Am I crazy???? I'm pretty sure I've edited posts on here before but now all of a sudden I don't see that option anymore on any of my posts.

Absolutely - The more the merrier!! I think that I only have to do one visit with my dietitian. But my classes are once a month which I think is crazy since they are only 30-40 min long. I suppose for insurance purposes they want to stretch it out to be sure it's something someone really wants to do.

They stretch them out to see if you can commit and stick with it. You can do this.

I thought i read somewhere that you can only make edits for a certain amount of time after the initial post???? Could be wrong though.

Yeah I just read that in the tech support section. Lame. I wanted to update the first post on this thread with the list of everyone’s surgery dates now I can’t do that.

Hi All!

I'm new here...sorta. I gave an intro on another post here a few days ago. I mostly read and absorb all the posts. I'm a revision from lap band to RNY. My surgery date is June 4th. Thurday I had my last pre-op appointment. I found out I actually have to do a 2 week liquid diet. Booo! I had already geeked myself up for 1 week now I have to give myself another pep talk. Ha! Of course I have a graduation party 🎓 and a BBQ during those two weeks😔 I'm definitely ready to get this show on the road. June 2nd is my pre surgical appt. with the anesthesiologist.

My Dr. recommends I take 4 weeks off. That will give me a chance to get my eating together and quite frankly I'm looking forward to the break from work😏 How long are some of you planning to be out off work?

My surgeon recommends 4-6 weeks. I am planning on 4 but if my doctor says 6 that is what I will do. I took 4 after my hysterectomy and I was still tired when I came back.

Hello Everyone- so glad to find this group. I am hoping to get approved for a summer surgery as I am a school teacher. I will have my last of the 6 required dietician visits June 23 and by then I should have all the other hurdles jumped! Had my psych eval which was no big deal and am just waiting for the cardio appt. June 18. THen my paper work can be sent in for approval. I am worried that my borderline numbers will keep me out. Anyone in Rhode Island or CT?
