Topic: RE: 3 more days pre-op... woo hoo!
Hi Newday! I'm on day 7 of the liquid diet and my RNY is on 9/12. I'm ready to get surgery over with! The first 3 days were the toughest for me but now I seem to be over the hump and I haven't struggled with hunger much. Good luck to you on Tuesday and keep me posted!
Topic: RE: September 7th Date. How long were you off work??
I'm having laproscopic. Some people here go back sooner, some later. 6 weeks minimum is what is recommended by my pcp. When I went for my pyschologist appt she recommended at least 6 weeks. I have spoken with people who definitely would not have been ready after two weeks. I guess it also depends what you do...

Topic: 3 more days pre-op... woo hoo!
These two weeks have gone by very fast. My surgery is Tuesday at 7:30 am. I'm very excited and quite scared! How's everyone else's pre-op going? How about those of you that have been sleeved??
Topic: RE: DENIED
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I plan to do exactly that appeal, I won't give up...giving up is like me saying I give up on myself and I can't do that. I will get healthy for my family and most importantly for myself.
Thank you again!
Have a beautiful and blessed day!

Ohmigo**** has been a long time since I have posted! I have been lurking from time to time though, LOL! Anyway, after a bit of a hiccup with my insurance, I am finally going to be banded on Sept 9th! I smack dab in the middle of the pre-op diet and I am crazy hungry.....800-1000 calories is not much!
I am really looking forward to getting to the other side so to speak, as I am quite worried about the general anesthesia....but I suppose that is a normal fear.
I'll update again soon. Good luck to all the other Sept. surgery dates!
