I'm May 4th!

I have the same date...

I'm May 4th!

We have to stay in touch...

I am May 15th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz.

I began my journey on 2/20, and it looked like it would be a July surgery date to comply with a 3 month WL period. However they approved me (in 1 day) because I had been doing weight watchers and other things prior.

I am all approved (as of 3/25) and they were booked out all of April. So I am ready to roll on 5/4! I have a pre op class that I need to do on 4/15 where they will give me all the post op info, prescriptions, and more pre op details. I do know that I just need to keep up on a lower carb/high Protein diet. I don't have to do liquids until the day before (So Saturday night will be my last meal before Monday's surgery).

So I bumped up a couple months, and it's messed with me too.I am nervous, and I am keeping it quiet to my family. My sister had VSG done 9 weeks ago, and she's trying to talk me out of it. She doesn't think I can do it, and I won't tell them until I've finished the pre op class. My b-day is 4/24 so I am thinking dinner at the Melting Pot as a final indulgent meal.

I'm May 4th!

We have to stay in touch...

DITTO! I am May 4 too!

Hi all I'm from NJ! My surgery is scheduled for May 12! I'm getting all the pre op work done like blood work ekg and endoscope( not looking forward to that) Met with nut last week and scheduled for a pre op education class on 4/14 I'm nervous anxious and scared! Not for the actual surgery but more for the new lifestyle after surgery.

Hello. My name is Mile. my sleever is may 7

I just found out today that my surgery has been approved. Looks like May 6th is the date.. It is hard to believe, I started this whole process 2 1/2 weeks ago and I already have a surgery date. I did not have to do a 6 month WL program.

I am scared and worried that I am going to fail because I have failed so many other diets before. I have thought about this surgery for several years, but not seriously. I was talking to my friend, and I told her, maybe next year I will start looking into it and I thought why am I going to wait a year. So everything has happened so fast. I am very nervous and scared.

I haven't seen any may 6th people, is there anyone out there?

@@jayshann yes! We must! Do you have a liquid diet at all?

Woo-hoo!!! I'm on the 13th with Less of Jess and Katress27!!! :-)

I'm self pay, so the process has been fairly easy for me. (Except for writing out the checks, LOL) I still need to do a barium swallow, EKG, and some labs, but that's it.

I'm in the same BMI group as Rocky1, and our pre-op diets sound very similar, as well. I have four days of Protein shakes, and one day of Clear liquids.
