FINALLY!!! I've been at this since December and I just got my date-August 14th. ( really strange bcause about 2 weeks ago I told my gilfriend that I had a dream that I got my surgery on that day) I'm so excited and I cannot wait!

Howeve-I am a little nervous because hey-it's surgery. But what if something goes wrong or it doesn't work or I dont lose weight? I'm scared. I'm just holding my breath that I didnt give my hopes up.

I know this may be a stupid question but hey I'm 19-does anyone know about going on a roller coaster post op? Obviously not for a while but I was thinking about slipping of the band!:biggrin2:

Congrats Samantha!!! :thumbdown:

You probably won't want to go on a rollercoaster for a few weeks but there should be no reason why you can't go on with normal activities once you heal.

Answer to your ticker question...After you create your ticker at tickerfactory.com or wherever, you get a bbcode and an html code. Copy the entire bbcode then come back to this site and paste it into your signature section.

Congrats. I'm hoping for an august date too. I meet with the team the last time august 6th and should hear very soon after that, as my insurance is medicare, and they don't have to prior approve it.

Good luck

Went my surgeon Dr. Holover's office yesterday for my second consult and now I am scheduled for August 18th:thumbup:.... I am nervous:scared2: and really excited:lol: all at the same time. I really can't believe how fast everything went from my first consult on June 18th to scheduling the surgery. While I was talking to my doctor the most beautiful butterfly was flying near his window. I took that as an omen that everything was going to turn out beautiful. Everyone in his office has been extremely helpful and they know all the ins and outs of insurance. I am so glad I found this site and I know I will be out here alot in the next few weeks.

Good luck to everyone.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
