I just had my two week appt on the first. What doctor do you expect to get? Also what surgery are you wanting? The bypass makes me very nervous.

I will choose Dr. Thomas out of Slidell.

I will choose Dr. Michael Thomas when I'm approved. I hope to also to get the lapband ( fingers crossed) what about you?

I was looking into Dr Merriman since he is closer.

I contacted Bethany today, she told me my file is on the agenda for the next meeting but no meeting date has been set. I'll let you know when I hear something.

Hi everyone I was banded 6/9/14 with Dr. Domingoez in Covington La. I just had my 2nd fill on yesterday 8/5 and I am 35 lbs down. I love my lapband and I am going to increase my workout starting today. Wish everyone the best of luck.

Hopefully they get the agenda date soon. I am just anxious to hear something. Have you kept off the liquid diet weight? I have been eating so bad so I know I have gained weight but don't want to get on the scale.< /p>

I was told they only meet once a month to review the files...... But, I will tell you this. Once that board meets, and you get the approval.....it's a VERY FAST process. I met my surgeon on a Thursday, and I had surgery the following Thursday. Coming up on a year for me........ AUGUST 22.

Are you in the Heads Up study?

I've gained 2 of my fourteen pounds back. Since the shakes my food intake has not been the same.

Wow! I'm ready for my approval. I can't wait to get started.

I am ready too. I am hoping I get the sleeve. If they call and say bypass I am going to be even more nervous than I already am. It has to be soon because you got off your liquid diet a month ago. I have to say it is nice to have someone waiting with me.

[lovelytrl 162]

Yeah it means a lot to have someone at the same stage in this process. Who knows we may have the same date. I'll keep you posted

[astalsby 31]

I am so anxious to do this. The waiting is driving me absolutely nuts.
