Yes, it's offical!! I have a DATE!!!!!!!!!
Congrats. I'm also approved for August 23. My doctor doesn't require weight loss but recommends it. So for the past 5 weeks I have averaged less than 1800 calories and have lost 21 lbs. I am going on a liquid diet two weeks before surgery. He felt it was a good thing and because I am so heavy I felt any weight loss before surgery would make the possibility of Laporiscopy surgery better. My hope is to lose another 10 to 15 lbs by then. Congrats and good luck.
