Hello, is there anybody out there that is having LAP-BAND® surgery at the end of July or around then? I would love to find someone that's has the same surgery on the same day. I don't actually have a certain date yet because my last weigh in is July 6th then my insurance has 72 hrs to approve or not approve it. Then I will have a date!! I am really excited and want to really get into this and do things right. It would be so much fun to have someone to talk to that's going thru the same thing at the same time. So, if your interested let me know.

:rolleyes:Me.me me!!! I am getting banded next month as long as all the insurance issues come through. Ive done it all and Dr. Says im good to go. Everything is done blood tests, psych eval, nut, everything. Now just waiting for the final peice of paper. I am soooo excited to start my new life! I would love to go on this journey with you and who ever else wants to join! Its so nice to have someone to talk to about everything!:thumbup:

Though I was originally banded last October I am getting a new band ( as mine was removed) in July.

I feel like I forgot everything about how to eat with a band. Hopefully it is like riding a bike but I am sure there will still be come challenges. My blog talks all about my experience when I first got banded and I have found I am reading it again just to give myself a refresher on what life was like when I first got banded.

I would love to join up to talk to you aswell. I am getting my band done 21st July. Im really excite about this process.

Cheers Sharon

Yeah!!!! Sounds like we are all going to be doing this around the same time. We can talk to each other everyday for encouragement. I have NEVER been on a website and talked to people other than FB, so I really don't know what I am doing or how I'm supposed to do it. :thumbup: I dont even know what a "thread" means.

Well, I am having a 2nd surgery to place my band on Aug 2nd. My 1st was April 3rd and I had too much scar tissue so they had to bring them down and then wait a couple of months to heal. I have all the same scars though, so it looks like I had the surgery but there was no band when I woke up! But I can't wait for Aug to get here. Although, I have lost 10 lbs since my surgery which was just a little more than I gained before my surgery!! Good luck to all of you! :thumbup:
