After my initial visit with the surgery coordinator today, I am all ready jumping through hoops but it's all worth it! I'm set up with the dietitian for my supervised diet , my PCP ran all of the blood tests, ekg and chest xray today. I have a gallbladder ultrasound on Monday. I have the dates for the support group and the informational seminar. The coordinator really think surgery will take place by September 18 or sooner. I am so relieved and hate to wish the Summer away but, COME ON SEPTEMBER!! :cool:
 
I know how u feel. I had to do 6 months with my PCP per my insurance I was so glad when that was over. Welcome to the fourm.

I understand the frustration of waiting. I start pursuing surgery last November and recently was notified that my surgery is June 20. Am so ready for the beginning of June to start my pre-op diet, start preparing for my hospital stay, and make arrangement for when I first come home.
 
Day 3 almost done post sleeve. Can't wait to add stage 2 liquids. Surgical wounds are not an issue. It feels like you did a bunch of sit ups and the next day you're sore. Mentally I'm struggling. I want to chew on something. Could not stomach Isopure Nestors. Absolutely horrible. My Nutritionest allowed me to do Syntrax powder. She saved my life. Today was a better day and headache wasn't so bad. Good luck girls, I'm at the stage where I'm wondering why I did this. I'm sure this will pass.
