surgery june 1st!

yay! i cant believe it. i never thought i would finally get through everything and have a surgery date. june 1st! 14 more days until my new life begins. my dr wants me to lose a few pounds before surgery but i cant stick to a diet, if u could i wouldnt be doing the surgery. hows everyone elses pre-op diet going? if dont lose any weight do you think the dr. will refuse to do the surgery and move it out to a later date untill i can lose some? im just always thinking of things that could go wrong because getting the surgery seems to good to be true!

Hello,

I too am schedules for the 1st. I was instructed to lose 10 pounds and if I could then I would be given a 5/18 surgery date. Needless to say I didnt so I was pushed bac****il 6/1. I did not lose the 10 pounds as instructed only 5 ... I think they want to see the effort?

I agree with your thought if you could lose than you would not be where WE are today, just show effort and I think you will be ok.

Good Luck!

I'm also scheduled for Jun 1st. The insurance company has a 6 month waiting period, and I have been on Medifast for that time and have gone from 270 to 214. I'm so excited for the surgery. I hope all goes well for you and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi! I am scheduled for 06-01-2009 and you are right the pre-op diet is hard! lol. Mine I think was barely 1000 calories and when you have kids, you will burn that! I think it depends on the doctor, I have PCOS and it has always been hard to lose weight! Just stay positive and stay away from the bad foods! Congrads!
