I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on August 25th. Today is the first day of my 2week pre op diet. I still have to go to Boot Camp (a meeting to go over things and ask final questions with a nurse) then my last visit with the Dr. And take a test???? Very last thing will be a final blood test and get my time for surgery. I am so excited to get on with the rest of my life. I am 64, start weight 241 and 5'2". Oh and 24 hours before surgery a liquid diet. I'm glad I found this app. Michele

Going to my pcp today to ask for my medical need paperwork! Been nervious the last few days about all of this! I feel like they r just gonna tell me no that I haven't really tried to lose the weight! But ohh I've tried!

On the 3 month plan per insurance.. I feel like this is all moving soo fast!

[Dee_RNY 43]

Not moving fast enough for me...lol. Not nervous or scared or anything. Im ready!!!

What I did was write a timeline weight history listing the year...what I tried (I.e. ww, 1200 Cal, slimfast etc) what I lost...if any...what I gained and my approximate weight.

I'm with you Dee. I've been researching this for thirteen years!

[Dee_RNY 43]

Yes Angel. I've researched so much until I feel like I know as the doctor. Lol.

[Angelkeeper4 69]

Well I'm letting go of my hope for October 6 surgery ....had my cardiology appt today need two tests that need precert and the followup appt isn't till 9/24.

I know I don't have room to really complain but I'm disappointed.

[Dee_RNY 43]

Im sorry Angel. It's better to be safer though and we will all still be here for you.

Question!! So how much time does everyone plan to take off from work and what kind of work do you do?! I seem to be getting resistance becuz of the type of surg. But when I had Ivf or we are pregnant everyone is so nice to lend a helping hand but becuz this is "elective" I need to be able to carry deadweight.. FYI I work as an xray tech at a hospital.

I am having mine done in Mexico. I work 7 days on, 7 days off and I'm only taking my usual 7 days off work. I plan to be back to work after a week. I do have an office job though and I sit on my butt all day though.

October 14th for my gastric bypass, cant wait! Only a one week preop liquid diet required for me. Best of luck to every one.
