So has the Doctor always required you have someone stay at the surgery center? Was just told today that someone has to stay there with me

How are you feeling?

Congrats on your band!

So excited! Just got the call my surgery was moved up by a day!! I will be banded on Thursday!!!!!!!

Keeping everyone getting banded to in my thoughts! Good luck!!

Good luck tomorrow! You will have to check in and let us all know how you are doing!

I thinks it's all up to the doctor. I am having my surgery Nov 8 and I just have a 3 wk pre op diet and last "meal" between 4-6pm the night before and it's suppose to be a protein shake.

Which True Results are you going to?

Got the call it is officially a green light for next Friday the 8th of November!

How did surgery go? How are you doing now?

My journey has ended up being 6-7mo instead of the original 4mo

You will have to let me know how surgery goes seeing as I will be there the day after you! Did you hear when that gentleman was getting banded

Good except they threw a cure ball at me! He wanted cardiac clearance! Grrr so I spent the rest of the day in a panic trying to find a cardiologist that could get me in before the 8th. I was lucky I found one and got the clearance today! I am too close to get denied again! The insurance company denied me in Aug for gaining 1.8lbs so I had more hoops I had to jump through! How are you doing with the pre-op diet? I'm positive yours is not as long as mine is!

As long as there are no more hoops to jump through! They do have a week to put more obstacles in my way! I went yesterday and the doctor decided I needed cardiac clearance before surgery! I was lucky enough to find a cardiologist that could get me in today! I got cleared!! I am so close I'm not going to let them stop me!

I think we were in the same group session- yesterday at 130?!

I will be having my surgery on Nov 8! Can't wait!

Well today I went and met the surgeon and all seemed week them BLAM "you need to get cardiac clearance before surgery!" Surgery is November 8th! They couldn't have told me this 6mo ago!! I was lucky I called a bunch of cardiologist and of course no one can get me in that soon so I dropped by an office and I think my frantic pleading face made them feel bad for me! I have my cardio clearance appt tomorrow at 415! So many hoops! So frustrating! Oh so close to let it slip out of my grasp now!

I'm pre op but I think I have read on here warm fluids help sometimes?

I am only taking 5days off I hope that's enough!

I have Aetna and they changed their policy 5 days before my first last weigh-in in Aug 18. the new policy states can't gain more than the initial weight. On my 5th weigh-in I lost 10lbs so the office sent an appeal and I didn't get the approval letter until the day I went for my second last weigh-in Oct 21st.
