I will be having my surgery on September 29th! I am so excited! Its been a long process to get the approval both from my insurance and from my boss for the time off, but I finally have both and will have surgery in less than 2 weeks!

I finally understand what all the excitement over getting a surgery date is about!

Hang in there!! The end is in sight!!

Congrats! I cant wait for my journey to start ..... October 6th

One more week and it will be our turn!!!

I'm so excited!!! I can't get anything done because it's all I think about

My surgery is September 30. My shakes have become tasteless now. I try 2 a day. One for breakfast one for dinner with a salad for lunch. My work schedule causes for more food. My headaches makes me a grouchy person. I'm so ready for my procedure. My doctor put me on the two week liquid pre op diet.

Hang in there! I can completely relate but were almost to the finish line!!!!

Thank you @nurselori. It truly feels so far away. I want to eat so bad. I smell EVERY INGREDIENT in food. I'm sipping homemade soups tonight to get a little nutrients and full effect to last my overnight hours at work

You still hanging in there LuckyOne53?

Hey everyone! We are almost there! This is my last day at work and having a massive dip day as a send off! I am truly grateful I dont have a grueling 2 week liquid diet...I commend all of you! My liquid diet starts Saturday! What time is surgery on Monday?!! I am a late one...300 pm!!!!

I haven't been given a surgery time yet but they said I'd be later in the day since I'm a revision

Yes hi @@Nurselori I am hanging in there. Pre registration done this morning. I'm almost done.

My expected surgery time said 330pm. As of registration the 1030 was not yet approved by their insurance. It is highly possible I could have the 1030am time. I will know for sure on Monday. :-)

Getting closer 29th sleevers!!! So excited and sooo nervous! Few questions: where is everyone from? And what are we packig for the hospital stay.....if you have one (I stay 2 days)?!!

Hi @@KristenLee I was reviewing others list of things to pack. I took notice of pajamas, chap stick, laptop or cell phone (avoid visitors). I'm from Miami, Fl. I believe the stay is 2 days.

I'm Lori and I'm from Vienna,West Virginia. I'm headed to Mexico to Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC. I am a revision

Counting down......

So excited, but the relaization that is happening has my anxiety through the roof! Little nervous and hoping I don't fail at this! I love food so much! But I love my kids more be want to be healthy. Almost game time!!
