I'm so excited! I was finally given the green light from my insurance company after several months of frustration. My original surgery date was early August but insurance never gave me an answer until now. SO, my new surgery date is November 12th!

I'm nervous but excited. My husband and most family members are against me having this surgery but my husband says he will support my decision. I'm so glad he love me!

I feel my biggest hurdle is going to be the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. Any suggestions out there on how to make it through that time in a "graceful" manner???

Anyway, I'm thrilled to finally have approval and a date!

Hi Nancy, congrats on your official surgery date! The 2 weeks pre-op diet it extremely important to do. Don't look at it in the means of what can I do to do good, but more that you HAVE to do it. No question. Other than that lots of praying, meditating or whatever you do to calm yourself. Maybe even a little staying in your room a lot too. Haha Hang out here, there's plenty of support.

Thank you LilMs Diva Irene! I think the staying in my room is probably going to be my best option! I'm not a happy camper if I'm hungry and I don't want that to overflow onto anyone else!

I know I will just have to "bite the bullet" and get through it like everyone else but I can't wait to be on the "other side"!

Thanks again!
