Who else is getting banded in August?

I'm pushing for August! I have nutrition this friday and psych next thursday. Hopefully both will send reports to my surgeon in a resonable about of time, so they can submit to insurance for approval. I am really really keeping my fingers crossed.

All my co-workers keep telling me that it will be here before i know it... well... it's not getting here fast enough for me!

I get banded on the 4th !!! cant wait .

I get banded on August 2 by Dr. Rumbaut in Monerrey, Mexico. Excited, nervous, it's sureal and will only become more so. Breathe breathe breathe.

hey! we're surgery buddies!!!! yay!!!

i havent done the upper gi . but i scared becuase i have to do the sleep study . where are you from ? how are you doing on the diet ?

I can't wait for the day my doctor's office call or I call the insurance and find out I am approved!!! Ready to schedule.

My date is Aug. 3. Which is my mom's birthday. I was given a July date but I wanted to enjoy my 2nd wedding anniversary which is Aug 1. and hubby's bday is the 2nd. It feels so far away that I want to switch back but I'll wait!

The GI series was the worse test I took! They give you this white liquid to drink that is thick, pasty, and disgusting. You have to drink it while you have about 50 xrays taken! But its done, over with and well worth it!

My Surgery is August 5!!! I can't wait..I have to start my pre-op diet July 15! Good Luck Everyone!!

i havent done the upper gi . but i scared becuase i have to do the sleep study . where are you from ? how are you doing on the diet ?

YAY for August WLS peeps!

The sleep study is a breeze. All you have to do is sleep . The Gi Series is the worse of the worst for me. They make you drink this pasty liquid that taste.........pasty! You have to keep drinking it as they take a series of xrays of it traveling down your system. It felt like torture because it was the most horrible thing to drink.......EVER! I almost was sick on several occassions. *To subdue the taste try bringing chocolate mix to make it taste better. Its something the doctor may approve but don't tell you*

i havent done the upper gi . but i scared becuase i have to do the sleep study . where are you from ? how are you doing on the diet ?

I just want to get it all over with! I have all these pre-op appointments. I just want to be done!

How long are y'all taking off work for after your surgery.
