I though I was the only one worried, scared, but most of all excited. But I gues we all are. It just feels as if time is not moving fast enough. :w00t:

I just found out I am scheduled for April 7. I have been working toward this since October 08, so the wait is almost over!

I am not required to do a preop but I am starting one on Monday anyway. I will do two Protein shakes and one lean meat and veggies for dinner. I am afraid of the fatty liver possibility.

Glad there are a number of us to share stories and support each other.

I'm hoping my surgery is the latter part of April. I've jumped through all of the hoops; the only thing remaining is insurance approval. I think I've read much of this site- it has been so helpful, especially about the tough work it takes. The info sessions tend to make it all seem simple and effortless- Ha! So thanks to all of you previous posters!

Hello everyone,

I got a date of April 29th, I will be going for all my testing on the 16th of March. I do have a question, my doctor told me if I have a hiatal hernia, he will not band me. Why wouldn't a doctor fix the hernia oppose to the more drastic bypass surgery that he requested I get. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It's official. My surgery date is 04/05. I can't wait.

Congrats to all the April Bandsters. Today, I did all my pre-admitting work at the hospital today. I had a complete physical, EKG, XRAY and lots of blood taken. To top it all, there was a 5 hour Nutrition/Lifestyle Modification class.

I learned quite a lot today. April 2nd seem so far away.

BobKat I would post your question on the general discussion board - others may know more since they are further along on their journey.

Good Luck.
