I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

@@Spicy06 i feel you that's all i can think about i start my liquid diet on March 16th remember skinner healthier you.... you can do it

@@Spicy06 I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet. Not gonna lie....day 3 was rough. I was very...angry...is the nice way to put it! Lol! Now I'm ok. I don't get hungry and i feel like I have energy. I think the excitement of knowing what's to come helps override any hunger...at least it does for me! Well that and sleep. I go to bed super early so I don't get hungry. Don't worry! You'll do great!

Got the call today. Insurance approved 1st try. My surgery is set for March 11th.

• I just got some disappointing news today. My Doctor decided he needed to take 3 weeks off. Which, it just so happens to fall right when my surgery was scheduled. Now, I'm rescheduled for March 24th. Also...I have already started the pre-surgery diet...grrr. Which means I'm on it a week longer. I hope I have the strength to stay on it. The 1,000 calories or less per day is very hard on my poor old brain. Everyone around me is going to have to deal with me being ditzy for one more week.

My surgery date is March 4th. It's amazing how time flies; will be here before you know it. So excited!

Called insurance today and I was approved for surgery on Feb 18th! I should be having my surgery next month!

Getting close to my surgery date and I'm so nervous! The funny thing is that I'm not as nervous about the surgery as I am the anesthesia. I've never been put under general anesthesia.

I'm March 9 too!!!

March 2nd surgery date.

@Lrckey0610 I havent either, I am also nervous about that part!!

I'm set for March 10th. Starting to get nervous and tons of things running through my head. Start my liquid diet on the 24th. Recommendations for good protein shakes?
