March 24, 20179 yr I am excited, I have a surgery date of June 19. Thought it would take weeks or maybe even months to get approval.
March 24, 20179 yr Thats great, i found out today that if everything goes to plan I will be having mine 13. june.
April 3, 20179 yr Yay! That's great! The way things are shaping up, I should have a June date as well!!
April 5, 20179 yr June is when I'm hoping it happens for me as well. Still have just a few more things to do, but quitting smoking, the NUT appt and the psych are the main ones still to do. Quitting smoking has been HARD!!!!!!!
April 24, 20179 yr Oh gosh! My surgeon's office won't be submitting to my insurance until the first part of June. I soooooo hope and pray I get a surgery date in June. My insurance rolls over for the new year on July 1. That means I'll have to fork over the co-pay and deductible if I don't. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 1, 20179 yr I'm June 2nd. Tomorrow is my endoscopy which is my final clearance and then all I have left is ultrasound at the surgeon's office and pre-op testing. I'm so excited/anxious/nervous.
May 1, 20179 yr I am May 8th as it is a revision from lapband to gastric bypass. The insurance approved in 72 hours ! Surgery on Monday!! I am happy I have had so many complications.
May 2, 20179 yr So when is everyone starting their liver shrinking diet, my surgery is on the 13th and need to start around 20th may. And what sort of diet are you going on? I have the option of doing shakes, but also they offer a mealplan that is crispbread with toppings and then a protein meal (fish, chicken etc.) at dinner. Not so keen on that, it is a bit danish/swedish oriantated. My doctor used to work there before he came here and his information booklet is based on that. The nutrionist said they are working on changing that, because Icelanders are not as fond of this type of food as the other nordic countrys, also the selection here is not as good and don't sell as low caloric/low fat option as in the other countrys. The toppings are mostly like liverspread and canned fish. Thinking of doing they shakes.
