I guess Florida is different or where I am have very low cases because I’m not required to get tested, but I mean this is also Florida lol

I live in Florida and I have to get a covid test on Friday for my bypass on Tuesday. Funny how everything is different everywhere...good luck!

I'm scheduled for August 17. 2nd day liquid diet. Doing well so far.

[mention=167550]PerezL84[/mention] good luck to you! And yes, mindset is important. I’ve decided no food funerals. I will start my 2 week liquid diet August 13th and until then, I will eat what I normally eat but I’m making a conscious effort to eat less/smaller portions. And my liquid diet is truly liquid- shakes, Bone Broth and Jello limited to 800 calories a day. I’ve also purchased exercise equipment that will be delivered to my house about 3 weeks post op and I hope to start using at about 4 weeks post op. I started looking into WLS in January and am so thrilled that I got approved (I have BCBS of Michigan).

Best of luck to you as well. NJ here. Going on my pre admission op test (Covid19) next week and I should be all set.

Hi, I am scheduled for Aug 17th, I have to get a covid test 3 days before...

Hi@acasee... so am I! Not too thrilled that it falls on a Monday. Just make sure to ask your doc if he got enough sleep and his/her coffee on the morning of. Best of luck!

Give it a couple days those Protein Shakes will make you feel full. I called my doctor today because I wasn’t losing weight during the liver shrinking diet and he said don’t worry about, most lose a few pounds, but some don’t. He will still do the surgery regardless.

Hello Everyone,

I just got my surgery date set for August 26th, 2020. I am having the Gastric Bypass surgery. I am feeling a bit nervous but I excited at the same time. I am new here so any tips or general chats are welcome 😃

Congratulation on your surgery date, can I ask how long your entire process took before you got a surgery date

[wallflower95 17]

Surgery is today !!!!

[Corrine2020 12]

@dwgirl my surgery is scheduled for Aug 11th and I started my process Jun 11th. So, two months in total. My insurance no longer requires the documented months of supervised diets, thankfully! Good luck on your journey!

@wallflower95
Good luck today and keep us posted!
