Is Anyone Else Scheduled For August?

[sews4fun 53]

My paperwork was sent to my insurance company yesterday. I am waiting for their approval !!! After their approval I will have to attend a pre-surgery class and also meet with my surgeon. At that meeting he will determine when my surgery is. I hope this goes by quickly! I would love to be banded before school starts again at the 3rd week of August!! I would love to be banded at the end of July/first of August so I will have time to recover! Congrats everyone on your surgery dates!

We would like to encourage all of you to join our august 2012 bandsters group, so far we only have 7 members, we would really appreciate your input about your experience before, during, and after surgery!

I'm very much hoping to be banded before September since that's when I start school, but I haven't had any appointments yet aside from consulting with my pediatrician (I'm 20) and my mom's physician (I assume I will go to both doctors depending).

I think I might be banded in late August. I have to loose required 13 pounds before they send my papers into my insurance for approval. The dr. Office said they don't foresee any problems and my insurance company (BCBS) has a fairly quick turn around. All my appointments are done except for my last nutrition classNd that's when I have to do a weight check so I hope I loose it by the 16th.

My appointment is the 28th of august, good luck to you hope all goes well.

Hope you all find out you get banded soon... Keep in touch...

I just went to my last appointment today! Lucky for me, my sleep apnea is mild and when I called the pulmonologist to tell him that the cpap machine was a little expensive, he told me to just "screw it!" (yes, his exact words!). So, he wrote a letter to my surgeon stating I am cleared for surgery and that my sleep apnea was mild. Whoo hoo!

Haha, thats awesome!! Congrats!

I am scheduled for August 6th. I am going July 9th for my nutrition class, then I start the preop July 22nd. This seems like a lifetime away!!

I'm scheduled for the 6th as well! For some reason it seems like it's sooo soon to me!

I was also told to use cpap machine for minor apnea. I have had it for 2 weeks. (Not so bad) Surgeon requires me to bring it to surgery

Hoping for the end of August! Final nutrition meeting on 8-7, then they submitt. Guess it all depends on how long insurance takes. I have Atena and had to do 3 month. So excited!!!!!

My EGD revealed I had the H-Pylori bacteria which causes ulcers, Dr. Reilly prescribed PrevPac for 14 days. Ugh, I'm sorry the cure is worst than the disease stomach cramps all night. 13 more days of this! I have to have this completed by my surgery but oh my this is hard!
