Ok - Im starting this so all of us - March Bandsters can do this together!!!!

My surgery date is scheduled for March 7th, 2012 and I start my PRE OP on February 22nd, 2012.

Anyone else in March?

How much will it cost you Preneec out of pocket? I have insurance but it seems like it will be over $3,000 when all is said and done.good grief you have the surgeon, the facility, the anesthesiologist and all the fills.

It's costing me $13,500 out of pocket and includes 4 fills for a year. After that $300 for each fill.

I'm new to this forum. I had my Lapland done Monday

How long does this belching go on?

Lol mine was done Monday too. And it's probably good to be belching. My gas pain was in my left shoulder Still there a little. I know I had two hernias to fix but I'm in so much pain still.

im now in my low carb preop diet...i didnt have to do all liquids like it sounds alot of people do...so thats good i guess! the low carb thing isnt so bad just takes alot of preparing and planning meals. but i think it is good practice for post-op! surgery scheduled for 3/14/12..so getting excited but nervous too!

You'll do great!!

Already everyone.... ALL abroad, May date is March 2nd, 2012, cannt wait. Think we will all need help getting threw this.

Will be here when you get home.

Im march 9th...sooooo nervous..good luck everyone!

So it's karma88 again. I have to say I'm a little annoyed. My surgery was March 1 so 5 days ago. No one has called from the Dr or hospital. Now I'm not high mainenence at all but can a girl get a shout out like " hey we noticed we put 6 holes in your belly. How's that going?". Come on. Sorry feeling a little bitchy.

So I had my surgery march 1 so 5 days ago. Still haven't gotten a call from the Dr nurse hospital nothing. Now, I'm really not high mainenence but can a girl get a shout out? Like how about something simple such as " hey we noticed that recently we put 6 holes in you, how's that working out?" I'm just sayin

How are you doing,who was your doctor/group.. I hope things are better. Don't get yourself upset right now.. because you need to stay focused. Stay Strong!

I was Mar 1 also, and since then I have had 2 follow-up calls from the surgery center, and 2 from my Dr's office. I would be upset also. Things going okay?

Hey Sara

Thanks for asking.

I think they are but seriously I have nothing to base it on. I've definitely been improving except for today. No worse than yesterday but no better. I don't see anything that looks like an infection so that's good. Just feel a little abandoned. Glad I have these forums. Thanks
