The two weeks of liquid diet pre-surgery took forever. If you keep yourself busy, the time will fly. Also, do things you have not done in awhile, such as stop by a local park and watch the kids play, or take a walk and find a river and watch and listen to the water. Finding tranquil moments helps ease your mind, and also help reassure you this is the start of a new beginning. Good Luck! TJ

Hello Lisa, I hope everything went well for you. I am in the process of getting clearance and obtaining the yes or no from my insurance company. I have not reached the level of anxiety that you have but, I am getting there. What would your advice be to me as far as your experience so far? Sincerely, Muilka (Miky for short)

Congratulations! I go for my very first consult at the Bariatric Center next Thursday. How long did it take you for your insurance to approve your surgery?
