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!

Hi I'm having my bypass on July 13th. I can't wait to drop the weight. I'm on my shakes and not really living them but I have to do what needs to be done. Best of luck with your surgery.

Thanks so much. It's surreal. Everything feels so different. Can't wait to be home and feel somewhat normal.

Hi,

I have a July 13 operation date too.

Some quick background on me just for context. I'm a 42 year-old male living in AZ. My peak weight was 338 in April 2014.

I started my 6-month PCP supervised diet in December 2014, when I weighed 326.

At the end of the diet in June 2015, I weighed 265, so I've lost around 70 since my peak.

I'm halfway through the 2-week liquid diet, and it's as miserable as everyone says it is, so I'm glad that we're all in agreement on that.

The first two days were the worst, and I almost quit. I didn't quit, and now the diet sucks less. Still not great, but the Bariatric Advantage shakes seem to do the trick. Also I get one BA bar per day, and all the sugar free jello and sugar free Popsicles I can stand. Yay jello!

Good luck to you all! Go July!

I had my sleeve done yesterday. I've been very sleepy from the anesthesia and in some pain, but it's manageable. Toughest is drinking. I get a cramping sensation and I can feel the air moving around.

I just did three laps in the corridors to get the gas moving.

I'm July 13th too.

I'm July 13th too.

My no food pre surgery headache is killing me today. I can't seem to function........

Hi guys,

I've joined the Google group mentioned earlier but I couldn't figure out how to find the FB group. This is the link to another closed FB July group if anyone's interested
