Florida Pete 1 Posted October 29, 2008 Actually if your coming in on the 8th and I am out on the 7th we'll just miss each other! But hey we can find a South Florida Bandsters Group and meet up after surgery for a good glass of Water and some Jello on the side! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrmanning 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Hello everyone, I think there are two threads for December. There is also one under Monthly Lap-Band support groups - 2008 bandsters - December 2008 Bandsters. Just wanted to mention that since there are so many of us. I am really excited and nervous all at the same time. Nina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nfl1 0 Posted October 31, 2008 I hope to be a December or early January bandie! My bday is 12/31, so I figure it'll be my gift to myself, and as long as I get to eat at Thanksgiving, I can get through the Christmas holidays at home. At work? That's ANOTHER story. If I'm on liquids at that point it'll make it easier, for me it'll be all or nothing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckandvicki 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Hi, I just found out my date. December 9th. I'm excited and nervous !! They asked me if I'd like to wait until Dec. 30th and I gave it some thought at first. You know... All the Christmas goodies. Then I thought what am I thinking, DO NOT put this off for another meal.... So I'm set to go. :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nfl1 0 Posted November 1, 2008 My doctor usually will schedule about 2-3 weeks out, but they are planning to submit to my insurance for approval as soon as they get one more thing from my primary doctor. I'm really hoping that Late December or early January is a reasonable time...I will NOT be happy if I need to wait till summer (this has to get in and approved for this winter).

chuckandvicki 0 Posted November 1, 2008 I thought my Ins. company was going to give me a problem, but I just had to follow up the first request with a history of diets, exercise etc etc. Then it was really fast, I was shocked. This whole thing has taken about 3 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
