almostthere11 5 Posted October 12, 2011 Yesterday I had my 2nd psy eval went well she is going to say I'm good to go for surgery. The eval results should be to my surgeon within 7 days whoo hooo... I'm so excited but still a little scared..When I started my 6 months of supervised classes I never thought I would get to this point now it seems like everything is going so quickly...Anyone else feel the same?

I feel the same way. I had all of my pre op testing done yesterday and I have one more appointment with the psych and have to see my primary doctore for clearance for surgery. I go see my surgeon on the 31st and have surgery on Nov 10th. The last week seems to have gone fast since before it sure seemed like it was going at a snails pace. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoolestsarah 11 Posted October 15, 2011 Hi! I'm not sure yet whether I am going to be a Nov or Dec. bandster... I have my appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday to set my tent. surgery date. I'm so nervous! I've been in this process for so long - I can't believe it's finally coming up on the time when it will all start happening. I'm feeling nervous about the pre-op diet, maybe even more than the surgery itself! I've lost about 20 lbs already, and I'm looking forward to losing a chunk through the liquid diet. Nice to meet you all - and good luck on your upcoming surgeries!! I'll be watching you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XBIGJIMX 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Got the official word today. To be banded on 11/17. Can't wait , best part is the doc does not require a "liver shrinking diet" so no liquid diet before hand whoo hooo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
