Wow, this has all happened so fast! I went for my psych eval today and when I went to check out, they gave me my date! I knew it would be quick once I got approved since my insurance changes on 9/1 and I need to have it done by then but oh my....now the butterflies start! Anyone else being banded that day?

Please visit the August 2008 Banders board! You'll be able to meet lots of others being banded next month, including those being done on the very same day.

:biggrin:Wow! That is great, congratulations! I go for my psych eval on July 31, hope I am as fortunate as you. I don't think it will go so quickly for me, I still have many appts for all the other things. You will do great!

I'm being banded on the 18 also. Butterflies in full effect here also.

I go on the 12th, I have my preop appointment on the 28th. It's all becoming very real now. I'm scared....not of the surgery, but what if it doesn't work for me, and I fail once again. All those negative thoughts. Reading about what to expect and all the success stories really helps me.

Good luck!!

I believe we all have that thought in the back of our minds. We have all tried everything else and even if it did work, the weight always came back. I have heard of ALOT of success stories with the lapband and I'm sure that you and I will be one of them talking about how great it worked for us.
