Hey my surgery is on May 14th... Starting my preop diet on Friday

Hello, I'm scheduled Tuesday May 5th for pre registration, assessment, and a nutrition class, then I go see my surgeon May 15th prior to my surgery May 18th. I'm in SC, I'm very nervous, scared, excited, and just ready to get this show on the road. I haven't had to do any pre op dieting thus far, not sure what will happen when I go next Tuesday, but I will surely let everyone know. Good luck everyone, and let's all support each other on this new journey.

Hey my surgery is on May 14th... Starting my preop diet on Friday

mine is scheduled for the 13th

My date is May 11! Excited but little nervous!

Right here... 5/12/15!

Hi There!

I have my last appt with my surgeon on May 1 and my last pre-op appt...my surgery date is May 13th! I am so excited and a tiny bit nervous!

Scheduled for May 15th! Has anyone started their pre-op diet yet?

@@sleeved2015, I just started mine today. My surgery is scheduled for May 12th. It's not so bad so far. I was already drinking a Protein shake every morning for Breakfast, and a low carb/low cal frozen meal for lunch. Just have to substitute dinner for a Protein Shake. My energy level is what I am most concerned about. Going from 1480 calories to no more than 900. Whew! I might not be a very pleasant person to be around over the course of the next two weeks!

.My rocky road adventure with my insurance is ongoing. I was scheduled for my sleeve for May 4th, but last week on my 5th day into my liquid diet, Aetna once again threw a roadblock at me due to a technical problem. I needed 3 visits with my surgeon at least 90 days apart and my last visit was scheduled for day 90. The surgeon had something come up and asked me to come in the day before which was fine with me, neither of us realizing it was day 89. Aetna said nope, that's not cool, cancel the surgery! We were all like... REALLY?? Long story short, I couldn't schedule a second last visit with my surgeon until May 14 and he tentatively scheduled my surgery for May 20th. (I had my EGD today and they found a hiatal hernia. No biggie, surgeon will fix it.) After I got home my Navigator called to say Aetna called her to "check on my progress moving towards surgery". I guess she gave them an earful since they're the ones who have impeded my "progress" for months on end with their ridiculous BS. Maybe May 20th will be my day. I've stayed on my liquid diet and plan to stick with it since I'm used to it now. If nothing else, the pounds are melting away.
