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.

@@KS611 I had a band for 6 years and had it removed last year. I am nervous and excited too!

ON a side note- Things just got real! I looked at my calendar and realized that I have less than a week left to wait!!!!!!!!! I hope it flies by. SO ready to start this new adventure!

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.

how much did you lose in 2 weeks... i start my liquids thursday

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!

@@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!

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!
