Being able to shop on the other side of the store is one of my NSV lol! I can't wait! Thanks so much for your kind words and I'll be sure to let you know how it goes! I hope they give you a fill soon, sometimes tears help us get our way lmao!

I'm getting banded on the 27th at 7:30 am! Woohoo! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time!

Thank you so much! 95 lbs is a lot! You should be so proud of yourself! 95lbs is a huge accomplishment hun! Maybe it's time for another fill? Just five more days and I'll be banded. Did you get nervous before hand?

I'm so nervous but ready at the same time. Keep me posted on how things go! Thanks for the reply

I'm going to Bluegrass Bariatrics in Lexington! I live in Southeast Ky and Lexington is about an hour and half away. Dr. Weiss will be my surgeon on July 27th!!! i can't wait. How has your experience been?

Hello! I'm Jules, I'm 30 years old, happily married to my best friend and have two boys ages 6 and 9. We live in a very small town in Kentucky and have 3 min. Schnauzers. I started gaining weight at puberty and was diagnosed with PCOS around age 19. My weight continued to climb over the years and in April I was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis of my spine. My doctor suggested Lap Band and my journey began! I've been very lucky with how fast my process has been and I'm so looking forward to getting banded on the 27th in Lexington, Ky. I love the support on this site and hope to make some great band buddies!

Just found out today! July 27th!

I got the news that my surgery will be the end of this month. I go for my surgeon visit on the 14th and they'll schedule me then. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. Anyone got some good suggestions or helpful hints for the soon-to-be banded?

My doctor referred me and that got the ball rolling. There are information seminars you can attend that will give you all kinds of information and even help you with your insurance.

I'm also having my surgery at Central Baptist with this group. I'm working on getting my heart tests done and then hope to have a surgery date!

We may have the same doctor! I find out everything in just a couple of days. Let me know how things go! I'm so ready for this surgery to happen and I can't wait for a surgery date!

Greetings everyone! I'm so glad to have found a thread supporting Pagans! I've been Wiccan for 13 years and just starting my journey with lap band. I'm 30 years old, married, have two wonderful boys, and lots of furbabies :wink2: Looking forward to chatting more soon!

Hello, my name is Jules, I'm 30 years old and I'm working toward jumping on the "band" wagon. I'm getting my surgery done at Central Baptist in Lexington with Bluegrass Bariatrics. June 4th is my all day appointment for labs and I think I'm good to go with my insurance which is BC/BS FEP. Would love to hear from others who've had their surgery there or any advice :thumbup:

I hadn't even thought about finding out what meds were used! Thanks so much that's a great idea! I've read so much on this site and honestly that's my only worry. I'm ready for the diet and lifestyle change I'm just a big chicken when it comes to surgery lol! Thanks again!

Hello everyone! Last week my doctor gave me the referral for Lap Band and the following day I confirmed my coverage with my insurance company. I attend the seminar on May 4th and I'm looking forward to getting it done and moving forward with my life. I'm 30 with two boys and a wonderful Hubby who is very supportive. I've had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and had a very hard time waking up from the anesthesia. I'm so worried about going under again....anyone else have trouble with that? I'm looking forward to posting more on the board as my journey progresses! Jules
