Bye!! Best of luck

I am August 11. Good luck to everyone.

I am just letting you all know I may be leaving this site. I come for support and to help one another through this process. Not to see people being bullied, nasty to each other, and the owner of this site do nothing. I still don't have a date and not sure at this point when it will be. I hope to stay in contact with you all somehow to support each other through this. At this point I cannot deal with the trash going on with things in this site and the owner allowing over 300 post in one thread back and forth bashing one another. It is truly sad. I contacted Alex, however no response and the crap keeping going. I'm sorry to post this here, but wanted you all to know if I don't come back here. Support and being supportive is why I am here. Not the other bs.

Good luck on your journey!

Just a thought - why do you read the 300 post threads that offend you? When I am reading a thread and it starts to go a way I disagree with or am offended by, I stop reading it. You can find support or you can find negativity. It's not up to the owner to not allow people to debate and have free speech. It is up to each individual whether to participate in it.

If you stay, this seems like a very supportive thread. If you leave, good luck with your surgery!

Ugh, just had my surgery orientation today and got the green light to start my pre-op diet, however I thought it was only going to be 2 weeks. WELL....its actually 3.5 weeks of optifast shakes. I don't have a choice to what shakes I get as I buy them thru the center and I had to pay in advance for them. I at least got to taste test them first, but they still leave much to be desired. I'm excited to get this process started (this Friday), but I can't wait to get the surgery done!

Finally got my date- August 18th-yeah!!

So excited and scared! Best of luck to all!

Hoary! Tell me about your excitement....

I am August 18 and so ready to getting started but anxious at what if it doesn't work for me and i don't lose weight.

I can't wait...August 20th

Hey there,we have the same day!!!

Here's a thought- since we are all so close and some with same surgery dates, how about we check in on each other as we go through our surgeries and recovery to see how things are going? since I've been hold numerous times that it's all trial and error, then we should share our experiences collectively so that we can also learn from each other on what has worked well or not. Not that everyone is the same but we can draw on each other's results, just like we have been doing all this time that got us here.

That sounds good kgunchic! We can just keep this thread rolling right along past August?

Thank you Urbanlamb! I'll start- got my preop testing in two weeks then following week I have appt with my primary for clearance as well as the preop class with the nutritionist. I'm scheduled to start the liver reduction diet on Friday August 8th! Wish it could have started on a Monday instead of a weekend!

Im going in for preop on July 24th and surgery is going to be around the second week of Aug. I just need the insurance approval! I have to wait 15 days!! 12 to go!
