Anyone else scheduled for January 2018? I have my surgery scheduled for January 11. I'm having to wait until next year because I had a stent put in back in December 2016. The anesthesiologist won't sign off until I have had the stent for at least a year and am able to come off of Plavix for the surgery.

Found out today that my pre-op diet won't be too bad. I will have protein drinks and still get to eat a lean meat and vegetable each day. I'll find out more at my pre-op with dietitian but was glad to find out it won't be only clear liquids.

I’m scheduled for Jan 22!! So freaking excited!!!! Can not wait to officially start this journey!

I just joined this forum last night, and was enrolled in my bariatric program today. All appointments are set for the next few weeks, I have no waiting period or anything crazy from insurance like I thought I would. I'm set for surgery sometime the week of the 22nd. I can't believe it all progressed so quickly. I have been researching for a year and it is all so serendipitous! I look forwarding to getting to know a few of you and going through this. I've only told my husband- It's exciting to tell others here! Congratulations everyone!

January 12th! Revision to sleeve from lapband. Had lapband removed oct 2016. So I’m basically starting the lifestyle all over again that I had done so great with for 5 years!! I am nervous!!

Sounds like we have a strong January cohort!

I won't have my date until December 26...i was denied in November so I'm a little more subdued this time around
