Thank goodness my date is Sept 3. Just found out I have high blood pressure & had to start on high cholesterol meds. If ever there was a need for this surgery it's now.

I just found out I was approved by my insurance on Tuesday. So, started the liquid diet Thursday since Wednesday was my 60th birthday. This is day 2 of liquids only and I have a killer headache. I'm sure it's just detoxing but it hurts! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My surgery date is 9-2-15.

Welcome ExcitedNana - just so happens I am a Nana who recently turned 60. My surgery date is Sept 8 and I am very excited! Not looking forward to the pre-op diet, but I will get through it! Wishing you the best!

Turned in my letter of recommendation from my primary care physician today. Dr's office sais it was fine. I only have one more nutrition visit left on September 9th then I'll get a date. Already had my exercise classes, 12 day liquid diet to go also. They say still possible for a late September date still. I hope so. Getting more real to me. Can't hardly stand these last two weeks of waiting. Lol. Very ready to begin my journey and start my new life and start working out and being healthy!

I am the 3rd too! Don't be stressed about those meds! My guess is you wont need them for very long!!!

Hello all,

I just found this thread last night. I'm happy to report that I'm scheduled for 9/14. I just have two visits to the doctors left. A pre op nutrition class and to see the surgeon. It's all a bit surreal. I was on the fence about a date for so long because I did not have the 6 months nutrition but I did have 6 months of weight watchers plus very good doctors notes. I really thought I would be denied but thankfully the coordinator said we have nothing to loose but try so she sent it in August 6th and the day before my birthday I got the news it was accepted. "Happy Birthday to Me"!!!

I just got the call yesterday and I have a surgery date of September 28th. I'm meeting with my doctor next week and have another nutrition appointment in September. Start a two week low carb diet on the 14th.

My first night on this website. My surgery is scheduled for September 2nd. Scared! I had a nightmare last night. I would like to friend some people going through this at the same time.

Thanks
