I had my dr visit with the new dr this morning everything went great. We talk about the the surgery and the process, he signed the paper I need to have to start the Well Wellness Program and started documenting info that I would need when my 6 mos is up to subment to the surgeon office. Thanks for the support guys!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing the new dr tomorrow!!!!

I had my 1st visit with the surgeon on Aug 4th, I have to do a 6 month diet & exercise class, Aug 8th i attended a diet & exercise seminar, Aug 9th I drop the form off to my dr office so she can sign off saying it's ok to participate in the Well Wellness Program, Aug 10-Aug 22 nothing but excuses after excuses, so on the 22nd I go to the office and ask have they faxed the paperwork back to the Wellness Center yet, O she has a note on your chart to discuss at office visit, wow thanks for letting me know so I try to scheldule a office can't one until Sept 19th!!!!! So I've decided if I really want to get the ball rolling I needed to change drs. So I made an appt with another dr who my mother goes to, and I will be seeing him on Monday!!! I plan on going on a cruise in May I would like to be banded by then. So with that being said do you think I'm doing the right thang by changing drs????

I also have to do a 6 mos pre-op diet Stace and feel like you but atleast you have 4 mos to go, unlike me I'm @ the beginning of this journey. But I haven't had any problems get my appt I have 2 on Mon and 1 on Tues so Good Luck!!!!

That is great! I have a GI and I see the nutrionist on Mon and Tues I go for a seminar for Diet & Exercise! So I guess the ball is rolling I just have to set a appt with psychologist!

Well with my INS I have to do a 6 mos pre-op diet, so I was very disappointed to hear that, he told I make his job easy because I didn't have high blood pressure etc. The only thing that I have to get is an upper G I to check if I have an hernia. Gave me my paper work to schedule my diet and exercise class, nutrionist and psychologist. So I've trying to get everything schedule NOW because I don't want no last minute surprises when I do get a surgery date. So Good Luck with your dr appt tomorrow and plzs let me know how it goes!!!!!!!!

Hi there Millie! How did your appt go with Dr. whipple?I was just wondering if anyone out there has been banded by Dr. Whipple, and if so, what was the process like for you? I have my appt with him July 7, and Ive already spoken to my insurance company and all I need is a 40 BMI and they will approve me within 14 days (with no 6 mo diet/exercise plan!! wohoo!!) Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows how quickly I will be able to schedule surgery, did you feel comfortable with them, etc. I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!!

I sure will c!!Soooo Proud of you and for you... You give me hope and much encouragement. Please keep posting. I will let you know just as soon as I know what is going on with my progress. Keep your fingers crossed..
Hello cMagic and MzStace everything is going good. I get my first fill on the 21st. right now my band is empty and im just mesuring out everything. It took me 6 mouths to do everything cause I was very very nervous and i was taking my time and making my appts. I really like Dr. Whipple and his staff they r really really nice. So far so gud!!!! I think the hardest part of it all so far was being on that liquid diet for 4 weeks. But I knew it wasnt forever so I got through it. lol
