    My surgery date is May 25th! I am currently finishing day 2 of my pre op diet which so far is not going well at all. Mine is an all liquid 800 calorie diet. No solids, no veggies.. Two days in and I'm

I have my final appointment with my surgeon on April 11th! Looks like I will be FINALLY getting surgery in May. This process has taken FOREVER! I started everything in October, so I am definitely ready to finally get it done. The anticipation is killing me! :)

Have one more weigh in, and a stress test to do.... And, then off to the insurance for approval..

I am scheduled for May 6th. The approval process actually stunned me. My last supervised weight loss appointment was on February 18th I got an approval on Feb. 28th. I was given April 1st as the 1st possible surgery date, but unfortunately I could not get off work due to state testing at my school. The next possible date was May 6th. Since my birthday is at the end of May, I consider it a very swanky birthday gift to myself.

I am scheduled for surgery on April 18th. Currently on my 2 week diet. I am getting very excited.

I am 99% sure that I'll be getting mine in May. I just had my pre-op medical and psych clearance, plus clearance from the nutritionist. Now, my doc just wants me to lose 20 pounds, and I only have 8 more to go! I'll be heading back in after those 8 are gone, and then the date will be set.

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'm going to be banded in May, I just don't know what date yet! :)

I had my last nutrition appointment last night! It finally feels so real. I go on Wednesday for my sleep study results. I hope eveything went okay because my surgery is already scheduled for May 11th. I hope I don't have to have a repeat sleep study with the CPAP machine; I guess I'll find out Wednesday.

May 3 is my date. I'm not nervous at this point. I have pre-surgical supplements, but no diet. Do you? I'm thinking of stikcing mostly to protein drinks the week before, anyway.

I have a 2 week liquid diet and I don't even get to choose my own brand of protein drink. My Dr only has 2 choices both of which you have to get through him. But I'm ok with that I guess.

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.

when i did my sleep study i got it back in a week and had to go back in for other one cause i have sleep app and have a cpap now so good luck and make sure you go there sleepy

I was told not liquid diet was required but that the doctor would suggest that I incorporate Protein shakes into my diet prior to the surgery. I meet with him on the 25th to go over the surgery.

My surgery date is May 4th, 2011!! I have been waiting since October because my insurance had put me on a waiting list and now the

time is here! I cannot wait and good luck to you!

I went there sleepy the first time, but I could fall asleep. I think they need to come up with a way to do these studies at peoples houses. They would probably get better results. I also think I was worried about not letting the pulse ox fall off my finger when I was sleeping. I was so tired and couldnt stop yawning, but I had to wait because the tech was hooking someone up before me. It was wayyy past my normal bedtime.

My surgery date is May 4 also! Where are you? I live in Columbus OH! My anesthesia consult is this friday. Other than that I am ready to go.
