Just got my date Jan. 6th!! Seems far away but it will be here soon!

Congrats! My date is January 14th. Wish it was December

Well just got back from my appointment and who is down 12lbs? This chick right here and I feel awesome about that I know it is cause I'm basically eating nothing and don't get me wrong I'm STARVING but hey I just know that if I go into surgery with a lower body weight that it means I have less to lose and I think that is something great!

This pre op is so hard!! So proud of your loss!!! Thanks for keeping us all motivated to keep pushing!

Jan 21st here. Anyone in jersey with same date??

I got a call from the coordinator and she submitted my paper work in yesterday for a January date. Wish me luck and a prayer my way.

I am the 20th .. I don't live in NJ, but we can still support each other!

You're right Lkeys. . Its Sooo close, yet Sooo far!!

I had my last appointment today that my insurance required me to do, my coordinator will submit my paperwork in the morning, we are also aiming for a January date. Say a little prayer for me, hoping this process goes through quick. ????

Ooo fingers crossed to all you gals and guys out there waiting for your date. As much as we all want our dates to be closer just consider this time to adopt some healthy eating habits and get right of some bad ones! Rooting for everyone and If anyone is interested I just spent the day sipping on some different broths and soups and found some great ones like mexican tortilla soup, chinese hot and sour and thai chicken. All have a nice kick and changes it up from the shakes. Those are all made from Swanson and if you go to traders joes I found that their Miso soup is great there! kinda pricey though!

My surgery is scheduled Jan 9th! Good luck everyone and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Oh boy had my endoscope yesterday next Tuesday my pre-adm appointment followed by my last NUT appointment all the same day....then drumroll ???????? surgery Jan. 6th aka My Second Chance Birthday!!!! This is getting REAL!!!! ????????????????????

My surgery date is Jan. 5th.

Having surgery at Kaiser Fremont, CA

I meet with Dr. Hahn on Dec. 19 to discuss pre-op and to do some lab work.

Highest weight = 203 lbs

Current weight = 172 lbs

Goal weight = 115 lbs

Wow you only weigh 172 and are going with gastric sleeve? If I can ask why not do the lap band?

Mine is on jan 5th.

My emotions are all over the place, i am so nervous and excited.

How many calories are your preop diet? My doc gave me 1000 calories which i feel is too high.
