Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

@mykdzmom - Haven't heard from you lately! How are you doing??

@@Nursejlcox seriously?!?!

Yep, not a hospital...you?

Yes. The hospital in rowlett.

I am in a situation at work that I need to be scheduled a certain day. At first it was June 3. Then some other staff made changes and now I need it to be June 1 or I will have to wait until July. I'm hurrying to get everything done so it can be submitted to insurance. But I am getting nervous. Ugh!

My date is set!!! June 18th. Excited...nervous...scared...but mostly EXCITED!!!

Seminar January 26th, completed 3 months requirement, insurance approval, surgery set for June 23rd! Have lost 30 lbs since january on weight mgmt. Ready for surgery but nervous too. Never had any type of surgery before

New to this forum, just got a surgery date of 6/1. Been on a pre op of 2 shakes and a no fat, no carb meal since beginning of May. Can't wait for this surgery, tired of being hungry! Nothing left to do but wait. I've been so tired, hard to bring myself to excersise. Has anyone else dealt with 8 weeks pre-op? My doctor does this with every patient. How do I get energy?

Oi Vey! An 8 week pre-op? Yikes! I have heard of 4 week but not 8. I will pray for you! My doctor is having me do a 2 week 40 carb a day diet. Hang in there! It will be worth it to start your new life.

Thank you, I can use all the prayer I can get! This is hard, but I know it will be worth it in the end.

Met with the surgeon on Tuesday and he told I've been approved. Just need a clearance from PCP and a new cardiac clearance. Hopefully everything stays on track to still have surgery in June. He also warned that I can't gain any weight, or he won't do the surgery. So I decided to start the pre-op diet. Best of luck.

Just got my Date June 10th! So excited!

It's official!! Approval came in and I'm on the schedule for June 2! Yikes - this is getting very, very real.

I'm having my sleeve done June 3rd and I CAN'T wait. I've seen my psychiatrist and nutritionist and will start my liquid diet on Wednesday! Scared but very excited.

June 3rd for me.... woohoo!!!

I had my second weigh-in this morning. -19.2 so far! Next week I have all my pre-op testing, which includes blood work, an ekg, a chest X-ray, and an abdominal ultrasound. Then I have to do the endoscopy and I have my final weigh-in on June 15th. Then I'll finally get to meet with the surgeon! This has been so much more involved than I was expecting. It looks like I'll probably be getting a July date instead of June. I can't wait!
