Starting to get frustrated!

Hi all!

Okay I was soooo excited :whoo: because last month (basically in four days) I did all my pre-op appointments: the nutritionist, mental health counselor, my physical, letter of medical necessity, sleep study, EKG, ECO, Ultrasound of the Abdomen ( to check my gallbladder), and my blood work. Yeah, on all that! But, now I'm waiting on the stupid sleep study results that I had done on 6/13/07 and still wasn't done as of Monday.:faint:I've been trying to get a hold of my surgeon's office and all I'm getting is voice-mails. I don't even know if they've submitted to my insurance yet. I have an appointment with my surgeon Dr. Timothy Ehrlich on 7/16/07 regarding my gallbladder. Apparently they found "1", yes 1 gal-stone. I'm really hoping i don't have to have my gallbladder out first. Has anyone else had this happen? What did they do?:help:

Hi there and congratulations on getting the ball rolling.

I know I've read posts from bandsters getting their gallbladder out first or at the same time as banding. I guess you have to keep reading. Try the "complications" threads or do a search.

Hope you get your date soon!

Thank you. I'll have to try that.

Awwww! I know it's hard to wait, since you're ready and excited to get started.

Try to stay focused on the appt on 7/16, keep positive thoughts and make sure you ask lots of questions.

Don't let it get you down, it's important to take care of any concerns now... so you can have a no complication Lapband success story.

Keep us posted,
