Any one haveing their lap band done in April??? lets be bandster buddys through our jurney im so excieted

I am hoping to be an April Bandster. My first appt. is March 23rd and I am on a FastTrack which means I am suppose to have the surgery about 45 days from my first appt. Hopefully that means April, but might be May. Now just need to get the money together. I dont want to wait for the insurance and they might not approve me anyway, since im on the borderline of 35 bmi. Wish me luck!

I'm having my band fitted on the 13th April and I cannot wait / weight!!! I'll happily be a band buddy with you

I am scheduled for Monday, April 4th!!!! Sooo nervous & excited!!

april 5th surgery date...I have to do the low-carb Atkins diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I am super excited and am literally counting down the days!!!

I have a date for April 5th for surgery. It is a new program at our hospital, two surgeons will be there one with much experience! The first 5 patients are employees of the hospital like me. The only stumbling block is BCBS of Tennessee. They keep on finding new issues with the whole deal! So pray for me that it really does happen asap. I've been waiting forever it seems. To those who don't plan to go through insurance, and do self pay........I was told by the insurance case manager that if you do self pay insurance will not cover complications. That is scary. Kelley

I have mine scheduled for 4/15!

april 18 at 10:45 am!!! I have so much to do for my pre op, saw my surgeon yesterday---its a little overwhelming and a bit surreal, I've been planning this since last summer. And now its really happening. I started the pre op diet on feb 28 cause I figured it would take a little work to get used to it, its been hard a couple of times but I'm getting the hang of it--I am down 26 lbs already and that feels great.

Good luck and hugs all around!

UPDATE:

Got my surgery date yesterday..... April 26th!

I'm so excited!

I am scheduled for Monday, April 4th!!!! Sooo nervous & excited!!

@KaylaTX...I'm so glad that you are feeling better about the surgery. I was reading over your post about the preband jitters and I'm so glad you have decided to go through with it and even better, are excited!!! I'm getting banded 10 days after you on April 14th and I can't wait!!!

I'm so glad that we have this site. I have learned so much and had so many questions answered. I love to be able to interact with all of you!!! What a great support system we have!!!

Good luck to all!!

I'm scheduled for April 7th with Slimband in Toronto. I'm going through a whole range of emotions right now...nervous, scared of the unknown, sad to be saying goodbye to my old lifestyle, hopeful and excited for the future. Whatever may come, I'm sure it will be one hell of a journey!

YES!!! I am having mine on April 5th! So very excited, yet getting very nervous. I have to do the 30day Protein diet. This is rather difficult, but will be so worth it in the end. I cannot wait to be rid of the "fat girl"!!!

I'm scheduled for April 18th. I was originally scheduled for May 16th but the surgeon's office called and said that he was going to be out of town so I need to reschedule. I jokingly asked if they had anything sooner than later and to my surprise they did, so there I am, scheduled for April 18th instead of May 16th. Guess it was a sign that I'm supposed to be getting this done despite my cold feet. Scared, excited & nervous :woot::Dancing_wub: :grouphug:

Date scheduled for April 21st!
