Amazing progress!

I got my call today and i am scheduled for Oct 20th! So excited and scared and excited, lol. Going for my Pre-Op Class Monday morning and meeting with MD and anesthesia on Wednesday. Turned in my request for time off and my boss immediately sent it back approved for 2 weeks and sent me papers to file for STD, in case i need it. OMG, 2 weeks!

Well, I had my endoscopy yesterday and today I passed my nutritional and psychological evaluations so next step is requesting Prior Approval from insurance company. I am so excited.

Durham here.

Gabbykittyvsg-I was actually looking at both of those books on BN last night. Nairobi78-Good luck to you and your visit.

I have met with the surgeon, had my labs, chest xray, and ekg. Scheduled for my endoscopy on 9/30, nutritional and psych eval on 10/1. I am very excited and a little scared but looking forward to the future.

That's a great question. I also am gluten sensitive and was wondering about Protein supplements. If they are gluten free. Beaglelover-yes, there is a blood test to check for gluten sensitivity.

Thanks for all the kind responses. I was also leaning toward the band because it was less invasive and reversible. I want to be well informed and not regret my decision a year from now. I really appreciate the feedback.

hi all. i went to the information session last night fully decided on the band and they made it seem like it wasn't the best choice, how it's fallen out of favor. i was wondering what made y'all decide on the band instead of the other procedures. it seems to me, from this forum, that band are successful if managed well and person does what they are supposed too. i had not wanted something so invasive, but now i guess i am second guessing. my surgical consult isn't until Sept 17th.

thanks so much for all the advice.

I really appreciate all the responses. thanks so much for taking the time to share your wisdom. i am excited and scared at the same time. but i know something needs to change and i want the best outcome possible to take full advantage of the process.

i was wondering what y'all have done that made a huge difference in your weight loss following the band placement. I am currently about 100lbs overweight and am going to a meeting tomorrow night to learn more. i am well researched and am leaning toward the surgery and would like some guidance. love the forums and the support.

You look so amazing!

Do the fills hurt?
