Oh my goodness I'm local as well I'm having mine at Gwinnett Medical Center on June 30th 2016. I've been trying to find somebody in the area that's having that done the same month so we can keep in touch would you be interested? I have to start my 2-week liquid diet on the 16th of June. It consists of five shakes a day and any sugar-free fluids that are on the list.

I would LOVE that! I've been looking for someone going through the same thing as well. I live in Chatsworth, GA near Calhoun. I'm a type 2 diabetic which is what has put my weight on and I'm hope the surgery will reverse my diabetes. I have 2 kids. My son is 5 and has Autism. And my daughter is 11. I've been married for 10 years. This is a big life change for sure

I'm scheduled for the 22nd. Got a call from anthem yesterday saying I needed another month of diet & exercise. They needed documentation for June to complete the six months. Made another appt with my primary for this Friday. Anthem said everything else looked great and that I should be approved by the end of the day Monday. I was hoping to avoid this insurance turmoil. Fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly from here.

I am getting so excited. Pre op testing tomorrow morning and surgery Wednesday morning. It seemed like 2 weeks would never end when I started the liquid diet and now I am so close. I am packing tonight and shopping for post op supplies too. Just trying to keep my mind distracted. Other good news is that my replacement fit bit came in today! I have missed it this past week.

[JenniferPenelope 23]

Today is my one week surgiversary. I have lost over 9 pounds in the last week and more than 27 pounds since the beginning of my pre-op diet!

[tagyourit 53]

@@cb11 I have only lost about 7 pounds in the liquids. I was on my ToM for some of that and feel that did not help things!!!

Hi June buddys Hope everyone is doing well. I met with the surgeon who will be doing my hernia repair as part of my procedure. 9 more days for me. I am definitely having a nesting instinct thing going on.

Feeling good so far. I'll be 2 weeks post op on Wed. I'm waiting to get on the scale at my post op visit this Thursday but I can tell I'm losing!

[KS611 28]

I am 2 days away from surgery! Trying to get things done and in order. Plus trying to keep my mind busy! So excited, yet nervous too!

I finally made it! Surgery is tomorrow morning!!! As of this morning, I've lost 20 lbs on the 9 day clear liquid diet. I've lost 10 inches from waist alone. I didn't plan what I was going to have each day, but I ended up having 1-2 sugar free Jello cups per day, 1-2 sugar free popsicles, 1 cup broth with different seasonings, and then a ton of Water each day. I'm honestly not hungry or looking for food, it gets easier! *Different surgeons always have different pre-op diets for people to follow. Mine was so strict because I have fatty liver disease and we wanted to shrink it as much as possible!

I'm having my hair blown out at the salon this afternoon so I don't have to worry about it. I'll be in the hospital for 4 days, my surgeon always does them on Wednesdays and releases patients on Saturdays. Packing this afternoon and calling the hospital to get my actual arrival time; it doesn't feel real yet!
