March Bandsters!

[princess77 16]

I just wanted to start a March group. My surgery date is March 2nd.

You are lucky to know your date! Im waiting insurance approval..was hoping for late Feb, but it looks like it will be March.

I am self paid so I got the choice of when. My insurance through work is covering a 1/4 of it so that helps.

I will most likely have my official date tomorrow but sounds like either the first or second Monday in March. Fingers crossed!

I am hoping for a March date.... will keep everyone posted.

I am scheduled March 20th, it seems like SO far away, I am going away foor a week on the 17th, but it is to see the skinny half of my family, so food won't be an issue.

I am really hoping for a March surgery date. I have my last visit with my doctor today! I have my Psych evaluation at the end of the month and then I get to file with my insurance for approval (BCBS- AL). I am really nervous because I really didn't try to lose weight during the 7 month diet because I wanted to keep my BMI around the same. I am scared that it will hurt me now. I just REALLY want to get approved.

Looks like I just went from a March Bandster to a February Bandster. My Dr just scheduled my surgery for February 27. Bittersweet feeling right now. It is great that it will be early than I originally planned but kinda scary that I dont have those few extra weeks to prepare. Anywho, hope all goes well for you all. I guess its time for me to move over the the Febryary side. Ill be back if anything happens to push my date!

I wanted to jump on the March band wagon, hoping that I will be having my surgery by then..I have my first appt with the surgeon and the nutritionist today..Praying that my insurance will approve the surgery. Good luck to everyone.

Hi there everyone! Just confirmed my surgery date yesterday....March 1st! I am seeing Dr. Weaver in Denver and driving 8 hrs! I start my pre-op diet in a week (on Feb 16th), so I have a week left to enjoy all my old favs! I am so excited to FINALLY put an end to this fight. I'm not afraid to admit when I need help. I've been able to lose weight in the past, but the keeping it off is IMPOSSIBLE! I always resume my old habits. With the Band I know I will have to change my entire mindset of obsessing over food, but I know I can do it! Glad to see some others are around my date so we can keep in touch and enjoy this journey together!

Sarah, I'm right there with you on losing weight and resuming bad habits. Good luck. Please, please keep us informed on how you do! Good Luck!
