Well am sad, my surgery was tomorrow but it got canceled because of Covid-19 pandemic..
Now I have to wait to be called in to continue...

There is a thread on the bypass board about this I was just reading. Happening to several people. Sorry to hear it. Hang in there.

I can’t wait till I have the surgery. So ready to start my new life.
Had a horrible experience at work today. Had to put on a lab coat and overalls and they didn’t fit properly. Could barely move in them. Felt so embarrassed. Had the same thing a few weeks ago when trying the new uniform. They didn’t have my size so I had to try men’s sizes. So embarrassing and it looked horrible. I am so ready to never feel this way again.
I just finished week one of the pre-op diet my surgeon gave me. Just one more week. By this time next week I’ll be done. Can’t wait. ??

Heading out to the hospital! Procedure is today.... hooray for me! Prayers and good vibes [emoji1488] appreciated [emoji3526]

Wow! I've been on my journey since February 2021. I'm so glad I now I have a date. I was denied by my insurance after 5 months of pre-op appointments so I'll be going to Mexico.

I am doing the same thing as u

August 30th

Surgery on 8/31. Getting a jump start on the diet so I can minimize any complications and make sure I get a good surgery. Down 9 pounds in 5 days. Worried I may lose too much to keep my insurance approval. Have 3 weeks to go. The diet is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I am not feeling really hungry at all but I am only on it 5 days so far.

I got my surgery on August 4th. My doctor was very happy I lost 14 pounds in the prior 2 weeks. Once you have your insurance approval, your all set..don’t worry…they want us to lose the weight at the end..it helps with shrinking the liver for surgery and helps us with our new lifestyle. It helped me so much and now I’m 21 pounds down since July 19th. Keep up the good work!!

I was worried I would lose too much on the pre op as well and I called my surgery center and they said that it’s designed to make you lose weight and that insurance goes by the weight at your last appointment with the surgeon. I would double check that your policy is the same but I bet it’s fine to lose weight at this point if you’ve already had that last appointment.
