Are there any April 1 bandsters
FDBAGPIPER replied to Sissyh1006's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello April bandsters, I have a date of April 1st for my surgery. The only issue that I am having is that I am going on vacation May 16th to Dominican Republic for a week and I was wondering if it is to soon to fly and what type of restrictions will I have with food and alcohol intake. Is 6 weeks enough rest time and will I be able to go into pool that soon with the incisions??? My Dr. said I can wait till after I got back from vacation but that would have set me back into the summer and I didnt think I can wait any longer. Any suggestions from anyone???? Did anyone swim 5 to 6 weeks after surgery? very confused. -
Putting things in perspective....

Awesome blog! It sounds like the band is really working for you. I am getting banded on April 1st if all goes to plan. I keep getting cold feet because its so close. All I keep saying to myself is that I will never be able to eat things that I love to eat and it keeps making me second quess the surgery. After reading your blog it puts things into perspective. -
I have a date also!!!
FDBAGPIPER replied to Suzdavis's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations on getting your date. I also got the approval for the surgery today, I have been waiting so long for the approval now I am having second thoughts. Has anyone felt the same way when they waited so long. I was so into getting the surgery now they kind of put a damper on things???? -
Ok thanks for the response. I am still waiting to here from my Insurance co. They said its going to take any where from 30-90 days I am keeping my fingers crossed.

In my opinion there is :thumbup:no better. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. from secretaries to the o.r. @ Good Samaritan, 110% smooth. Dr.Richard Pucci was like a part of my family on that day. He spent alot of time explaining & reassuring my family that I was doing fine & what to expect for recovery. I love him & his whole staff! If you have any questions I'm here.:thumbup:

Hello, I am currently waiting for my insurance co. for authorization for my surgery date with Dr.Pucci. How did you like the way everything went with him and his staff, and what insurance did u have and how long did u have to wait
