Thank you. Are you feeling better? When is your first fill?

Well all, my surgery is Tuesday. Have a feeling the bypass is gonna be a lot different than getting a band (more pain, I'm guessing... as if my band wasn't painful enough) Start my diet Saturday. Guess I'm going to spend a couple days being hangry. Just love that word... it says it all. Maybe we can start thinking about a date in January to get together??

My bypass is in a week

Been reading your posts. Thought I'd join in and say hi, so...... "Hi"

Wow!!! What a difference in your face. Looking good!!!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery, and welcome

Welcome to our little forum here. Can't tell you much about the actual surgery (going in in 15 days). I am hoping for you that the surgeon is able to get this done for you in time. I was actually suprised at the number of people revising from a band. Good you found out about the change in your insurance, and are able to be (hopefully) proactive and get this done. Looking forward to getting to know you (and everyone else) better..

WOW. That is fast. I had my band removal in Febuary. Had to gain about 10 pounds , so I got approved and on "the list" in March. Taken me this long to get to the top and have the surgery. Welcome, though. Hoping you will be having your surgery really soon. Would love to have some buddies along the way also.

Yayyyyy. Glad to have someone around the same date as me. Are you all set to go??

It was nice meeting you too. No, you most surely did not ask too many questions. I know we were both happy to answer any you had. The pain is generally from being "blown up" with gas (so they have more room to work). Walking usually helps the residual gas dissipate... right Nora?

we sit by the front door for a few minutes. If you are runing late, just tell the hostess you are with some people. Usually they say we are "with the band" LOL I will probably be there about 5-10 minutes early. looking forward to meeting you. -julie

Glad to hear from ya, and that you're feeling OK (as can be expected, that is)

Guess we can't delete posts anyomre, huh? Comp went crazy.... froze up then sent multiples

BTW, forgot to say good luck with the new store

Actually it is the one at Arapahoe and I-25. Hope you can make it.

Hey all. Hoping we are still meeting on the 4th. My surgery is the 20th and I want to have one of my "last meals" at RR before the big day.

Well, Dan. Your surgery is today!! Please let us know how everything went when you feel up to it. Hopefully you will be able to meet up with us on the 4th.

Works for me. I am in Colorado. Surgery will be on Dec 20,

Good for you, and congrats!!! I am always so happy to see someone who gets approved without half killing themself jumping through hoops. What state is your BC through? I had issues with 2 different states. MI years ago... I wrote letters, got doctor documentation, sent pictures of me from the age I was 6, even went downtown for a personal meeting, and still they said no. Then IL... and they might have paid, if I did everything they wanted. Even though I desperatly needed surgery right away for an incarcerated hernia, they wouldn"t pay to have both surgeries done at the sam e time. Stupid, huh? Why allow the patient to have the surgeries done at ine time? Why not pay for 2 sesperate procedures and force the patient to go under the knife (and through general anesthesia) twice?

Glad you're feeling well enough to get back to work. 23 pounds in 2 weeks. Wow. Impressive. Anxious to hear what your 2 month total is To everone else.... Good luck to all who are still waiting for their surgery. Looks like we"ve all been on a long, roundabout way to get here.

I'm also glad of this site, and hoping it will grow. Until then we will just have to be our own little group and help each other out!!!

Hey losing. Glad we will be on the journey together too. Got my surgery date yesterday. I am scheduled for Dec, 20th. It is going to take a bit longer than a usual bypass because even though I no longer have my band it is considered a revision surgery.

yayy... been awhile. Looking forward to seeing you. j

Hope so!!
