Topic: How Long?
Wondering from any of you who care to share, how long it took to get your surgery date? My saga started in Oct., and I have all the workup stuff done, surgeon ready to submit to insurance (blue cross). I wonder how long it will take for insurance to approve, THEN how long for surgeon to give me a date? Would love to hear from your experiences on this. It will be Higa, in Fresno. Thanks. I'm new and this site should be really helpful. Fern

I understand what you're feeling. I'm having RNY the same day as you (3/31/08). I start my liquid diet tomorrow. That makes it more real for me. I'm also getting nervous and excited. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am experiencing some of the same emotions. I have actually found myself craving foods that I haven't thought of in a very long time just because I know after tomorrow my relationship with food will change forever. This is something that will take time and lots of support to get over. I just keep dreaming of my "surgiversary" as I have seen so many times on this site. At that point all of this will be a faint memory.

I felt the same way 2 weeks ago, I was excited and nervous, now I am in mourning over the foods that I will not be able to have. There will be a lot of thoughts that run thru your mind, but just keep your weight loss goal in mind and you should be fine.

Topic: Mourning Food, Surgery Tommorrow
Hello All, I am having lpscpc RNY tommorrow, and I am sooooooo mourning food right now. I am just sitting here thinking of all of my favorite foods and how I will not be able to eat them. I was second guessing my decision until I looked in the mirror and said what is more important.... my health or the taste of fried chicken and mac&cheese. Needless to say I will be having my surgery!
I am just wondering if this feeling will go away after the surgery. I have never really been a food junkie to the point that I can not control myself, my thoughts of eating the food is another story. Thanksgiving keeps running thru my mind right now. By then I will be able to eat some things, just smaller portions, MUCH SMALLER portions.
Please keep me in your prayers,

It's coming up in 15 days and I'm starting to get a teeny bit nervous. Really it's not 100% real to me yet but it's starting to get that way. I'm glad there's a whole board of folks going through the same thing at roughly the same time. I look forward to sharing with all of you.
