Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praying you both get banded soon.

Well this very thing happen to me, I was scheduled for 9 July then 12 July and final band day 23 July all I can say is once Dr C opens his own surgery center things will be back to normal. Just be patient and if you get to where you need answers go in for an appointment Dr C will explain everything to you. Good Luck try to stay positive praying for Dr C and all of his patients.

Thanks for sharing this I'm 3 weeks post-op the day of surgery I was 263 my one week post op I was 257 and now I'm 255 Pre-op I was 281. I'm not depress I feel good and learning how to take small bites and chew chew is what my goal is for now, and getting the fluids in each day. If your're peeing alot your losing also check the ketones this helps with if your intake of sugars and carbs. We all are doing great a loss is a loss:-)

I'm here in J'ville my doctor is Dr Cywes as well, just banded 7/23/12 what is going on with Dr C I hope all is well.

Jville Banders, I was banded 7/23/12 by Dr. Cwyes, I'm doing well, very happy with my 33 pound weight loss. To Scooterbug, just have patients it can take up to 30 days I understand your pain and frustraction take this time to get ready for pre-op diet and new way of eatting. I was bugging BCBS as well got the approval and was asked if I could do the surgery in 3 days (NO WAY I WAS NOT READY) got scheduled for 9 July then rescheduled for 23 July I was upset, mad, depressed loss support of my family but I needed that time to getmy self ready. Do the Low Carbs diet and prep now it will happen so fast. They will get it done trust me.

I was banded 7/23/12 and I must say each day is better than the last day. Praying for all those banded and scheduled to get banded for a speedy recover and success on our journeys.
