Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

Lindsay_Says, I stayed one night. Everything went well so the one night was good for me.

So I go in for surgery on the 10th. My insurance company approved me for on day inpatient stay and said this is the average stay for gastric bypass. How long were you in the hospital?

I was in for one night too, but I had sleeve. My surgeon requires two nights for bypass. I would ask your surgeon. Good luck, you are on your way.

Thanks! They told me two nights typically, and the insurance company said the doctor just needs to send over paperwork as to why a second night is required.

Oh yes I had the sleeve as well. Might be different for bypass. Everything will be great!!

insurance is so crazy these days!!! Its surgery two nights may very well be needed!

I'm gearing up for my surgery on the 1-22-18. Just started the pre-op diet today.

Thank you, everyone, for the replies! I'm beyond nervous and its two days away! [emoji854]

I was jumping out of my skin prior to my surgery. Not to mention it was pushed back a week because I wasn't feeling well. Surgery is never fun but after the first few days it keeps getting better!! All the best!! You'll do great!!!

Help me guys! I am due for my surgery next Tuesday the 16th, but I have blown my pre-op diet three different times. I think it’s because I have not gotten approval yet from my health insurance company, I just don’t think it’s real! I know I should just do what they say, beyond liquids for two weeks just in case, but I’m having a really hard time! Help me out give a girl a hand and prayer and any advice you have!

Try these they are very good & come in different flavors.

I'm just at the end of my pre diet. For two weeks my daily food was: breakfast - protein shake, snack - 125g diet yogurt or 150g sugar free jelly, lunch - 150g protein (baked or grilled if cooking) and 150g veg/salad (no high sugar ones like corn), snack - 125g diet yogurt or 150g sugar free jelly, dinner - 150g protein and 150g veg/salad and then a snack again. I put alarms on my phone to tell me when to eat and I cleared my house out of everything I couldn't have. I also kept busy with work. I'm on a two day liquid diet now before surgery Friday. I know I'm only telling you what I've done but hope the structure might help you! I know you don't have the 100% go ahead yet but try it out and be prepared for when you get it. The first few days are tough but you get in to the swing and look at what the end result will be. What helps me is knowing there's a time limit. I don't think about after surgery, that's a different phase. Just go he'll for leather for these last few days. You can do it!!!
