Absolutely surreal to be posting this as I have read so many of these threads! I didn’t think the day would ever come! Excited and petrified. My date is 2/22/21!!

Any February 2021 bypassers out there? I would love to connect and share prep plans and how things go after surgery.

I had last appt with surgeon right before Christmas. Waiting on insurance approval for a February date. He said it should be around first part of February. I'm getting nervous and excited. How long are you planning to be off from work?

Oh. My. Goodness! I am sighing a sigh of relief. I thought that I may have been the only person on the site who is going in for surgery in February! Perhaps I just received my date further in advance than most! Thank you for responding - I think the nerves are really playing with my head too! Ha!

I will be crossing my fingers for you!

I am planning just a week, but I work from home at an office job...so hoping that will be enough time. What about you? Have you bought any items in preparation for after the surgery?

YEEEESSSSS!! I KNOW! The countdown has begun! 39 days for me! How are you doing on prep?

I was originally scheduled for January but was postponed, just got my new date of Feb 8th! I'm so excited and scared at the same time! My pre-op diet starts on Monday!

Yes, scheduled for Feb 4th! Just started the 2 week liquid diet today.

Excited for you!! I’m waiting for insurance approval & crossing my fingers for a Feb. date. ?

Wooohoo! You are just around the corner! How is the pre-op diet going?

My surgeon has me on a keto diet, I have to replace one meal with a protein shake until the weekend before surgery. I will be on a full liquid diet the day before surgery.

That sounds pretty good compared to full liquid diet! How is it going for you?

I am not sure what I will be required to do yet, but from the little booklet they hand out, there may be a few options.

Are you scheduled yet?
