I am having my surgery November10th. I have already been approved by my insurance just waiting.

Mine is November 3!!! I'm new here. This is my first post

I'm a newbie too. :-)

Completed my last appointment today! Hallelujah! So much information, overload!

Kaiser only requires a two day liquid diet one day full liquids one day Clear Liquids two days prior to surgery.

Thankfully I've been following their pre-op diet on and off since May and I'm still losing weight on my own. I would love to get down another 10 pounds before my surgery.

But I am having my farewell dinners in lunches just a few things that I don't know that I'll ever be able to tolerate again.

Our nutritionist said again today some people cannot handle sugar or really greasy foods they get dumping syndrome even with the sleeve. It's amazing though when you are eating and making better choices how those foods don't feel good anymore... Happy for that!

I firmly believe nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

I thought for sure I'd be sleeved in December but after a phone call with my coordinator yesterday it looks like I could be sleeved in November!!! She said since my primary insurance is Medicare I could get a reply in just a few days!! (Medicare at 36 years old isn't what I'd call a great thing though). After approval she said it's about 3 weeks until surgery.

I got my date and approval today! November 10th!

I finally got my surgery date, November 17th! !

November 10th...got my approval yesterday! Only took 3 business days I was so nervous of being denied...so just waiting now

That is good my office was 4-6 weeks out and longer at the end of the year. So glad you got an earlier date.

Welcome! Since you are early November you have to share your experience with us.

Mine is November 5th.......

I'm 11/4 as well. Got my countdown clock on my phone just a ticking away! Lol

What is the name of that app? I'd like to have a countdown on my phone

as well.

I'm approved and scheduled for November 3rd! I don't think reality of it has set in yet , I planned soooo much and worried so much about getting approval now that I am I feel like I haven't learned enough and a whole new fear/excitement has sets in. I'm ready for the surgery to be over and the weight to come off!

I feel the same way Elode. I did so much research in the beginning, but now I feel like I learned nothing and I am totally unprepared.

I do however have several lists going...my "before" list my "after" list...my pre op diet lists, my post op diet list...a few puree food recipes I found around here.

I'm very nervous but extremely excited at the same time.

Yay for us.
