Hello Everyone!

Well I am actually an end of may bandster. 4 more days! May 24th. All the may people I've talked to are like 3 days out from surgery. I'm so close but these last 2 weeks have felt like the longest in my life! I am so excited but getting really nervous too. Not about the surgery at all but the after...Whats gonna happen? Am I going to be hungry? Everything! I need a band buddy LOL. So if anyone wants to team up with me it would be awesome and I can help you to and let you know what to expect as well!:laugh:

I am getting banded on June 9, 2010, at Hurley Hospital in Flint, Mi. Have to be on a liquid diet for two weeks before and two weeks after. Worried about being hungry all the time, can't wait to start losing weight and hopefully no longer needing the sleep apena machine.

I will be banded on June 21st, which is my actual birthday. I am calling it my Re-Birthday! I was supposed to be banded on December 21st, but got breast cancer and needed a mastectomy, which I had on 1/5/10 instead. I am now cancer free and working really hard to get thinner each and every day. Life is great! I am so excited and thankful, although I am paying for the surgery myself. My insurance company has an exclusion to anything having to do with weight loss. Doesn't that suck? Dr. Bass in Hollywood, Florida is supposed to be one of the best, let's hope so. I say horray for each and everyone of us.

Hello all,

My date is June 9th and I am very anxious, I have my final pre-op meeting on 5/25. I was originally scheduled for 5/24 but ended up having to have my gallbladder removed on 5/12. I have been reading blogs and being inspired...I am absolutely going to do what it takes to make this work for me.

Okay, so i talked to the insurance company two weeks ago and was told of the approval and auth code for the approval. But they left a voice message at the doctors office of the okay to go ahead.

Of course I had to contact the insurance company and get on them. The temporary date is 06/29/2010, but most likely this will get moved up.

But at least I have a date set!!!!:thumbup:
