Started my pre-op diet today. I was told last night at weight loss meeting that the doctor will not do surgery if I have gained. So ......here I go. Surgery is scheduled for March 20. How many days should I plan on being off work? I can't wait!

Yippee! My surgery date is March 20. I will be banded at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, OH. I am very nervous but ready to start my new journey. Should I expect a lot of pain? I know that everyone is different. My surgery is on a Tuesday and I am hoping to be back in the classroom on Monday. We'll see. :clap2:

Finally, I have a surgery date. I will be banded on March 20 at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati. I can't wait. Yippee!

Good Luck, Carolyn! I know everything will go well! Jane

Hello! Has anyone been banded at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati? I would love to hear about your experience. I meet with the surgeon on Feb. 6. :clap2: I can't wait! Jane

Hello! Its nice to see Ohio represented! I meet with the surgeon on Feb. 6. I am already approved (Anthem) and hope to get my surgery date. My surgery will be at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati. I can't wait:clap2: I am a little concerned about the pre-op liquid diet and if my surgeon will require it. I have cut my food intake down in preparation. Jane

Hello! I am new at this. I am waiting to hear from Dr. Fegelman in Cincinnati. All my paperwork is finished and now I am waiting for insurance confirmation and a surgery date. I am very excited and have been reading all that I can about lap band surgery. I have had weight issues most of my life and am looking forward to doing all the things that my weight has kept me from doing. I know it will not be easy but I am up to the challenge! Jane
