April 20 for me.

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

Where in tennessee are you having your surgery done?

Got my approval letter from BCBS this morning and a call from Dr. DeWitt's office, I'm scheduled for April 1st.

My surgery is scheduled for April 6th! I am so excited too!!! I started my pre-op diet today which consist of two protein shakes a day (am & pm) a bowl of soup for lunch (any kind) sugar free jello, pudding, lowfat cottage cheese and sugarfree popcicles.

I am scheduled for April 6th! I am thrilled! I started my 2 week pre-op diet today. We can do this!!!

Hey everyone!! I am scheduled to have my lap-band surgery on April 29th and i start my all liquid diet on April 15th. I'm excited about starting this whole new life and being so healthy cuz i'm only 23 and i've already got so many health issues due to weight,but i'm also so so scared about this whole thing...i'm honestly starting to doubt if i can even do this or not!!!! I have lost the weight i was supposed to,but i tend to bounce back and forth with the eating right and exercising...i don't know what to do!!

Hello everyone,

I originally had a surgery date of March 28, 2011 but that date was cancelled. My new date is April 13th. I will be joining you April Bandsters. Yay!!! My pre-opt diet starts March 30th.

Good Luck to all!

Hello Everyone,
