Submitted my paperwork with my surgeon and it is being sent off to my insurance. They gave me a tentative date for 4/20 at 7 AM!!! Both my pre-op appt and hospital registration appointments are set too. Totally stoked and excited and nervous!

Any one else having their surgery and/or tentatively scheduled your sleeve surgery for around 4/20ish? Would love to hear from ya, if so!

I'm scheduled for April 19th!!! Good luck to you!!!

I'm on 4/21. I'm getting this done at UChicago, and my doc just has me on a very restrictive pre-op diet. I think it hits the same calories and nutrients as the liquid diets do, but we eat solid food as normal. Very high protein, very low cal, very low fat and carbs. It's...unpleasant, but now I'm looking at as a challenge. If people can fast for a month, I can do this.

I'm in the burbs Tracie! My day is the 20th. All liquid for me. Have a low cal snack for me right now if you can. Day 2 and I'm already so sick of these shakes I could barf!

I'm also dealing with possible bronchitis! My surgery is scheduled for April 26th. I have a doctors appointment with my PCP on Monday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't too bad. I'm going in for pre-op testing on Wednesday. Resting as much as possible and getting in as much water as I can.

Yep! University of Chicago. I didn't like the program at my hometown hospital. I wasn't impressed with the support staff and the surgeon seemed like an a-hole. I LOVE UC

Who's getting excited?!

I'm starting to panic, today starts my 10 day countdown, yikes!!!

I'm set for 4/13 ...no time yet. Started my program in May 2015 so it's been a long process. The nice part is that there is no pre op diet per say. Only Clear liquids the day before. Even I can do that. . . Jello counts.

I'm April 13 as well, with only one day of clear liquid. I'm relived because I've heard so many that have had to go two weeks with clear liquids before surgery. Let me know how your surgery goes.

How did you make out @@BillsMafia? I'm home and feeling awful. Hope you're doing well.

When did you start your process? Did your ins co have any requirements ?

@@mskittykat03 I'm feeling really good, just a little soreness. I'm not taking any pain/nausea meds. I'm sorry you're not feeling good. Each day will get better!

Anesthesia is not my friend. That's what caused my issues. Incisions are not bad, intake is awful. Can't manage much. Better than yesterday so you are right it will get better.
