Calling all February Bandsters!

[GreenChrysalis 1]

Hey Kat, I wasn't sure what you meant at first, and then I realized that I should've edited my first post in this thread as I switched doctors. I wish you the best of luck, though and hope that you post your experiences here!

Hey Viridescence, we are being banded on the same day by the same doctor! I'm very excited and already started packing and I never pack until the next before a trip. I'm in California so it is a easy trip for me to the border.

See you soon!

Oh, yes, I see your post about changing your mind about Mexico. Good luck with your USA surgery and I'll post after I return from Mexico.

I got the call from the coordinator today; my insurance has approved my surgery… I meet with the surgeon tomorrow to verify everything and set a date. I hope to get in towards the end of this month or first week of next. I’ll let you know…

Maybe now I can sleep; I’ve been stressing about the approval part for the last 3 weeks.

Congratulations! The approval is the highest hurdle. Good luck with your appointment with your surgeon.

Met the Dr today and was worried 'cause I've gained a few points (was told that I wasn't suppose to gain at all) but she didn't say a word about it. The surgery is a go for the 19th!! Two weeks. Yes!!!

Well I am now officially a bandster had mine put in on Tuesday. I feel tired today but other than that just a bit sore around the port site, the other four incisions don't hurt at all. Just trying to sleep it off at the moment I think I will be a ok tomorrow. No chickening out now - onward to a new me.

Congratulations Mickers! You are on your way! Sounds like you are doing great! Hoping I do as well. Tomorrow is my big day!

See you on the banded side!!!

Was banded yesterday and very tired and a bit sore. Trying to get rid of the GAS too, which is the most uncomfortable part for me. I will try to walk outside tomorrow. Had a bad sore throat from the breathing tube, but is seems better tonight. Looking forward to getting more active.

Today!! I got my band this morning. I went into surgery at 7:30, and I was home by 2:30. I slept for most of the afternoon. I just had a cup of beef broth and I am really full. I also have some unset Jello, but I think that I am going to save that for later. I already have that gas feeling in my chest. I have some soreness where the port is, but none of the the other sites hurt at all. I can't believe how good I feel. Let's hope that I feel this good tomorrow.
