Melloways....What a bummer you have to wait the weekend! What if you call this afternoon and just see if by chance the labs are in. At my doctors I can view my results online within an hour (depending on the lab....are you on line?)

Surgery date Nov. 25th.

A friend of mine was asking me about the lap band surgery and how long the surgery would be. When I told her 30 minutes, she was WOW just think only 30 minutes to change your life forever.

I had yet to think of it that way. But when she said that it clicked in my head as to how true that was.

I can not wait for my life change.

I just found out from my surgeons office that I was approved for surgery, and I'm scheduled for November 13th!!! Yay!!!

I feel like I've been waiting forever on this. I'm ready for a new life.

GO NOVEMBER BANDSTERS!

Hi! I am having my surgery on the same day. I am so excited about having this surgery. I am on day 8 of my liquid diet. Amazingly enough I don't even think about food. LOL

HI everyone in this group I just received my call at lunch and will be banded on November 17th and i am so excited. this has been a long process - only because i choose to change surgical groups at the end of my first process. So i had to start pretty much all from scratch. So i cant wait until i get out of work and can jump up and down and do the happy dance .... yea yea yea yea :cursing:

Soexcited Thank-you. I love being a mom it is the best thing I've done! I really need to lose weight to keep up with her she never starts moving.

Hi all, I'm new here, this is my first post. But I have been lurking on the site for a while :-) I started considering it since April and after reading everyones great posts here. I have decided to go for it. I'm scheduled for next Monday the 9th.

Being diagnosed with PCOS for 16 years and numerous years of fertility treatments, I'm blessed with a 3 year old daughter and would love to have more. I believe this is my only hope, from everything I have read and what my Dr said my PCOS could go away. That would be so wonderful !

Hey! welcome aboard, we are glad to have you here! :cursing:

I have PCOS as well! It's TOUGH but we are fighters and we will fight it together with this band. It would help alot, i am hoping!!!!

I am sick of taking all those meds and having hair on my chin, skin tags, and the stubborn weight.

I'm getting banded on Tuesday the 10th, next day after yours!

GOOD LUCK :redface:
