October bandsters

Tomorrow is my pre op weigh in day. Today I received pre registration calls from the hospital where my surgery will be. Weds I will find out my surgery time. So excited but my GI tract tells me that I am nervous. I am almost there

Well i banded Wednesday. Woke up in the hospital because doc said there was a lot of scar tissue from previous surgeries, with a drain and I've oxygen everything ! Actually the overnight helped me feel better and I am home now . Pain is manageable I have a new respect for hot peppermint tea, helps me feel better

Doc had me do a long set of fluoroscopy photos to make sure everything was in place, nothing exceptional was found whew! Glad to be on this side of the surgery!

Manda you and I must have the same banding date 10/17. I also did my pre op stuff today and while there I got an email from my surgeons office that they got my insurance approval today!!

Yes maam! Thursday at 8:30!! Whoot Whoot!

Just got my medical clearance letter the other day and I had my doctor cracking up at how excited I was. Although after the year I've had waiting for this - I'll wait to get excited when its over!

They will be calling me on Weds 10/16 with my surgery time. I really want it to be earlier in the day. Crossing my fingers

I hear that! Im glad mine is at 8:30 - althought the hospital said to call the day before just to make sure it hasnt changed. I have to check in at 6:30. If they change my time, Im crackin skulls! LOL (just kidding!)

My surgery is scheduled for Oct. 23rd and I see the doctor for the first time tomorrow - this seems weird reading everyone's posts, sounds like you have to go thru a pre surgery liquid diet? For how long? I'll have less than two weeks from by 1st appointment to having the surgery.

Anyone have time to post what the first few weeks are like?

I saw my director the first time back in May or June. Now that I have been approved I will see him on Monday, the day before surgery. He doesn't require a pre diet. In fact they told me to eat whatever I want and have that glass of wine if I want to. I will be banded on October 15th. Let me know how your preop visit goes.

Yay! I feel the same way. Nothing terrible. I think the most annoying thing is everytime i have to pee i have to call someone because i have these boots on my legs and i can't get up alone
