This Is My Month To Get Banded



Recommended Posts

Just got back from the doc and it looks like I can't get banded until October, their schedule until then is full :(

It's ok, it will be worth the weight (pun intended)

Mara...

Ask them to put you on the call list. A lot of surgeries get canceled at the last minute because things are missing or bad labs, etc.

It's ALWAYS worth a shot!

I am so jealous that you are all so early in the month!

I get a little nervous saying it's "next month," but then when I say "47 days" I wanna cry b/c it feels like forever!!

Hi. I found out Fri. that I have been approved. My surgery date is Sept. 6th.

All my appointments/tests are done except for losing 10 pounds which is what my surgeon requires. So far I have lost 7 pounds and am hoping to get the last few off by Sept.

Right now I feel such a tangle of emotions that it is pretty overwhelming!

Glad to find a group of people going through the same thing.

      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.
