So I've seen not many of you from cali. But at the moment I'm waiting on the appointment with the dietician. My consultation was with dr. Coats and I was basically approved for all these appts. I did all the appts last year but just didn't go through with it.. even though I'm still a little scared, I really Wanna get this done. I think I'm more scared of the fact tht I hv to buy all these new things and might not even like thm! Still hv a lot of questions?

RNY, just because I've looked up all 3 and I just dnt want to hv to get one of the other ones and then something go wrong and hv to do bypass one later. And question wise I feel like I'm 100% to get it but still, I'm worried about the stages and the eating. and I just wanted to know how everyone else has done. Been reading lots of post, and I know a couple of people tht has gotten done and they say they wouldn't change it for the world. Tht if they had the chance to get it done again would deff do it.

I got notice this afternoon from my bariatric surgeon's office that my insurance company has approved my procedure. Authorization only took 3 days. Now I am waiting for surgical scheduler to call and discuss dates.

Still hard to believe that in 2015 I will be thinner and healthier.

How long did the whole process take for you to get to this point?

From my initial bariatric forum to my insurance auth was about w months. The day after I received authorization I was scheduled for surgery. My date is January 19 @ 7:30am.

I have my preop appointment with surgeon on dec 18th. Then I meet w the dietitian on Jan 5 for preop diet instructions. Then I will begin a 2 week high Protein liquid diet to help shrink the liver. I am very excited and not nervous at all

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
