7 of my Pre-op.. Doing Protein shakes for 2-3 meals.. I have eaten three times this week, but the meals have consisted of protein, low fat , minimum carbs. ( no funerals )

as a snack, I have eaten Non fat cottage cheese with a hand full of blueberries or a non fat greek yogurt if I feel I have to "eat" something.

7 days left.. Loser's Bench... I'm on my way..

Hi Everyone! Just got back from my pre-op. No big deal- Drew blood and did an EKG and sent me in my way. To be honest, when I got my date, I was sooo excited.

Now, after having walked through the hospital, I'm getting nervous. I'm a walking Murphy's Law. In that if anything can go wrong, it will with me or worse, I'll be the lone statistic of this not working.

Don't get me wrong, I'm Not regretting my decision but walking the hospital halls made reality hit me hard and I almost had a second thought of , "is this really necessary?"

But then, as I walked out and caught a glimpse of myself in the window glass, I'm like, "yep- really necessary".

Been a long wait, but mine is scheduled for Aug 7th finally

August 12 here

Whew...I suck to my pre-op diet and made it through my birthday without eating cake or drinking alcohol. It was hard. I haven't told anyone besides my wife about my upcoming surgery. So my friends and family put a lot of pressure on me to day. They all meant well.

I made a promise to myself and stuck to it. Good luck to everybody.

Orlando!

That was awesome.

I just heard from Cigna I was denied. As I sit here in tears, I was told last Friday that everything was going thru, that I should start the preop diet. Well here I am on day 2 of this DAMN liquid diet and have been told that the doc needs to resubmit paperwork and have a peer to peer review, why do I even try!!!!

Orlando! Way to go! You should be proud of yourself! I know that had to be hard for you!!

Kristigo I am so sorry this has happened to you. I hope it doesn't take long to get you rescheduled!

For insurance purposes. I have to do one more additional appointment with my primary care on September 5. So I will probably have to push surgery into the first week of October because of my kids school schedule.

i had to do the same thing..My original date was july 15th 2014, but insurance wanted me to do 2 more dietician visits..that was in may so i saw the dietician june and this month for an august surgery date..It was such a downer and unfortunately I fell off the wagon a bit because of the disappointment..I prayed about it and got back on track and I just left it in gods hands and you should too try not to be bummed things will turn out just fine and keep us posted still..GOOD LUCK TO YOU
