My band date is also July 16th. Finally approved after 18 mos. Ouch. Went by faster then I thought though. Good luck to everyone.

HEllo there ladies (and gents out there :biggrin: ) I am so hoping to be banded in July actually I want to on June 30th but my father just got out of sextuplet heart surgery and I was debating if I am going too fast and should I wait till his FULL recovery. Thing is I feel I am being very stingy and selfish if I go ahead and get this surgery something I have been wanting to do for months now. I had pre-op scheduled in March, and my MOM passed away all of a sudden two days prior and then my dad starts to go down hill from then on and now I have done everything and passed all test and now they are just waiting for me to give them the GO. What should I do? Will I or can i be there at least 80% of the time after my surgery for him? Gosh I am so confused!

Hi Slinderella:

Wow, you are having a tough time of it! You may want to post this question in the area with people who have already been banded to try and see if they think you can handle both situations at the same time.

How much do you have to help him out? Moral support or actual physical duty including cooking, cleaning, helping to lift, etc? If all he needs is moral support maybe the time off with both of you recovering will be good. If you have to help him with his daily living it might just be a little too much right after surgery. :cursing:

Not much of an answer I know but I just don't have the expertise to help. Hopefully some people that have already been banded will help out.

Totally echo that slimdirella..- I work in Social care.. and just think how much fitter and more able you will be in the long term to help and suupport others... where are the other members of the family ? cant you get some time (10 days??) for yourself.. Hope thats not to strong or insensitive.. I really wish your Dad and you the very best of luck..

I am getting closer to having a band date. I was told July. I have a class on Friday and another on Monday, then my 2nd consult will be scheduled. WooHoo! I'll let you know the actual date.:rolleyes2:

I HAVE A DATE, JULY 17th!!!!! I start my liquid diet on 7th and do all of my preop test on the 9th. I have waited so long, I am excited and a little scared now that it is finnally going to happen

[3m'smom 0]

my Dr.'s office called and schelued me for the 24th and then called back 10 minutes later and said they had cancellation for the 17th if I wanted it. YES,duh!!!
