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????

Good luck to all of you next week! I'm hoping and praying I get my insurance approval next week!!

I have my final pre-op insurance appt june 5th so I'm hoping to be approved for a late June date!!! The sixth months have been so slow but it's finally here!!!!

I am so glad I just found this site! My first appointment/consultation was just May 14. My surgery is already scheduled for June 15 (I am self pay, sort of) I haven't had to do all of the insurance required things so, man, everything is happening fast. I just have to do my EDG tomorrow and meet with my dietitian on the 1st after that I am ready to go. I am glad that it is all happening so fast because it really hasn't given me a chance to slow down and become anxious about it.

I just found out my surgery date moved up a day from the 9th to the 8th!

I have gotten the approval and am scheduled for June 8. I never anticipated that the pre-op diet would be so difficult. I can have 3 protein shakes and veggies. I am suffering from serious headaches and drinking tons of water (70 oz per day). I have 9 more days of this diet and 2 days of clear protein diet before surgery. This is really tough!

@@work2Bskinny If you weren't doing a high protein low carb diet before the liquid diet your headaches may be caused by your body entering ketosis. Basically going from a glucose (sugar) based metabolism to a ketone (fat) based metabolism. If all goes well they should subside soon. Good luck!

I'm June 2 as well!! Can't believe it's just around the corner!! Good luck to you!!

Was thinking last night, this whole process is a lot like being pregnant. All the doctor appointments, the food cravings during pre-op, the nesting and preparing at home, and the nerves as it gets closer.

But this time, I'm the one getting a new start on life!

Less than 3 days, and counting...nervous, scared and excited for great things to come!

So I have hit a stall in my pre op diet. The doc wanted me to lose 35 lbs before surgery. I have been stuck at 29 lbs for the last week.... I have my pre op appointment on Monday and surgery on the 15th. I guess that should give me enough time to lose the six lbs. But I am kind of nervous of what the surgeon is going to say on Monday when I see him.

I am so ready to be done with the liquid pre-op diet lol Monday can't get here!!

I'm in your range. Hopefully. I only have 1 pre-op screening visit left. Then final approval and (I pray) surgery scheduled. Good luck everyone.

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved this week!! I hope everything goes well for you!!

Today's the day! Hope everyone is doing well...

I have gotten the approval and am scheduled for June 8. I never anticipated that the pre-op diet would be so difficult. I can have 3 protein shakes and veggies. I am suffering from serious headaches and drinking tons of water (70 oz per day). I have 9 more days of this diet and 2 days of clear protein diet before surgery. This is really tough!

I just completed 14 days of the pre-op diet. I was allowed 3 protein shakes per day and unlimited water or chicken/beef broth or sugarfree popsicles. My surgery was scheduled for today. Unfortunately, my husband got very ill last night and was admitted to the hospital two hours before my surgery was to start. Fortunately, my husband is doing a little better and we are hopeful for a full recovery. My doctor rescheduled my surgery for me at no additional cost (which is great because I am self paying -- insurance would not pay for any type of bariatric surgery under any conditions.) Now I have 8 more days of the pre-op diet for a total of 22 days on it! But, it's okay. As long as my husband gets better, I can deal with the diet. (It does get easier after about 8-10 days as your body gets used to the diet.) Good luck with your pre-op diet and surgery!

Wow Gina! Good luck to you and your husband!
