Support for April 2010 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was originally part of March bandsters, but due to additional testing, work schedules, Easter Holiday (Family coming in) and anything else you can think of the date has now been pushed out to 4/22/10.

Im hoping to connect with others that are currently scheduled for April (only) for surgery, for support, advice, education, and encouragement. Let's get together and share this journey together!

So if possible, let's all post our surgery date and where you are having it done and let's track everyone's process!

Surgery Date: 4/22/10

Hospital - Carle Hospital, Urbana IL

Doctor: Dr. Oliphant

Who did you tell you are having surgery? Husband Only

Hi, ginger!

I'm scheduled April 5.

I have told a few friends and my mom, my daughter, but have failed to tell my sons. Think it's a guy thing. :)

I am tentatively scheduled for 04/09. I am going out of my mind today! Waiting for surgeon to send info to insurance for approval. I know once they receive it, the insurance company will take some time. It has been 6 long months waiting for this lets get it to them already!! Other than that i am alright:laugh:

My surgery is scheduled for 4/1... 2 days before my 26th birthday and 3 days before Easter... I'm getting so excited!!! 23 more days, and counting... Surgery is in Sacramento, CA... I have actually told quite a few people, most of whom have been receptive and supportive.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
