Got my date! So excited!

January 22nd will be the big day. I have to do a 3-week diet starting January 1st, but that's when everyone else in the world goes on a diet so it won't be too horrible. 

Thanks to everyone for your support on the board. It's been a crazy whirlwind getting to this point!

First congrats!!

Second. Wow. Three weeks!?  The usual seems to be two. Is yours all liquid (protein shakes) or a combo of shakes and small meals? Mine was a combo, and was only two weeks, which was hard. You can do it though! It's so worth it all!

Congrats on your date! We start the liquid diet the same day! But I only have to do two weeks!

They are making me do three weeks bc my BMI is over 50. It is two shakes per day, plus a low calorie dinner. Also there will be the nutrition bars and sugar free Popsicles. I meet with the nutritionist on the 31st to pick up the shakes and get more info. 

I'm nervous but confident in myself that I can do this! 

Congrats! I am 7.8lbs away from scheduling my surgery!

Hi, congratulations. where are you going to do it?, i'm searching for a good surgeon in Canada. i will pay it on my own. any recommendations?

I will be having the surgery in Illinois. I don't know of any surgeons in Canada. Sorry!

Hi, Thanks for your answer. may I ask you about the cost?. I want to have a general idea!. thanks again

Not sure...my insurance is picking up the tab. 

I'm doing self-pay in Mexico next month.  It's $8700, whi*****ludes everything but airfare.  There are cheaper places, but I find super low cost surgeons sketchy.
