Hello all! I've got my surgery date! Looks like I'll be an April bandster!!!!!! I am the first case on April 24th! I cannot believe it!!!! I was expecting something to slow things up. But, I guess not! Now, I've got to set my sites on the preop diet two weeks out (Good Friday - I guess no chocolate bunnies for me!:sad:). Who CARES! I'm gonna get healthy and lose weight!!!!

:biggrin: :biggrin: :w00t::woot::crying:

Congrats!!! I have my date as well! April 17th. My last appt was March 23 and they said they will submit my paper to my insurance and last week they called and said every thing is a go and my Doc has a cancelation April 17th did I want it, I said YESSSSS!!! It's all I can think about, talk about, dream about...I do believe my family is tired of me, but I got more for them. I'm shouting from a mountain top. FINALLY, YEAH!!!!

I fell like it's all about me and I'm running with it. After years taking care of everyone else, I put me first, and it feel goooooood!

I have a surgery date of May 7th. I am waiting for approval from the insurance company. My doctor puts everyone on a 6 week medifast liquid diet. UGH it's very hard. I just started it on Thursday. Does anyone else have to do it that long? I think they said 6 weeks is the minimum time they do. I'm a bit worried about 500 calories a day for 6 weeks but they have a VERY good reputation so they must know. It's hard though. I don't get why you cannot have any solid food at all. Like some celery ? A cucumber? LOL Medisfast doesn't taste that good either. The dutch chocolate is ok and so is the swiss mocha, but the other flavors are all horrible. YUCK
