Looking to start a group for August surgeries ! August 8th is my surgery date! Very bummed that it’s so far .. yet so happy to have a date!

Bariatric program start date:1/22/18

finish date- 5/29/2018

surgery date (bypass) 8/8/18

Aug 9. Band to bypass

Heading in Aug 6th! Today is Day 2 on liquid diet! I’m in SE Wisconsin

How’s everyone doing that’s on their preop liquid diet?? I was struggling with my surgeon required Optifast shakes but found that adding a little sugar free pudding to it thickens and covers up the gritty texture! Aug 6 - only 12 days to go!

So a small update - I’m at my surgeons appointment and the lady at the front desk said that my insurance doesn’t require a submit (whatever that means?) and she said that’s a good thing. Downside is I don’t get my date today like she said I would a few days ago but she’s going to call me tomorrow or Thursday with my date. She said the surgeon is pushed out until near the end of August so we shall see ! Soon as I get my official date I’ll know when to begin my pre op diet.

And @ zerocool you do miss your August Date come be with me in September. I also missed August & will have mine September 5th At OSU-Wexner Medical Center in Columbus Ohio with my surgeon Dr Bradley J Needleman at 7 AM. And I would love to be friends with you no matter your date. Okay ?and Good Luck getting a date.

JUST got a call from my surgeon's office for my date!!! I'm scheduled for August 17th!!

Yay!! Congrats

And I am HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY For you @Kseyn2boys and @Zero Cool!

Hello all,

I just had my pre-op appointment at the hospital so I've cleared the final hurdle! My RNY/GB is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 1:30 p.m. in the Houston area.

I'm excited and nervous but much more excited than nervous.

Can't wait to be on the loser's bench!

Congrats to everyone who was recently approved!!! I am on day 8 of my liver shrink diet and I am feeling good. Mine allows me to eat one small meal and two shakes a day. I do find myself thinking that I SHOULD be hungry but I'm working on that bug in my ear.

@YoBL Its awesome you are able to identify the mental hunger thing. That scares me more than surgery, not being able to get past that.

Surgery scheduled for August 7th - band to sleeve revision. Nervous and excited.
