When is your December 2015 surgery date for RNY/Gastric Bypass?

I'm scheduled for 2 December 2015 in Brugge, Belgium

If anyone is interested, there is a December 2015 support group on Facebook. I'm not the founder or an admin, but we have a great group of people right now. The group is "closed" or maybe "secret" but just message me here and I'll send you the link if you like.

Hello ladies, just got my insurance approval today. My RNY is scheduled for Dec. 21! Merry Christmas to me!

@@cocoa8utter, Congratulations! My surgeon doesn't work past December 16th or so. So if my insurance snags, I could be pushed into next year.

Speaking of, My decision should be coming down this week...since surgery is next week!

I'm having gastric bypass at the end of December - December 29th. I'm really nervous about being on my pre Op diet for Christmas, but I've enjoyed too much food every other Christmas so I hope it'll be just fine. I'm glad I won't have to recover and miss Christmas so the 29th is awesome. Best. Gift. Ever.

@@cocoa8utter Welcome! What a great Christmas present

@ I hope you get the decision soon!! The anticipation is the worst.

@@cookarue I got permission to eat some at Thanksgiving during my liquid pre-op, but it's a slippery slope for me and I ate the next day and a bit the next... Really bad - I have poor self control with food but yesterday and today have been Clear liquids and I've been good. Ready for surgery tomorrow!

I'm so glad for your surgery tomorrow. That's just too exciting!

So excited for you, God bless your surgery and surgeons and your speedy recovery. Lord willing, mine is this Friday, ugh, but anxious to get this over with.

Good luck tomorrow, Kirsty! Can't wait to hear how your surgery goes. ????

Good luck with your surgery today Kirsty!!

I am still trying to navigate this platform. It's not easy to simply reply to a post, is it? I ordered my bariatric vitamins and protein from unjury.com

I find it hard to contain myself with eating right now, this mindset of "just one last pizza", "just my last chicken wings" etc is so stupid, can't wait for my pre-op diet to start.

Cocoa8utter I totally get that "one last"! Well, I just had my one last slice of cake. It was the teensiest peice of cake I could cut. My coworkers were having a farewell party for one of the interns. But I swear that really is my last peice of cake. I actually feel really guilty about it now and wish I had not eaten it.

To Amy n Cocoa...a little advice from a sleever who'll revise to gbp Friday, Lord willing. Don't think of anything as"one last", bc if you do, you'll only want it more. It's not like you'll never eat it again, itll just be "one last" time that it'll be that much of it in one sitting. The mind can be an ugly thing with the tricks it can play but we are in control of those thoughts and too can play tricks back. So keep telling yourselves, it's a life style change starting with smaller amounts, not zero amounts. I hope that made sense, im on my 10 day liq preop and my mind says give it a rest:)). But gl and know that IT'S THE LAST BIG PIECE of whatever, not the last piece; ). Gl

@@cocoa8utter I had a "food funeral" for about a month and a half but amazingly I didn't gain or lose weight. I think it's because I kind of starved myself and binged on all the sh** I knew I'd miss. Horrible pattern, I know, but it's over now!!!

@@DeezJeanz Best wishes on your surgery today!!!!!!!!! I hope you have good pain meds and get some great rest! Don't forget to walk when they allow you to.

Thank you everyone for your well-wishes! I'm catching up on blogging so y'all can read the deets!
