Good Morning

Im having my surgery on July 19,2018. Just wondering if any one else is having their surgery in July? Just want someone to talk to about the stress of surgery and excitement

No not from my doctor; I I harassed BCBS customer service twice a day for a status! Lol! I would call once in the morning and once in the afternoon! I was too anxious to wait for my doctor to contact me.

LOL! I thought about calling today and talked myself out of it bc I wasn't sure if they'd tell me. I have BCBS Carefirst. I think I'll call tomorrow.

My paperwork was submitted on the 13th and I still haven't heard anything. My doctor told me it would take two weeks.

Congratulations

Just called BCBS. I'm approved and all set for the 12th!!! Yes, Lord!!

Now I feel like it's official. All that's left to do is wait. (And shop for protein shakes, lol)

Congratulations to both of yohu, misspriss81 and Lioness815. Exciting. My surgeon was booked until july 24th. He does other surgeries besides wls.

Is it common for most doctors to put you in a preop liquid diet? I’m currently on my preop and I can have food. Granted it’s not much but it’s still real food.

I'm on day 9 of my pre op diet, and I'm allowed food as well, very limited I'll say, but it's working out for me. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of fruit, veggie and starch a day, until day before and clear liquids. I guess it all depends on your doctor on what kind of diet, if any, you'll be on.

I am allowed three meals a day, 120g of tofu and as many low starch veggies as I like. Or I can have a protein shake. I'm in ketosis I'm sure, so it still works

Just got a call and my surgery is pushed back from July 24th until August 14th. Ugh. Bummer

My surgeon is a LT. COLONEL in the military and has training right after the original surgery date and he needs to be able to see me while I would be in hospital. Frustrating. So guesss I will be a August sleever. Haha

That sucks but at least your surgeon cares enough to follow through and be there for you. He could have passed your follow care onto someone else.
