Hi Tamisu,

When I paid the sterling the value was approx EUR 4,000.00. I have sent them an email as their website is still advertising in sterling, also my sister was interested but this has now put her off.

Have you been given a diet to follow (pre op)?

See you on 22nd, I am staying at the Camponile

Hi Allison, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I just got back from a brilliant week in Iceland!

All I was told about diet was low-fat for the 2 weeks before surgery. I wrote yesterday to send them my flight info, try to get a schedule of what and when, and also to make sure they received my deposit. Haven't gotten a reply, yet.

I'm getting so excited, our turn will be here soon.-T

daqui,

I am so sorry to hear that you have to wait another 3 months. For me, the waiting was the hardest part of the process (although patience never has been my strongest virture :thumbup:). Good luck, stay strong....this will still be your year !!!!

I am ! I can't quite believe it yet...I've fought with the insurance company for 2-yrs to get approval and finally have gotten it.... my date is 1/29 and I can't wait !

muffie99,

That is WONDERFUL ....Congratulations!!! I too just received insurance company final approval, so my date is confirmed for the 30th, the day after yours ! My pre-surgical visit is the 19th, which is also the day I start the full Liquid Protein diet. The day I got the approval we booked a trip to Paris for my 50th birthday in late June.....so I have 5 months of incentive to do whatever it takes to be successful ....so much to be grateful for in 2009 :thumbup:

I am too sorry daqui for that you have to wait. Just keep your head up and it will soon be here before you know it. I will be praying for you.

I had my surgery on the 8th and I am doing fine. I don't think was a mistake at all. I just wish I could have done this sooner in life.

Good luck with everyone's up coming surgery's. My prayers are with each one of you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
