Well, tomorrow will be one week from my surgery... I'm a Band Geek finally. :thumbup:It's has been a hard week for me since my Band Leader, Dr. Rehnke had to fix a large hernia while installing my band so I just got home from the hospital yesterday.:wub: I'm still sore from the large incision to fix my hernia but my other small incisions don't hurt at all. I have one more week of my clear liquid diet before adding in full liquids which i look forward to the change... even though i've been forcing myself to take the liquids since i never feel hungry yet. :rolleyes2:My additions to the band lingo besides Band Geek(Me) and Band leader(Surgeon)... also our Supporters(friends, family, and you all) are my Bandaids. I'm feeling more like myself... I missed me.

:wub: Lovin your new band lingo...

I am looking at your profile you said you joined in March of this year.. how long did it take for you from the time you met with the surgeon till the day you had the surgery..???

oh and glad you hear everything worked out well for you

Thanx... I have too much time on my hands...obviously.

:cool:I first saw the surgeon in November 2009... the process is usually 4-6 months because i was through insurance' date=' self-pay goes much quicker. I also had no insurance for 2007-2008 so that put a monkey wrench in the medical records requirements part also.[/color']
