My first appt with the surgeon was in February 2008, by the time my paperwork was sent in to my insurance - they make us go through a 6 month wait. I finally completed it on October 2 and was finally given a surgery date of 11/19th. Boy was this quite the journey. My surgeon does not require a 2-week pre-op liquid diet but he will not operate if we gain any weight. As usual, I avoid the scale so now I have to tackle it because I have 1 month to get ready for this.
