After 6 long months plus two more because of scheduling conflicts, I finally have my date. Anyone want to buddy?

Close Feb 16

I have a tentative date of Feb 17. Waiting on insurance pre-auth. Looking for a buddy as well... It would be good to compare notes on our journey.

Haven't gotten a date yet looking for insurance approval but it should be close to that! Shooting for the 8th!

My surgery is 2/4/16. I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Reading the various posts gives me reassurance that I can do this!

February 9th for me!! Getting super excited. Started my first week of 3 week preop diet. Working on getting lots of Protein, lots of Water throughout the day, and eating on a schedule to learn how to stop grazing all day long.

Good luck to everyone. I can't wait for success

Mine is Feb 1st. Hoping for no blizzards then! Im in NY and just have pre op to go. Hope we can all share out journeys.. Where is everyone located?

Got my date, it is the 8th! Located in Delaware.. woo!

My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 15. I begin my 2 week liquid diet on Monday. I am really pumped about the surgery, but at the same time I am nervous. I just found out yesterday that the surgeon who was scheduled to do the surgery is no longer with the group effective two days ago. I happened to go into the office yesterday and got the opportunity to meet my new surgeon and I really like him. He is able to perform the surgery on the same day, so I was pleased. Basically, the only change is my pro op appointments.

I would really like to keep in touch and see how you are doing. I wish you all the best!!!

Are you interested in a buddy to go through this with you? I believe all the support we can have will help. Just let me know.

By the way, songsmith, my surgery is taking place in GA.

Started my 2 week pre op liquid diet today. I am using chocolate and strawberry protein shakes (Bariatric Advantage). I had to come up with a schedule to get in all my nutrition, supplements, water, and exercise. Plus I have to account for appointments. I am not hungry at all. Those shakes fill me up! I have already walked once today. I hope to maybe ATTEMPT to hit tennis balls for a little bit with my husband later. Please wish me luck. If anybody wants to be a buddy during this adventure, please let me know.

Need a buddy. Anyone interested?

I will be ur buddy i start my preop diet tomorrow

Me me me! February 15th here!

Started the pre op diet yesterday...needless to say, was not in the best of moods last night and had a major headache! Today is a new day though. I went in for my pre op appointment this morning and I guess that's the last thing, until my surgery on the 15th. I'm ready to get this thing done! Anyone else ready? ????
