Congrats and good luck. I am also scheduled for April 2nd but for the VSG. I start my liquid diet 2 days before surgery so I got lucky there. Keep me informed on how you are doing.

Topic: RE: April the 8th..Coming soon!
I'm beating you to it by one day, I'll be there on the 7th! I've had a long battle of it too getting approved. When I first inquired about the surgery with my insurance company, 2 different representatives told me that they were so strict with their requirements for approval, that there was very little chance I'd ever get approved! Well, a year later, and THEY WERE WRONGGGG! lol
Good luck and I'll be thinking of you!

That is one thing the States has - you get your surgery covered through your insurance. I on the other hand - I had to pay out of my own pocket - $16,000.
I look at it as Investing in myself - for the future - to see my 2 1/2yr old grow up and enjoy by life with my husband. My surgery is scheduled for the day before you!
The liquid diet I am on now - it has really made me notice how much I was just eating because the food was there or the "habit" I call it. My addiction with food - I have had my whole life. Today is day 5 of the liquid diet - 10pounds gone so far.
You can do it - just don't let your family cook or eat in front of you LOL :)
I'm not hungry but it's the only time I want food - because I see them eating! haha

Topic: April 2nd is the BIG Day
I'm so excited!! I got my new insurance letter Thursday after I decided to change surgeons. It took only 2 weeks to get each letter. I called the doctors office as soon as I read the letter and my surgery is on!! I have to be at the hospital at 8am on Wed, April 2nd and surgery is scheduled for 9:30am. I start my liquid diet Thursdays. I'm not looking forward to this but I know I can do it.
