I am on my 7th going on 8th day of my preop liquid diet. It did finally get a little easier. By the end of each day I feel so empty and nauseated...But I am down 14 lbs though! So it's working...August 6th is my surgery date and I'm getting excited!

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!!!!

Kristigo, I'm very sorry to hear this has happened. HOWEVER, most of the peer to peer reviews I've read about result in approval. Please hang in there. Your reasons for wanting the surgery have not changed. And that's why you try. ((hugs))

I'm an August 5th Sleeve. So nervous. I'm at work but I can't think of anything but the surgery.

My operation date is August 5th... I'm a little nervous I've never bn in the hospital for anything.

I've had two C-sections. I figure I was awake for both of those and they pulled out a 10lb baby each time. This should be a piece of cake. Just stay ahead of the pain with medication. But I'm so anxious. Plus this preop liquid diet is making me cranky. So with the nerves and the crankiness combined, I'm a real delight to hang out with. But this time next week I'll be on the loser's bench. I thought this day would never, ever come.

Yay! Me too! Of course I get the pleasure of the liquid diet, so I'm envious of you there, lol! I'm required to lose 15 lbs before surgery and I'm down about 8 and got 7 to go with just under 2 weeks to do it. I'm losing about 0.5-1 lb per day so I'm very optimistic :-)

I'm scheduled for August 13th. I'm so ready for this surgery. I've been at this for a year now - between classes and losing the 10% - that I have no doubt that I'm ready and this is the right thing for me!!

Soooo...I'm making a suggestion. If you are a Pinterest Fanatic like me, DON'T open Pinterest for a while and especially while you are on your preop liquid diet. OMG...I am hungry! LOL!! :-)

OMG! I am a Pinterest fiend! i already have a board started that I post all of the recipes I've found there for after my surgery. Have you heard of Bariatric Foodie? I have all her books. Her stuff is soooo good!
