My Pre-op Testing is complete! I am so anxious for all the results to be in so I can have my appointment with my surgeon!!! :glare: I am sooooooooo ready to get started with the whole thing. I have PCOS and this is the sure cure for all those horribly disgusting side effects. (Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome) :sigh: I also suffer from GERD and this will surely cure that as well! I'm going to feel like a whole new person... Anyone have any ideas for Pre-Op liquid diet? I've already started to buy Slim-Fast, but I know I'll be starving! I love Jell-o and drink broth often- is that all there is to drink? I'm so lost and cannot even begin to think outside the box on this... Maybe I'll be a May Flower??? How exciting!!! WOOHOooooo P.S. I'm going to Mexico April 2009- I'm going to wear a BATHING SUIT instead of shorts and a t-shirt in the pool!!!!!!!!!!:smile:

I think I'm going to post a PCOS Thread... Too many of us have it and I would love to learn how the symptoms are being handled post-surgery! I really am anxious to see what happens... Thank you for all the support! I love these threads. They are really helping me along...

My surgeon gave me a list of PCP's that support WLS... I found one that is amazing and on my insurance! Maybe you should try asking your surgeon... Good Luck!!!

My surgeon gave me a list of doctors to see that were on my insurance that they knows would approve of the surgery. My PCP would never do it. He recommended me to a nutritionist and that was all he would do. So I have an appointment with a new doctor on the 27th. She will order my pre-tests and I should be good to go by May 1st!:thumbup:

That is amazing... I am thrilled for you! I make extra food so I can have leftovers- i guess I'll be saving a lot of money on groceries! LMAO I am so excited I can't stand it!!!

Good Luck to all those getting banded soon. I just received my Care Credit card to pay for my band! Congrats to all those who just got banded... Hope you're up and about soon and feeling Great! Just stay focused on the reason you made this important life changing experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You!!! I don't know where I was, but that o.k!!! LOL

Thank you! These docs are in a "center of excellence" too! I've made up my mind to go ahead with the procedure. I'm paying cash so I have some bills to pay off and I'll be on my way within 2 months! I'm so excited!!! (I just paid off my husband's student loan on Friday- WOOOHOooooo)

Hey Quinn, Congrats to you on your decision to be banded, I too have been putting in countless hours trying to decide on the best procedure, time, and doctors. Congrats on the engagement as well... Best of Luck to you!!!
