Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here.

I am hoping to be!!!! I have done a whirlwind to get here.. now I am hoping. I have managed to get everything done, and am waiting on my surgical consult on March 23rd for a date. I had pre-requested time off in May for a family function that was cancelled, so I am hoping to occupy that time working on Project Tamera.. We will see! Once I get my date, I will confirm, maybe we can be buddies!

I will find out on March 30th when my surgery will be scheduled. I am thinking/hoping/praying for a May date too

I am hoping for May too. I finish up my 6 month diet in April then submit to insurance for approval. Fingers crossed for a quick approval.

Hi, I'm May also. My date is May 6th, assuming nothing comes up. I already have insurance approval and I have to go to the hospital on April 12th for pre admission testing. If everything is OK then May 6th is the day!!! I am scared, they better sedate me when I enter the building or they will have a crying, babbling baby on their hands !!!!

I have my medical clearance on March 23rd. My last nutrition appt is April 7th and I am also hoping to get my results back from my sleep study around this time. I saw my pulm. on the 9th, which was my last doctor I needed to see and the soonest I could get me in for a sleep study was March 27th and results take 2 weeks to get back. When I first met with my surgeon he scheduled my surgery for May 11th. I think I will have exactly 31 days when I get my sleep study results, hopefully that is enough time to submit to Cigna and get an approval.

Hi I'm new here but my surgery is scheduled for may 31. I probably could have scheduled it before then but I'm in college and as much as I want this surgery done I also want to pass my classes. I'm so ready for this to get here and be done with it and move on with my new life in which I won't physically be able to eat everything in sight. I'm excited at the thought of feeling full for once without having to first eat more food than one should be able to at one time. Thanks for listening to me ramble my soon to be banded friends!

I'm not a May 2011 bander, but a May 2010 bander. Just wanted to say good luck to you guys! Can't believe it's almost been a year.

I am hoping to be a May bander!! My deductible with Cigna resets in June, so we are doing everything we can to get me approved for May as soon as possible. I have my cardiologist appt next week, and the psych eval the week after. April will be my last nutrition class and weigh in. My endoscopy is scheduled for the end of this month, but may have to move to April. All of a sudden everything is coming together, and i'm starting to get nervous!

I'm just finishing up the 6 month Life Style program, and will have my last weigh in April 15th. Then off for insurance approval. SO, I'm hoping for a May surgery date. Looking forward to hearing about everyone's journeys...

I am scheduled for May 2.

How exciting!! Does your Dr. require a pre op diet?

I am scheduled for May 2.

I am hoping to get banded the second week in May. My husband has taken that week off so he can help out with everything. Everything should be submitted to the insurance company this week and I hope to be able to schedule soon.

Look at your progress.. that is GREAT!!! way to go... I'm hoping to have as much success as you in a year....
