    I feel the same way! I am scheduled for the 30th and just finished my pre-op lab work. I am nervous and anxious. Best of luck to you and congrats on the approval

    July Bandsters....lets Here You....

    Hi all! I will be banded and plicated on July 30th I was packing my must haves bag (I live 4 hours away from surgeon) tonight and here is what I have so far: pain meds, chewable vitamins/minerals, protein shakes, gas-x strips, peppermint tea, bullion cubes, and heating pad. Anything else that would be helpful? I am getting nervous and want to be as prepared and pain-free as possible!

    Cigna Changed Their Requirements!! What?!?!?!

    BCBS of TX changed the requirements from a required six month diet to no required diet in Feb 2012. Mind you my plan may be different from others. The change made me very happy!
  6. My pre-op appointment is next week although I won't be banded until July 30th. What should I expect? Blood tests? ultrasounds? chest x-rays?

    Cigna Changed Their Requirements!! What?!?!?!

    Lol that's awesome! BCBS did the same thing to me; however, no one notified me (wonk wonk) I found out on my own. Congrats on the great news!

    New Here..lots Of Questions

    Seems like my journey has been forever long but it hasn't in retrospect. I have BCBS of Texas and they changed the requirements in Feb. thus changing my journey. I had to have a BMI of 35 or greater with 2 co-morbidities or greater than 40. I did a sleep study, pscyh eval, several nutritionists appointments, seminar, consult, pulmonary function test, letter from GP, and was then submitted to insurance. I was approved in 48 hours and set a surgery date shortly after...then changed it because of work and family obligations. I am set for surgery on July 30th. I am getting the band with plication. About the loose skin, I agree with the rest...it is better than being overweight and the medical concerns that come with it. Whether you make the choice or not this site is a wonderful sounding board and support system so WELCOME!!!!!!!!!
  10. Lol love the online girl scream I am excited and super nervous! I am having the plication done with the band so I am hoping all goes well. What about you?
  11. Hi all! I am curious how long everyone waited until their first fill (for plicated bandsters)?

    Phsyc Evaluation

    Took a really long survey that asks you questions to determine if you are crazy (i.e. have you been on more than 14 magazine covers this year) hehe Then they talked to you about surgery, weight issues, etc, nothing to sweat.

    I just pushed my surgery date back to July 30th! We had the opportunity to do it when my hubby was home so pushing it back is totally worth it Where are you having yours done?
