Julybander

Hi Kelli, not sure how much I can help because I had my surgery a day before yours.. For what it's worth my doc is giving me a fill after three weeks. I asked if that was an issue for healing and he said no. Not sure about two weeks but I was pleasntly surprised that he was getting me started with restriction three weeks out. Good luck!

Thanks Lynette for remembering me. Tomorrow is the day, I hope... There seems to be a bit of a mix-up so I am not 100% having it tomorrow. I wasn't on the hospital's schedule when I called to check today. I spoke to my surgeon and he told me to come in and he would get me in. I am a little anxious about the miscommunication as the office seems a bit scattered with all of the 'business'. I called on Thursday to confirm that I was all set and the office receptionist barely put me on hold before she said yes. Clearly, she didn't check. This isn't really the way I want to go in - not knowing for sure if I will be able to get it done, but what can I do...I will let you know how it goes if it goes. I guess it is good that the hospital is only 45 minutes away.

:gluck:Hi everyone, I too am being banded in July - I guess my name tells you that. I go in on Monday. I am sorry that I missed all of the potential support pre-surgery but will definitely check in post surgery. Anyone else going in on Monday? How are you all doing? I am getting a little nervous about recovery. For those who just went through it on a scale of 1-10 one being best to 10 being worst, how bad was it? url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wFPeGOT/] [/url]

I believe it depends on your insurance. My insurance didn't require it so the office didn't require it. I filled all the other requirements and now have a date for surgery. Hope this helps.
