Very good point and I'm glad it gets better!! I will just try to work and sleep. Lol You are getting a nice little break for nov!! That is good though, so you can make sure you get rest to recover. I hope you have a fabulous day 3!!

Woohoo congrats!!!!

Yay, that is awesome!!

Any chance i can get in on that? . Katie.strange03@gmail if you have a chance

You will rock this! There are so many inspirational stories on youtube. Proofwlsworks, back2basicswls, banded wendy, kacey kwinn, newtoy4kt...

This is so hard, but i know this will pass. I got all shaky, nauseous, and have a headache,and it is only day one. Pushing through, and know it will get better. Hopefully since i get to drink shakes i will feel better. Less than two weeks though! Woot woot!

Nothing, because thankfully my out of pocket is met in 2012!

Yes lol. So all will be good tonight when i can have water. I pick up my shakes at my appointment tonight too. How are yours??

Woohoo congratulations!!

How is it going? Today is my first day, and it is a little rough right no because no drinks for me until tonight. I would be fine if i could have water and coffee. Lol. I cant have anything until after my ultra sound tonight. Boo. Lol. I will get through this!! I

Coffee oddly enough supresses my appetite and calms my stomach and i only drink plain black coffee. My nutritionist said if that is the case, then it is fine.

Beth, i just send you a request too! Another Illinois nov bander!

So happy for you!!!! Congrats!

Mine wouldn't make the appointment before either, so I totally understand the antsy feeling. In fact I have my date, and am antsy now for different reasons. Now I am sitting here trying to do/think of anything else, but I can't lol

Welcome, and congrats on your decision! The doctor told me only a week, i have a desk job. If you have a physical job, you might want to take a little bit more time. I am also a student, but it won't effect it too much, because my classes are online. I will only be in the hospital for 23 hours or less!

My insurance approval took about a week. I went to my first meeting with the surgeon on Sept 19, so the process has gone pretty fast for me. I got my date about a week after approval, because I had to have my nutritionist class, and pulmonologist clearance first. How exciting for you! I hope you hear back soon! What insurance company do you have? I called BCBS daily to check on it lol

Is anyone else so excited that they can't think about much else? LOL I am driving myself crazy, because all I can think about is how excited i am lol

Hi! I am also getting banded November 6th. There are a bunch of us in the Preop section. Good luck! I am so ready for this!

I am sorry Did your insurance say why they postponed??

Yay another November bander! How are the drinks going in the pre op diet? I heard it gets better around day 5, but i will soon find out. lol I hear you about the nerves. Once I got the date, i got a little nervous too. I am sure i will be a wreck closer to the date

HN, I could use all the support, I can get! You can look me up on fb with the email mrskstrange@yahoo.com

I just sent you a request Ruth!
