Hello, Everyone!

My date is April 21st and at 7:30a.m.

I am also 5' 5" tall. Seems to be quite a common height on here ☺️

My highest weight was 298 and as of today I am down to 273. I am quite happy about it because due to the weight lost beyond 5% I only have to do 8 days of full liquid diet and one day of clear liquids the day before surgery.

My surgeons office sent my paperwork to my insurance on the 20th so now I just sit (or walk) and wait to find out whether they are going to authorize this or not. I am terrified they won't approve me right away and I will have to fight them. I already have leave approved and everything in place.

I am so happy to have the people here to talk with!

Good job on your weight loss.!!!! I'm still working on mine. :-(

I'm April 21st also. I don't have a time yet, hopefully I'll get that on the 8th & m6 surgery won't be pushed back.

Good luck, keep in touch .

Surgery the 24 th! Keep me in your prayers! For no complications

Praying for you & everyone !

My Lap RNY is scheduled on April 14. i am soo nervous. I am 5 feet tall and weigh 290. No preop diet required, just clears the night before. Good luck to all!

Good luck, you got this !!! Prayers for calmness.

I don't understand why some ppl don't have to do the liquid diet and others do. I am on day 2 and ready to eat my fist ????

Keep pushing through it sweetie, it won't be easy but it will get better.. I'm on day... Hell idk, but my surgery is on the 8th so I'm excited.

I'm having my surgery this Monday 4/6 :) I've been on a liquids only diet since 03/23/15 and I can't wait for it to be over LOL

Good luck everyone :)

I am doing terrible on my liquid diet ???? I am tired of smelling all the delicious food my family is eating ????. 3 more days of torture and no more cheating I swear ????

Hello everyone

I am suppose to have my surgery in the morning (Good Friday) at 7:15 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am. I'm hoping everything goes well. I had a heart attack in October 2014. They were some concerns about the CABG. Around 4:30 pm I got a call telling me that my white blood cell count was elevated when I did a blood tests. I have COPD and had been sick.

So wish me well. I will let everyone know how it turns out. If my date changes I will let you know. Congratulations to all April new journeymen (an women). Good Luck and speedy recovery to all.

Good luck, best wishes for a successful safe procedure tomorrow. Be sure and let us know how you're doing afterward!

I got my call from the hospital my surgery is at 6 PM Monday. I am pretty sure I pissed someone off to get such a late time but it's fine by me ????
