Yay! We can be surgery buddies lol

I meet with my dr on the 6th... He's probably going to put me on liquids the day after! Are nerves setting in? ????

How cool! Liquids for 7 days? I meet with my dr on the 6th... I wonder how long my pre op diet will be. It seems like everything is happening so fast! I'm getting nervous too!! We should keep in touch to see how everything goes! I wish you the best!

My nerves are definitely setting in. I'm even having dreams.

My liquid diet starts on the 4th. Mentally, I'd like to think I'm prepared for it....But I guess one can never know until it actually happens.

y were u denied 3 times..

I'm scheduled for the 26th

First time because I didn't have 6 monthly consecutive weigh ins, 2nd because they weren't happy with my PCPs notes. He has to rewrite them because they were so "basic". The medical group wanted clear and precise notes. The third time, I really don't know why they denied. I went ahead and called my coordinator and medical group telling them I was very upset about the 3rd denial, I clearly need this! 10 mins later I get a APPROVAL call saying that the Medical Director overturned the decision! What a roller coaster of emotions it has Been!

Yes only 7 days.. Not sure why but I'm happy about it.. Lol. It's happening really fast for me too. I had kinda given up on it all in December.. I hadn't really thought much about the surgery since then until I received a call out of the blue to schedule my surgery last Thursday. Now, that's all I can think about. Yes.. Let's keep in touch
