Default I Finally Got My Date
I'm so happy......the doctor's office finally called and my surgery date has been scheduled for February 10. I go for my physical on January 30, and my pre-op on February 2. The receptionist said she had not heard from the insurance company yet, but she felt that everything would be OK. I hope the insurance company does not get crazy and decide not to approve it. I'm saying that February 10 is my new birthday, because it's a day I KNOW my life is going to change -- forever!! I've got to lose a few pounds now, because the first time I went to my doctor, they told me to stay within 2-3 pounds of my weight. With the holidays, I've gained about 8-10, so that definitely has to come off.

People tell me I'll have to be on a liquid diet the week before surgery. Is that true, or is it just a few days before surgery? At this point, I don't care what it is, I'm just ready for my life to change.

Thanks for any advice or well wishes you can give.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Welcome to the boards and good luck on your journey. As far as the liquid diet, I had to do a 10 day liquid diet before my surgery, but I promise it will be well worth it if that's what you're required to do. Good luck and keep us posted.

Yay!!!! It'll be here before you know it. I had gained 10 lbs between my surgical appt in April and my surgery date in Dec. I lost a couple of it, then went on a 3 day liquid diet before surgery (only required to do 1 day) and I lost 6 more pounds before surgery in those 3 days. You'll do great!!!!!

I had to be on a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery and then two days before surgery I had to take a laxative called GoLytely. Then it was a clear liquid diet until surgery. After the laxative everything else was a breeze.
