I finally got my date today!! Woohoo! Feel like I have been waiting forever. October 18th they offered me the 5th but b/c of my work schedule I could not do it I feel so much better though that I have a date and can now make plans, with time off work etc... Who else is getting banded in October? I think it will be nice to have others to compare feelings and stories with, as we are going through this. Good Luck to everyone! New Chapter here I come :thumbup:

I am having my band put in at the end of September or early October. I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years (done IUIs and then IVF worked but miscarried), I know the weight loss is only going to help. My surgeon really wants people to wait 12 months after being banded, which was really hard for me to consider but I figured if this is going to give me the best chance possible to have a healthy pregnancy then I will do it. Good luck, definitely talk to your doctor about this and get their opinions.

That is wonderful that you have your date. I am waiting to hear from my doctors office, which is really frustrating, b/c I know I have been approved by insurance.
