Just got my surgery date! Sept 29!
I just got a call today saying my surgery date is September 29th!!! My med clearance was moved up to this Thursday morning....which is great.
My only issue is I have to lose about 15 lbs prior to surgery, in these three weeks. The nurse says she sees it done all the time, and that I can definitely do it. I sure hope so, but I'm nervous... three weeks is coming real soon! Any suggestions?
I can't wait!!!

i wasn't required to lose weight, and i've never had any success with it pre-op so i can't speak from experience, but i know a few folks who have done optifast prior to surgery to shed the pounds they needed.
