On track for November...

Had my second dietician visit yesterday. She said that by the next time I see her (9/30), I will have all of my other insurance requirements met already. We will set a tentative surgery date and will schedule a meeting with the surgeon (in October).

    I can only imagine. It seemed to take forever to get from the seminar to my first appointment, but it seems to be going quickly since then! Though the multiple appointments have made it go fast...

Awesome!! Sounds like we'll all be around the same time! :)

Hi ladies looks like we're all in for the month of November. My insurance should have proved me in the next 10 days or so. Then surgery is 4 to 6 weeks out. I'm going through Bluepoint Surgical group in Virginia and having my surgery at Fair Oaks Hospital. I should be the first week of November . That's my goal. However right now my goal is not to eat everything in sight. Trying to do some protein bars and protein shakes instead of meals now and then and chewing my food a lot more. I'm not too worried about the surgery but I'm really worried about the post op getting the water and the protein in. How are you guys doing with these weeks leading up to the surgery?

I don't think it has hit me yet. Maybe when I get insurance approval and a definite surgery date I will be more focused. Im not worried about surgery either. I've been doing the protein shakes as breakfast and trying to stay away from fast food. My mom found my baby plate and spoon. Im excited to use it again post op. I will eventually start practicing for the real deal. I did join the ymca and start swimming again. Im sure we will get there together...come on November!!!!

November will be here before you know it Dee. I just hope I don't have a lot of " last suppers" before my surgery gets here or I might gain some weight. Going to the gym 3 days a week just riding the bike right now but hoping to start lifting some weights soon . Ttyl

Im sure the last supper syndrome will hit me again by the time I get my surgery date. Lol.

Im so jealous. Lol. No Im not. Im happy for you. I can't wait until I get my call next week

Congrats
