I'm scheduled for the 16th and have been concerned about the same thing. I'm curious to see the responses. I too have been emotional. Best of luck to you!

Mine is set for May 16th!! Nervous but really excited!!

Yaayy!! My surgery is May 16th! Can't believe it either and I'm so excited too! Our journey will begin very soon!! :0)

May 16th in California.

I'm sending you good vibes! I hope it turns out well for you today and that you're feeling better (all around) soon. I'm sorry that your husband isn't on board, I hope he comes around ...but good for you for wanting to make changes for YOU. Best of luck!

Thank you very much! I will be banded on May 16th and reading this helps me prepare a great deal! I am excited for the opportunity to change my life in a positive way, but understand the work to be done. I love reading the advice from the experienced people. Good job on a thorough summary.

I am scheduled for May 16th! I live in Northern California. I am super excited and can't wait! I find the supportive comments on here very helpful and inspiring. So glad to be a part of it!

Beautiful! Good for you!! :0)

No surgery date yet. I have to wait for an approval from the insurance company. After tomorrow's appt. they can submit everything ...then I wait.

I'm super hopeful for an April surgery date! It all depends on the insurance. I'm excited and can't wait to get there. I read all these posts and it keeps me motivated and excited! Best of luck to all of you with surgery dates!

Hey rdm, I hope this next 6 months flies for you! Since you've gone thru this a couple years ago, you know what to expect. I look forward to hearing about your progress. My appt. is at 3:30 on Wednesday and it is a one on one. I did my group one on 3/19. There is probably a group meeting earlier that you'll be attending. Keep me posted! :0)

Rdm - so happy for you that you're ready to go! Me too! I hope we can take this journey at the same time. It'd be nice to have a buddy, going through the same Dr's office. Next Wednesday I meet with the nutritionist for my one on one visit. That'll be the last thing to do before they send off for approval. Please keep me posted on your progress. What area do you live in?

Wow! Congratulations! That's very impressive. Keep up the great work!

I am brand new to this website. I live in Pollock Pines and I met with Dr. Machado at Sacramento Bariatric on 3/12/13. I really like her!! I am super excited about changing my life! Next week I do a lot of the pre-op stuff (nutritionist, EKG and Psych) then they can send off to Anthem BC PPO for approval. I am so hopeful that it all goes smoothly (and quickly). Congrats to all of you who have already gone through the process! I hope to join you in April!
