My reward will be either going to Hawaii or taking a cruise. ????

I want to go to the support group at Bailey's so bad but I have social anxiety and am a major fraidy cat.

I'm getting sick of explaining to my family over and over again that my band failed and it needs to come out so I need something else to keep me from gaining all the weight back. I had it in the first place to help my sleep apnea, blood pressure, pcos, degenerative disk disease, etc. ????

I had the revision 7/15/15 from band to bypass and I was so nervous but it melted away as soon as I got into my hospital gown and met my nurses. You'll do great! Let us know how it goes.

Hi, I'm Sundie. Hopefully I'm doing this right. I'm scheduled for a revision from the Lapband to the bypass and I am, of course nervous. Especially since I'm self pay!! Gah! I'm just here reading and it's great! Thanks to everyone for sharing! I'm 5'4 and starting out at 307 big ones. I'll be 46 next month. Talk about a pivotal time in my life. Woot!

Well, there is good news and bad news, LOL!
The bad news is, I am 10 months post op and I still gurgle when drinking as well as eating.
The good news is, you get used to it and almost forget about it unless you are in a room with no sound.
I think it is my grouch pouch telling me she is happy that I am feeling her something. LOL!

My insurance required me to do 3 months this time around.

I hope it works! Our group is called Cool Beginnings.

The waiting is the worst. I remember thinking six months of classes would be unbearable, but nope, it actually went by very fast because I was so involved in the process.
After that came the killer part. Wait to be called for a fitness test, and then wait for them to request my labs, then get my labs and wait for approval - and eureka it finally came! I was in heaven, for maybe two whole days. ????
Because after that it was wait to be called for the psych evaluation, and the internist, and the surgical consult. And lo and behold my day finally arrived, and I returned to heaven... For all of 24 hours. ????
Because next I was waiting for a surgery date. And then... the long awaited call came through. I remember the date of the call like it was yesterday, because it nearly was - 06/26. Last Friday. What a great way to start the weekend, right? And my surgery date is: 07/29! ????
Yep, gotta another full month of waiting ahead of me. I've been waiting so long I've added "waiting" to my resume.
But you know what? It's all good. It's taught me patience in a way I never knew I possessed.
Your approval will be here soon too, and you'll look back on it one day and realize it passed by a lot quicker than you thought.
Good luck and hang in there!

My surgery is set for July 15th. I could set up a private Facebook group for all of us if anybody is interested.

I just found out yesterday that my surgery is going to be July 15th too as long as my pre-op testing comes back clean. I will also start my pre-op diet July 1st. ????
