Hi there, My date is 9/2/08. I've been trying to get approved for over a year now so its somewhat surreal that this is really going to happen. I'm not at all looking forward to the liquid fast. For those of you that have to do that, how long is your fast? I have to be on a 2 week liquid fast. Eeek! My pre-op dr visit is 8/14. At that time when I weigh I can't weigh anymore than I did at the surgeon's office in March of this year. I'm struggling and I know I've gained a few pounds. Anyone have similar "rules" to follow? My doc has a tremendous reputation over the Western Michigan area. He has a full multi-disciplinary approach to WLS......the surgery is just a tool. He is very strict about after care and has a detailed plan to follow. Anyway! He doesn't want us to get caught up in feeling like we need to have our "last supper" and that is the reason for telling us not to gain. I can understand that, but I'm nervous he will cancel if I'm up a couple of pounds. *sigh*
