Hi everyone-I am so happy to have found this site and have spent hours reading posts! I am tentatively scheduled for gastric bypass on July 6. I have two more weigh ins at my doctors office, A psych eval, a nutrition class to take and a routine gastroscopy on June 3. At this point my main anxiety is due to not knowing if Aetna will approve me--my surgeons office has patients complete everything and they send the file at that point. I could literally find out on July 4 that I haven't been approved ????. I would love to find someone out there who is also scheduled for early July to be a support buddy. I know I'm going to need one and would love to do the same for someone else! Interestingly enough,

I did find out yesterday, I will only be on a three day clear liquid diet pre-surgery and thought that was so odd compared to everything I've read here!

Got it thanks a bunch

Just submitted a request for Facebook

B carter 18 did you submit for the cool beginnings one on FB or the Our July journey FB one. Because I still can't find the Our July Journey FB group is there a link someone can post.
