Just checking in to say hi and see how you are doing... hadn't seen any posts from you lately.

I'm glad to hear that my posts have been helpful. How are you feelings these days? Life has become so busy lately! I am still working full-time as a therapist for Placer County and am in the process of starting a nonprofit counseling center. I'm anxious for my first fill!

Looks like we are both being banded by Dr. Machado. I noticed that your first appointment was in 4/09 and insurance approved after the first letter, and I'm wondering if the 10 month delay was your choice, or if that is the typical timeframe between first appointment and surgery?

Thanks for checking on me! Surgery went quick and easy. Recovery room stay was rather long (10a-4p), but that is because of how large my hernia was. I posted my surgery day experience as a new thread in our bandster bunny forum. ~Nicole

I'm praying for you today and anxious to hear how everything goes.

I'm doing ok. I spent the weekend finishing all the last minute details (packing the hospital bag, picking up the post-op meds, etc). I can't believe I only have 3 days of work this week and then it's time for surgery. If I stop for too long to think about all the unknowns I get pretty nervous. How are you doing? You will also be in my prayers. I will make sure to let you know how mine goes and am anxious to hear about yours as well.

Talk to you soon! ~Nicole
