Hi Everyone. This is my first post (ever) after "lurking" on OH.com for months....yes, months. My surgery date is August 1. It was moved up from August 22 last week, so I'm getting a little nervous. Start my 2 week "Atkins" style diet on Wednesday. My doc requires a no/low carb pre-surgery diet.

So in two short weeks and 2 days, I will be checking in for surgery....WOW.

Congradulations.. I too am so nervous. My date is August 6 and I have pre-op education classes tomorrow.. I am not excited about the pre-op diet.. When my friend went through his he was totally miserable.

We'll all get through it. I may have to hibernate for the pre-op diet phase, but.....OK, so how many people did you share your decision with? Me...mostly work people who would figure it out when I was out for a few weeks and suddenly started dropping weight. A few good friends and that is about it. Not even my family with the exception of my son and daughter.

Good luck everyone!!!

I'm so glad you started this group!

My date is August 2nd, so I'm right there with the rest of you.

I go to my nut class tomorrow, and then start my pre-op diet Thursday. I also have the low carb, lots of protein diet. I am so happy to not have to do all liquids! Although I'd be doing it if they wanted it!

My date is July 31st but I figured I will have more in common with those of you that are having surgery a few days after me rather than those who had theres a full month before me.

I still don't actually have the insurance approval, we should know within a day or two but I have jumped through hoops and done EVERYTHING that they have asked, and then some. So fingers croosed!

I was originally scheduled for surgery in Feb but the insurance denied me, now my new date is 3 months before my wedding... not looking forward to that and certainly will not be happy if they pu**** back any closer :(

Good luck everyone!!

My actual goal is to be happy & healthy....doesn't matter what number that lands on.
