Hi everyone! I am new to posting on this site but I have enjoyed reading for the last few weeks. I started my journey on Jan 19th with my consult, did all of my insurance requirements and submitted my paperwork on Feb 12th, doctors office called me on feb 15th and said that I was approved! I was so excited My surgery date is March 24th. So far Im the first patient of that day. I have to do a 2week liquid fast prior to surgery and I think Im going to start dieting next week just to try to lose what I can before surgery. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hello! I have been waiting for a year! I was planning to have lap band but changed my mind and am now going with RNY. I am scheduled for surgery on March 19th. My insurance FINALLY approved me on Friday. I have been jumping through hoops for almost a year already. Best of luck to you all!

Fluffy...you are two days after mine, so we will be on this journey together. I have been doing this since July. All my preops are done and ready to go. I start my liquid diet March 1. I bought a bunch of Nectar protein (the only kind I can stomach) and am going to start drinking it for breakfast, then lunch, then March one I will go all three meals.

COOL! Will you have a laptop in the hospital? I hope to get one before then so I can hang out on the internet while I am locked up. Here they keep you for at least 4 days. We will probably both be in over Easter.

I don't have to go all liquid till 2 days pre-op. Till then I have to take in extra protein but I don't have to go all liquid. I got a starter pack from bariatriceating.com and I am impressed with how good it all is. I haven't tried the nectar yet but I have some.

Well glad to "meet" you!!!
