    Hi

    I am hoping for a July 11 date. This would be perfect for me as far as work is concerned because I am a Medical Assistant and my doctor I work for will be on vacation for a week!!! I am meeting with Dr. Ahmad and the nutritionist on Tuesday and will find out then. I have an appointment for the psychologist on Friday. Soo excited about this procedure.

    Anyone Getting Banded In July?

    Saw the cardiologist today. He scheduled me for nuclear stress test and echocardiagram. Two more tests and chipping away at work time. Should still have about 60 hours vacation time to take for surgery tho so it's ok. Filling up my days with all these tests and doc appointments!! Still hoping for a July 16 date. Will find out on July 3 at doc office.
