I am currently preop although I have done all my clearances and have my surgery date (9/21). Just looking for some preop friends to talk with up until (and after) surgery. We could help keep eachother on track diet wise, and could help ease any fears we are having. (we all have those fears that our non-overweight friends or spouses just don't quite get). I am located in upstate NY but I am open to talking to anyone from any location. I do have facebook etc if you prefer chatting that way. Who knows, we may become great friends!

Hi guys! Pre-op here too. I'm 20 years old, so I'm so happy to get this tool while I'm young so I can prevent comorbitities. I live in Maine, and I have my consultation appt in 6 days, so I am very excited to get the ball rolling. My BMI is over 50 at this point, and I have tried so many different weight loss options that (obviously) haven't worked for me. Im so nervous after reading everyones insurance horror stories that i will have the same experience. If anyone is from the New England area and has Community Health Options for insurance, please let me know your experience thusfar and I will do the same once I go through it!

I'm having mine done on the same date as well, from NM. Would love to be your friend ShutterGirl1829

@@mlmanney congratulations on the date!! My preop diet is technically only 3 days but I have tge last 10lbs or so that my surgeon has asked me to lose before surgery that no matter what I do, won't go away (I have lost 30 so far). I talked with my primary Dr about it yesterday at my appointment for surgery clearance and she told me that I am at the point with fast weightloss that my body is trying to play catch up and I will likely struggle to lose the last bit of weight. She recommended that I start my preop diet now in an effort to lose that last bit of weight... Soooo I figured I would start it on Sunday, no part in starting it today because we have a day trip planned to Boston on Saturday.. Would be kind of difficult to do just liquids when traveling... So it looks like we can be preop diet pals.. lol
