Amanda,
Good luck and stay focus!!! I am starting my pre op diet a little early because Dr. Armad wants me to lose more weight to shrink the liver. I went thru so much( pre op test, insurance, family,etc) to let this little hurdle stop me. August 3rd will be our "Special" day!! Good luck!!!
Best Regards,
Wayne L.

Hi Elisha,

I'm also having surgery on August 4th.. don't know what time yet. Which procedure are you having done? I'm doing RNY, as I need a little bit more restriction than what the lap band offers me. Dr. Avara did my gallbladder surgery almost 8 years ago, so I'm comfortable with him performing the surgery this time. I'll be out of work for 6 weeks (thankfully getting paid!!).

I am hoping to join you and have an August 4th date. We're still waiting for the approval. I am attending my last class this Thurs. and will start my liquid diet soon. I am going out of town on vacation, so I have to start my liquid diet then --- that stinks, but I want the surgery and the vacation! I am a teacher and I am hoping to have the surgery before going back to work so I don't have to use sick days. My surgeon says I have a good shot at getting approved by then and getting the 4th as my surgery date, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed until I hear back.

Yes!! Especially after waiting a year. But I'm getting nervous, too, thinking about how it will go, how I will feel afterwards, etc. Take care--and good luck with your surgery!
