txcloverangel 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Hey everyone! I'm scheduled for the 20th, God (or really, at this point, insurance) willing.

Good luck finding a new dr! I'm gonna be banded on the 20th too! whoo hoo us! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliverdog 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Hi Wonder if you can help, I would like to put a weight ticker on my messages now. I go to edit signature then get lost? Can you help Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danyett 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Get this everybody! I was told that my surgery is October 6th. I started the liquid diet and one week into it I find out.......My surgeon, Dr. Iqbal, is moving to Miami the first of the year. Thanks Doc for telling me! I also called my insurance company today to find out what I have to do to transfer to another doctor and they have no record of the doctor sending in for authorization for the procedure. Holy Crap! One week from surgery and the sky just fell in on me! Now what? I don't know. I had my FMLA already approved. I finished out my 6 months, psych exam, UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE WAY, DR. IQBAL, IS FROM PT. CHARLOTTE, FLORIDA FOR ALL YOU BANDSTERS PLANNING TO HAVE HIM DO YOUR SURGERY! sorry! hope it works out for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nooshie 0 Posted September 30, 2009 xmagirl: I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. As if it's not crazy enough dealing with surgery. Just keep a cool head. I guess I'd just go through with the surgery...i'm sure your doc's office will put in for the surgery. since you've jumped through the hoops, it'll probably be cool. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MommyOf1 1 Posted October 1, 2009 Good Luck everyone! My surgery is in a week! WOOHOO! I am doing well on my pre-op diet. Down 8 lbs already! YAY! I am planning to get a costco card, but for right now I have been using GNC's brand of whey Protein, which is yummy! And until we do get that I am going to try 100%GoldStandard whey from the Vitamin Shoppe. I'll let you know how I like that. Congratulations everyone! I am so nervous yet so excited!

Wisteria75 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Hi Everyone! I just got approved and my surgery date is October 16th! I am so nervous, excited and scared! I am having doubts because something foreign is going into my body to aid in losing weight, however, I know that this is the best thing I can do for myself. I have such mixed feelings. Anyway, congrats to everyone on their journeys! ~Renee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
