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!
