Interested to see the awesome group that will be going through this journey with me at the same time. Please reply so that I can follow your journey as well. My last weigh in is on April 15 and surgery date will either be May 11 or May 18.

For those of you who have started the liquid diet, how are you doing? I start mine tomorrow and I'm very nervous! I go for final bloodwork today and then the 2 week journey to surgery begins!!

Is anyone on the East Coast? I'm in Delaware.

I started mine yesterday...Nothing but fun..lol. It's going OK so far can't imagine how I will feel in 2 weeks..

Morning,

I started liquids last Monday

- so far so good!

I just got the call I've been waiting for! My surgery is scheduled for May 18th!

(First post here).

Last pre-op appointment or class is going to be on April 29th - the big day is May 5th! I'm excited, scared, overwhelmed, nervous, ready for it to be over!

Got the approval today from the insurance company. I'm scheduled for May 12. Start my liquid diet next week. I'm so nervous about that. This weekend I will shop for everything I need. I love this site. Let's all continue to support each other. My name is Missy I'm from Ny

So I kind of feel bad for some of youall and a little confused... My surgery is scheduled for may 14th. I see a ton of you being put on a 2 week liquid diet my doctor only makes his patients do a 1 week liquid diet... Just wondering should I feel lucky or concerned?

I got the call this morning telling me that my surgery is scheduled for May 13th. My pre op appt with the surgeon is on May 5th. It'll be at the Florida Medical Center in South Florida. I can't believe it's so close. I've been working on this journey for almost a year and to finally tell me that we got the go ahead is unbelievable.

Congrats to all of you that have gotten your surgery date! That is so exciting!

It is nice to have this support group to share the journey. We can share our fears, our experiences and thoughts as we go along the journey.

Matthew282, here in Delaware, we are required to be on the 2-week liquid diet for some reason. They say that the insurance companies are now requiring it. I am having a revision from band to sleeve. I was banded in 2008 and wasn't required to do any type of pre-surgery diet, so it's all new for me too.

I start tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be on here looking for support!! =) We can do this! Here's to a healthier, more active life!

Maybear,

Makes sense I am in essence a self pay.. My insurance is crap when it comes to bariatric procesures...so I don't have all those company hoops to jump through... so explains why I only have a week.. My Dr here in Texas has good reviews and medical standings just kind of made me think why I only doing a week...

So far I've lost 15 pounds during this 6 month journey and have already experienced hair loss. I'm concerned it will get worse after surgery. Anyone going through same thing?

Looks like you've collected quite a group already, but this is my first time on the board. I'm slated for May 26. Can't wait!

May 5th! So excited!

Im not sure if Ill be May or June but Im so ready to get going on this journey!!!

@@CandyCrushVSG Can I please be added to the facebook group I have the same user name as I do on here.

Hello all

I am scheduled for surgery on May 6th. I am scheduled for pre-op visit with my Doctor in two weeks and final pre-op labs that same day. I am anxious to get this done as it has been a long journey getting to this point. I am having my surgery done at Kaiser South Bay in California.

Im also in Cali!!! Yeay!!
