I would love to have a surgery buddy!!! Anyone nervous yet?

Dec 15 th!

I have a tentative surgery date of Dec 16th. and I only found this site 5 minutes ago so I was surprised to find a post right away. I've got quite a bit of paperwork to get in order yet, but it should all be sorted.

What are your emotions like right now. I know the waiting is driving me crazy. I am ready, more than ready. I actually struggling with dieting and I don't know why. I'm not eating a ton of food and I have a few days where I'm solidly sticking to my diet. Then I want sushi. I haven't been given an official plan to follow just don't lose more than 20 if I do my bmi won't be high enough and gain nothing or my insurance won't approve. I havent gained but I'm not loosing either. I was hoping to lose 15 before surgery, but I have 46 days I can do it!!!

Dec 14th pending insurance approval. ????

I've only received a 'tentative' surgery date as I recently had a baby and the surgeon hasn't signed off on the surgery yet, though I don't understand why I would have to delay it... I'm not breastfeeding, which was the initial concern.

Gotta do my psych eval Monday, then one more appt with my NUT next month, then submitted to my insurance! According to my surgeon's office, my insurance provider has a history of quick turn around, as far as approvals/denials - so provided everything continues to go as smoothly as it has thus far, my patient navigator tells me to expect mid- to late December! Yay! Happy New Year to me! And to all of you ????

. How is pre op dieting going for you?

I haven't started the liquid pre-op diet my surgeon requires, and my supervised diet required by my insurance has been more of my NUT assigning me homework...like cutting out carbs or eliminating soda from my diet, in preparation for the changes coming for me post op. So far, I've had pretty good results making these gradual changes. How about for you, cookies_queen?

Congrats everyone, mine is Dec 10th. Excited and a lil nervous but also very hopeful

Mine is the 10th as well!

im not on a restricted diet yet. I'm trying to cut carbs and stop drinking while I eat. I can't lose more than 20 lbs or my bmi won't be high enough. I'm looking forward to the pre op diet cause that will mean surgery is soon!
