We are Vicky and Caresa. Vicky was banded Sept 2006....not sure of the date, I will have to look it up. I, Caresa, had gall bladder removed 7/12/07 in prep for Banding. Pre-op testing scheduled for July 24. If recovery from the lap-band is like the lap chole it will be a breeze...all except the liquid diet part. That's what I am nervous about. Anyway my next appointment with Dr Minkin is Aug 6 at which time they will submit all info to the insurance company. Then wait two weeks for aproval...to be optomistic. So maybe my band date will be one year after Vicky's.
