Well I spoke to Liz from the office and she assured me that all the pre-op stuff was done and in their hands (Phsy. evaluation report, nutritional consult, deit history etc.. all they give you to complete) once they have all those reports they give your chart to the person in charged of scheduling the surgeries and that took about a week and a half (make sure they have the right contact infor for you). When she called she gave me the date (the time you get the day be4 surgery) and sent out a letter with your date to get the presurgical testing (which is about a week b4 proceedure) and with the proceedure date and post-op appt date. Plus she will send you a medical clereance form that your primary doctor will need to fill out a week before surgery once you get your presurgical tests. Then you will speak to Lisa and she will get your approval from your insurance. =0) hope this helps. I know the feeling, anxious to get the date so you can plan around it =0) Overall it is a GREAT GREAT GREAT hospital, EVERYONE will treat you with care and Dr.Geiss is amazing. !! I had my proceedure done a week ago, lost 13 lbs. and I feel just great.

HI guys!! I was banded on 07/30/2009 by DR.GEISS in LIJ SYOSSET! I have to say that hospital was just AMAZING!!!.. I would love if we set up a group.. =)

My sugery date is JULY 30 too!!! Omg this diet is killing me haha since I have to cook for my family and can't eat! lol.. Im really concerned because I want my liver to co operate!!! and do not want any complications but I think I may be pushing the diet a bit too much with just drinking water and eating 1 non fat pudding a day..?? =0(

Yay, Im also going to get banded on thursday, how is the pre-op diet going for you?
