@kittymom. I'm in Richmond Virginia. I don't have a date but I do know they have submitted all of my paperwork. Good luck to you. Who is doing your surgery ?

I am having my surgery @ Spotsylvania Regional Hospital. Dr Jamal.

Thank you for the well wishes. My approval came pretty quick, I'm sure you'll have yours in no time. Good Luck!

Yeeesss me! I got approved for surgery so quick took like a month because I had several doctor records trying to lose weight since middle school and all failed so now I'm 25 and scared as crap bc my support group is small as well as my support team but I know that it's within myself where my support really relies on. But my surgery is September 20th 2016, yaaaay let's get it!!!

Melanie 89 Im in Atlanta Ga, USA, My insurance is covering my bcs I have High blood pressure also and sleep Apnea. But Like you Im so nervous and not sure whats going on my weight has gone up now that Im getting close to surgery and its not like im eating more I went to the doctor today and I was told that it was due to anxiety that triggers the gain weight... so Im keeping my fingers crossed

Hi etorres - this is my first time on the site, so forgive any obvious mistakes. My surgery is scheduled for September 12. I, too, am excited, nervous, and sometimes even afraid. I'm sure this is normal, but when you're going through it it's awful! Do you have to do the two week pre-surgery diet? I think I'm more afraid of that then anything. So afraid it will be so hard for me that I'll give up. Good luck to you and I'll be standing by for more posts from you.

Good Morning All!! So I am hoping to find a group of September Surgery Buddies here!! I was originally scheduled for August 4th, and then due to the surgeon's conflicting scheduling (a scheduling error I'm sure) and my already standing Labor Day Weekend plans, we postponed until September 28, 2016...

Currently, I am not on any "diet" per se, but I am doing my best to eat "clean", and I have started to workout as well.. I figured I might as well get into the habit before the surgery. Hope to hear from you all soon!! Take care!!

I start my 2 wks pre surgery diet Sept 5th. I've cut out all sweets (my big downfall has always been my sweet tooth!) and am down to very little caffeine already. I would normally have alot of coffee with sugar & cream in the mornings. Now I have a cup with splenda & cream and then a cup black. Also was a huge diet pepsi drinker and am trying to just drink Water. At the most I'm having 1 can of soda a day now. Ik the 2 wks thing will be difficult but I'll stick to it. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he patiently answered all my questions. He seems very nice. My surgery is Sept 19th. I have been working on this all summer and am both scared and excited.

Hey you! I got my surgery date of Sept.6th 2016. I am excited but nervous as well. There isn't much of a support group here where I live and hoping that this group will help.

I have been thinking a lot about the changes that we are all about to take and I know this is the best decision we are making because this means that we are making a difference for our self. Do not let nobody put you down or make u fell bad. A lot of changes are coming. ARE U PREPARE????

I am definitely physically prepared and exhausted but emotionally I have been shedding tears (and I'm not a crier, I take Zoloft and that basically makes you emotionless). So I find it weird that I am teary...maybe because my longest relationship is going to be ending. Maybe?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
