Approved and nervous
I am assuming I am approved.
From the first visit with my surgeon, we settled on the surgery date of 3/24/10, and I haven't heard anything to the contrary since. I have my last pre-op appt. scheduled 3/9 which is where I'll find out all about my surgeon's pre-op diet. He says he doesn't want to scare me. LOL. I too have been working on changing my habits while I bide my time. My surgeon has a very comprehensive program and one of the tenents is "Do not drink your calories" so I have had to give up milk. This is killing me more than anything else. I have lost 13 lbs so far and I hope to lose a little more before surgery. I have been trying not to drink when I eat and eat more often as my surgeon wants.
Similarly, I am scare/excited. I really debated about whether or not to tell people I am having the surgery. I don't want it to become THE topic of converstion, but I learned while preparing for surgery that I'll need other's support.
Good luck to everyone. I look forward to reading about your progress.
