I started my 6-month appointments on 4/1 and finished them on 9/8. At that appointment, the surgical coordinator at my doc's office scheduled surgery for 9/24. He then submitted the paperwork for approval from the insurance company. Got a call today that the insurance company approved the surgery - so I'm all set for next Thursday. I've been on a liquid diet since 9/10 and so far, so good - though I know I'm not getting close to my 1,000 calories in. Honestly, it's all happening so quickly that I'm waiting for a monkey wrench to play into the mix.

I'm excited/nervous/etc. Who's having surgery with me next week and where are you located? I'm having my surgery at NYU in NYC.

Mine is on 9/23 at ECMC in Buffalo. Nervous/excited is how I feel too.

I'm on the 23rd in Kansas City Ks. Nervous. Excited...worried

I have mine on 9/25

I am having mine on September 23rd!!

I have to push mine off. I had an endoscopy today and my stomach and esophagus are filled with ulcers. I'd rather be healthy than have more of a risk - so I'll wait patiently.

My surgery is 9/21 and I'm shocked about how calm I am. Mine is band to sleeve revision and I'm in Dallas????

Surgery scheduled 9/22! The liquid diet is a beast, getting a little easier, and today when I weighed in at my pre-op visit I was down 6 pounds from last week. Hanging in there, only a few more days to go!

I'm having surgery on the 23rd!!!!!

Mine is on the 21st! I'm nervous and excited!!

I am new to this group and have surgery the 23rd also

Mine is Sept 23 osu Columbus Ohio

My surgery is Wednesday the 23rd! ????

The 22nd!

Tomorrow is my pre-op appointment and surgery is Tuesday the 22nd. I'm so ready and excited but a little nervous. I'm finally going to start a new chapter of living a healthy lifestyle. Please keep me in your prayers..
