AHHH! I just found out today that my surgery date is March 16th. 3 weeks from tomorrow.

It all seems so fast. I just started this process with an all day appointment at Mayo Clinic in November, and the time has FLOWN by.

I had my last visit with the psychologist on Friday and she signed off/discharged me then. I got the call from the surgical scheduler today and, I'm not even going to lie, started freaking out a little (okay, a lot).

Anyone else with March dates? My birthday is March 10th, so I can't think of a better way to usher in 33 than a new me.

I'm starting to get more nervous, but I keep telling myself that it's all for the better.

One preop visit, one lab visit, one bypass diet visit and then surgery. I don't know if anyone else has gone to Mayo Clinic, but they do not mess around. I've had to keep a significant food log (with pre and post-meal feelings) since November, had to cut out any alcohol and most caffeine and had to significantly increase exercise in order to be discharged.

Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out here. All of the forums here have been a massive help thus far, and I hope to post/contribute more as I go through the process.

WHEEE!

Thank you

Good luck today @@cendella170

I found out yesterday at 3pm that my surgery is the 15th. Was told to start liquid diet this AM...I'm panicked.

@@nearperfectmess Surgery went well. Still on hospital. Hope to be going home tomorrow.

@@cendella170 how are you doing

Congrats! You can do this. We both can! I am so excited for surgery

@@Titaniumsleeved2014 I am doing well. Still in pain, but getting better. The surgery was over before I knew it and the staff here are wonderful.

That's good to hear the pain will get better.....

I'm scheduled for surgery on March 11th! in excited and nervous at the same time. This 2 week liquid diet which I'm now 5 days into is so far the hard part! I hate the shakes and Vitamins and look forward to the one small meal I'm allowed. I've got to say considering I started out hangry it's getting easier with each passing day! One more week and it will be my day

Hi All! Just got home from the hospital. Surgery was March 1. Everything went well. Small suggestion for you ladies, don't bring an underwire bra to go home in. I felt like I was choking. Lol had to go home without one on. Best of luck to all my fellow March sleevers!!

I am scheduled for March 22nd. However, I have not gotten my final approval from insurance yet, so hopefully that will come soon. I'm getting really antsy here wanting to know if I have been approved!!!
