yep. got a date! Jan 4th 2010. after a longgggg process... :thumbup:

yay!!! I also got my date today. Its set for jan 4th. congrats and best wishes!

so.. i started this band process in March of this year and I first saw my surgeon June 23rd. I only had to have 3 other test done and i got all that done july 24th. i was approved by my insurance sometime in july .. sooo I have been waiting for my surgery date for almost a month! All i want is my date... i dont care if the surgery is soon, just a date so i can de-stress! is it just me ? or would other people be upset?! i have called the surgeons office everyweek! and its the same reponse everytime. help me! or just listen! :thumbup:

i feel the pain... I take meds for depression and thats soemthing my surgeon said " that my depression has to be in control before i can have surgery" well... they keep puttin my date off so now.... im more depressed! i have to do a support support for a year after my surgery. soo..... i feel your pain about the meds... but i would take care of it now before they say u cant have surgery tilll its controled... but keep your head up and just remember : your not the only one! take care!

good luck!!! everything will go fine!

I got a call Friday from the surgeons office saying i must go to a support group first and then go for a year after my band and i must also bring my boyfriend to go meet the diet lady so we can learn more about this surgery... im sorry. but that a line of bullshit. so i cant banded until i do this. what next?! so it will be another month or more till i get my surgery date! if i get it! :cool2:

trust me i know where your coming from.. but you are just starting the process and have a little ways to go... I have been waiting for my surgery date for a month now.. i started this process of getting approved by insurance and all the blood work, and whatever else i had to get done in march of this year. But then again some other states its much faster. Here in Roanoke,Virginia.... its the SLOWEST!!!! but i have learned to bug the crap out of the offices! I call my surgeons office once a week... bugging.. and ill keep doin that till I get an answer/surgery date.... I hope i didnt upset you cause that wasnt my meaning, just lettin you know, lots of us are in the same boat you are.

im kinda in the same boat :/
