I am scheduled for April 14th. I'm pretty nervous because I just decided last week to see the Dr about this and here I am scheduled. If you pay cash, you don't have to wait.

Hello everyone.

I've been trying to get approved since January. My insurance doesn't require 6 month pre-op but they have been giving my surgeon the run around for a little over a month now since they submitted. I spoke to them today and they hope to get a final answer some time next week. If all goes well I can be going in as soon as April 18th. I'm so excited. Only nervous because I am no good at waiting for an answer so it's been driving me crazy to sit around for almost 2 months now.

Crossing all of my fingers and toes!

Good luck to all of you that are scheduled or in the process!!

My date is March 30th which is 10 days away. I started this journey on Feb 1st but I am self pay. I had to do an upper GI and talk with a dietician over the phone. I am struggling with no alcohol, no cigs and mostly liquids. My doc said to have 2-3 protein shakes and one light meal per day. The hardest part for me is the mental part. I get mad at myself for allowing myself to get this big and have to resort to removing most of my stomach. I have been grouchy some too. Food funerals before my pre-op diet started last Wednesday. I keep going back and forth in my mind but when I see a photo of me or catch myself in the mirror, there is no question about doing the surgery. Again, the psychological part is the hardest and I don't find that much online about it. Anyone else having these feelings?

Hi Gina, I have the same issues with head side, a tough road but I agree surgery is a new beginning and a wonderful opportunity to change the way we interact with food. One common theme I hear from everyone, is I can't wait. Me too, because living like this is like a 24hr prison cell body. I'm so grateful for this support site I was starting to second guess my decision, but really its this or continue to the bmi I can't even fathom. My surgery is April 21. I'm starting pre open April 1. So my food funerals have been in high swing. Strangely I haven't put on an ounce. I am completely concerned about head hunger stuff post open too. But I keep reminding myself about the 30k Ill be spending. Hopefully that will add some restraint. I think Things will be great, good luck and ty so much for sharing its great to know we all share similar fears and are not alone [emoji4]
