Glad all went well for you. You didn’t have to do a pre-op diet. If you don’t mine me asking what is you surgery weight? Mine is 255 and I was told I could do a week because of my weight. It’s nice to have people to compare notes with.

My surgery is on Feb 9th have tobe there at 6am. I also am not doing pre-op diet. As I am barely over the bmi requirement. with other health issues I had to be over 30BMI and I am literally at 30.14 so they told me not to do the pre-op. I am 5'6" and weight 218

My weight was 250 but I am 5' 7" tall.

February 23rd!

Tomorrow’s my big day! It’s snowing now but is supposed to stop later tonight. I’ll need to be at the hospital by 530 and my surgery is the first of the day at 730. So excited to start this new chapter of my life!

Me too! Trying to work my way into the pre-op diet. I figure this is my test week.

2/14- Valentine’s Day!

Had my surgery yesterday. I had intense gas pain but now I’m ok. I’ve been walking a lot.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been hounding them now and they're in the process of getting papers submitted. I am so excited for you getting approved. Let me know how your journey goes.?

Hey! Have you heard anything since your paperwork was submitted?

Starting my 2 week liquid diet today! 2 weeks out makes this way more real!

We're surgery twins. I'm getting sleeved February 8th as well!

Finally cleared for surgery on Feb 24th.
Had issue with insurance auth- had to call and get it straightened out.
Had to get a chest X-ray since I had Covid in December
The standard pre -op EKG was abnormal, so I needed a stress echo which was abnormal and then had to have a cardiac catheterization. Finally got clearance after that from the Cardiologist yesterday. Had my pre-op appt with surgeon today to review pre-op diet= 1 week liquids/ day before clear liquids. Nervous, but ready.
