I'm waiting on Aetna to above me. My dr says Aetna and Cigna are the hardest to get approved. I'm hopeful I have a tentative date for October 21.

I suffer the similar health issues. I should get approved. Much luck!

I've been postponed twice, my "new" date is 9/19. I'm probably the only freak on the planet super excited about starting the liquid diet since I've had my hopes dashed and had to rework my life around the changing dates.

Bring on 9/19 and a new way of life!

I've postponed my surgery twice, too; I thought I was the only one!! My date is 9/15, and I can't wait. The first time (May), I was on day 13 of the liquids-only pre-op diet and had a horrible chest cold. Anesthesia called for my pre-op consultation and said no way were they taking me to surgery the next day! Because of personal stuff and such, I rescheduled for July 21 only to have to cancel due to a family emergency; that time, I was only on day 6 of the pre-op diet, LOL! I am psyched to get started, and have no qualms at ALL about that pre-op diet- I've GOT THAT!!

@@Wmmarie we are sleeve sisters - I'm scheduled for the 19th as well! Now I just need to get through a few more hoops: EKG, pre-op exam and the dreaded pre-op liquid diet. Right now I'm trying to knock off the 2 lbs I gained after my qualifying appointment - sigh. I cannot wait for the 19th though, so ready for this!

Hello! The tune is going quickly. I start my pre op diet on 9/4. I am ready. Making lists of last minute questions for the surgeon and what to pack. Very real now.

I have an appointment Tuesday for my surgical clearance from my primary, then I can get my date scheduled. They said sometimes you get a date less than two weeks away. I need to be healed enough to spend a day at a wedding on the tenth or schedule after the twelfth. I can't wait til I just find out my date so I can make plans.

I'm struggling today - ate like I haven't eaten in weeks. Going to have a couple of days of shakes to get myself back on track. Happily I have realized that I never want to feel this full and gross from food again and that I much prefer the way of eating that I've developed during the leadup to surgery.

I'm suppose to have a date for September but the lady that handles the insurance part just has my file sitting on her desk while she takes a vacation! Why couldn't she do it before hand it wasn't like she didn't have it for two weeks already! I want to cry, I know impatient but the suspense is killing me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
