February Bandsters?

I know there's a special section for this, but it doesn't seem to be too popular so I'll give it a whirl here..

Anyone here to be banded in February besides me?

My surgery date is February 15th.

Feel free to add me on Facebook for support, etc. =]

Hi ladies! Another Feb bandster here!! I was submitted to approval on Tuesday and within an hour and a half the surgeons office called me and said I was APPROVED!!! I still can't believe it. My date is Feb 3rd so it looks like I may be the first of us in the month eek!!

I started a blog with my journey - it's in my signature. Please follow my journey and I would love to follow all of you as well. That way we can see what we are experiencing at the same time, work out our frustrations and more :) The more support the better I think!!

Happy New Birthdays to us!!

February 8th for me! I can't believe its finally here...and now I'm finding myself counting down the days! We all need to stick together for sure and let everyone know how we are doing!! I just got work taken care of today...If all goes well I shouldn't even be out ..since I work part time. The shitty thing about it is that my boyfriend wanted to plan this nice night at a hotel for us for valentines day and its all you can eat and drink- that most DEF. won't be happening now! Oh well this in the long run will be soo worth it so its okay!! smilielol5.gif

I am also hoping for a February band date! My surgeon's office told me they submitted my insurance information on Friday - now they have 2 weeks to respond. As soon as I hear I will schedule my surgery and start my 2 weeks of protein shakes. I completed everything...and even had an EGD I didn't know I needed on Thursday.

Looks like a great group here too...super excited to be a part of the February bandsters!

Hi - my surgery date was originally scheduled for Jan. 18 but I had to postpone it to Feb. 1st. Work has been crazy and I knew I wouldn't have been able to relax with all that was going on. I told my boss I am not postponing it again! I had my EGD last Wednesday...according to doctor...very large hernia...so I will be so glad not to have to take meds for that...I take two heartburn meds a day and plus pop Tums throughout the day...absolutely annoying! Has anyone had a bad reaction to Propofol? They gave it it me for my EGD and that night I was so violently ill. It was scary. Anyway, looking forward to getting this started! Yay - February bandsters!

Just waiting for Ins approval. Got approval from Doc. Hopping for February. But I know you will all think im crazy, but im having second thought. Did anyone else have a freak-out before surgery ?????

Worried about certain things...it helps to see all of the success from everybody in here though!!!!

Well, faxed in the Insurance stuff Friday the 13th and was approved today. Full Steam ahead. Looking at Feb 20th. Woohoo!!!!!!!

Well I got my date and its Feb. 1st!!! omg Im a nervous excited wreck because its real now hehee! Im actually glad its sooner than expected, I overthink things so the faster Im there the better! Also I love the date cuz 02.01.2012 looks good lol, total luck but yea Ive been thinking of a tat and wanted to incorporate the digits of the day my life turns around!
