Tomorrow is my big day. I am getting so excited but nervous at the same time. Good Luck everyone!

I'm having surgery on the 4th and he is my surgeon. He has been awesome so far, no complaints.

Got my official date today, March 4th. I am on day 4 of pre-op diet. I'm so excited but yet nervous all in one. Good luck everyone!

I go to the doctors tomorrow and they will schedule my surgery then. I am hoping for next week since they have had me on my pre-op diet since Saturday. Getting really excited.

Valarie good luck!

So I got good news yesterday, the insurance approved the surgery. I wasn't able to get an official date but was told to start my 2 week pre-op diet. I'm getting so excited and nervous at the same time!

I am still waiting for the insurance company to approve my surgery but I understand what you are going through. My husband who is very supportive on whatever I decide to do, told my mom that I had a referral to see a bariatric surgeon. He did not know I did not tell her, so she went off. She said there are to many things that can go wrong and so on and so on. I have not told her that I am following through and getting banded. I want to but I do not want to hear the negative stuff that she will say. My friends are very supportive though and I am thankful for that. I have only told one of my brothers and his wife and thats it. I am at a cross to tell the rest of my family or not. I do not want the negative that you have received. Also I have not started my pre-op diet so I cannot answer you question on that. Good Luck!

I finally got word yesterday that the counselor finally sent in the letter needed. Now I am just waiting on my insurance company to approve the surgery. I am getting so excited and ready for a change. I am hoping that I have a March surgery date.

I am hoping for a March surgery. I have been waiting on the counselor to fax over his letter to the doctor for a week now. I have been trying the meal replacements from GNC and they are pretty good. And yes I am very nervous. Good luck to everyone!
