Actually, it happens to be the day after my birthday, too! Isn't that amazing? We share the same birthday.

I got my date today! August 11th. I live in SC but am going to FL to see Dr Taggar, about 10 hours away.

I'm low bmi, and I tried to go the insurance route, but it didn't work out, so I'm now self pay ($8899). I have really high BP, cholesterol and arthritis. I am definitely not a healthy fat person! I'm an unhealthy "not that fat" person (as some love to say). And I look forward to changing my relationship with food.

I have a ton of work to do, online psych evaluation, visit my PCP for EKG, blood work and clearance. Oh, and do a pre op nutrition class via Facebook live.

No real pre op diet, but I've been doing shakes a few times a day for over a month. I will probably do my own liquid diet a few days ahead of time. I've lost 10# so far.

I have no clue how to navigate this site. Maybe because I'm using a phone? Whatever the case, an FB group would be great! My surgery is 8/28 in NJ. /jb

I will be having my surgery on August the 14th in Corpus Christi.... I am 40 years old. I am nervous and excited.... I just want to be healthy for my family!!

My surgery date is August 3! I'm on day 2 of my 14 day liquid diet and I'm finding it pretty miserable so far. I just can't wait for surgery day and get on with it already.
