Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

So my doctors office submitted everything to my insurance this week. Now the waiting game to hear back to schedule my last consult with dr and schedule surgery date. Excited yet nervous because it’s the waiting to set them up

I am in a similar spot, first submission sent in late October didn’t include my 36 month weight history so it was denied..long sad story where I finally got all items (fingers crossed) ready to be submitted. So for now I am only a HOPEFUL December...wishing you a speedy approval!!

Struggling with the liquid diet today. I ate an ounce of cheddar cheese and feel terrible about it! 3 more days until surgery.

Are you fully liquid? I have two shakes + 4 oz of protein and unlimited starchy vegetables. You got this! The cheese is just a tiny blip on your radar

LBmom I got fingers crossed we both get approved in time to get surgery before the new year

@amswtpea: where in FL? I’m in Tampa

Can you believe it’s December already and it’s our surgery month ?! I’m from Australia and new to this site and am scheduled for VSG on dec 13th I am so excited !!

I was just thinking about this earlier today! 10 more days for me! (December 12)

9 more days til surgery. I hate these stupid shakes. I made through my son’s birthday yesterday without eating anything except my shakes and everyone telling me their opinion on my surgery ?. I’m just ready to get it over with.

Full liquid sadly. 1 more full day till surgery!

Best of luck guys for whomever is this week. Liquid diet sucks but it’s helping for sure with the post op diet. I am counting down the days to have some soup with texture again.

Going to weigh myself weekly on the same day as my surgery which will be a Friday. Trying to prep myself for the rollacoaster the next year is going to bring.
