Well yesterday I had an EGD and found out that I have ulcers in my stomach. The doctor told me that I will not be able to have my lap-band put in on August 4th as planned. Now I have to go back and get a followup EGD in 6 - 8 weeks to see if the ulcers have healed and then reevaluate. Assuming everything is okay it looks like I am looking at late September at the earliest to get my band. Needless to say I am very discouraged. I don't know how I am going to maintain my momentum at this point. I was so set on getting my band on August 4th. I guess a visit to my bariatric psychologist is in order to help me put this in perspective and keep my eyes on the prize. Has anyone else run into this?
