Im getting banded in September as well, but im worried about being able to stick to the preop diet, i kindof think if were able to be so disciplined in xalorie restriction, i wouldnt be overweight and needing the surgery. Anyone else jave these thoughts?

I am scheduled to get banded Sept 4th. I have my pre-op appointments on tuesday August 28th. So far I have no idea if I will have a pre-op diet. I'm hoping not :P I'm excited, but also nervous. This is going to be a HUGE change. It will be nice to have support from those going through the same thing.

Hopefully me, last PCP Aug 30th then everything to Aetna.

I had my last med supv visit last week; now waiting for insurance approval. Hoping for Sept surgery real soon!

I'm also getting banded September 10th. I'm excited and nervous like everyone else. My pre-op diet is just 1500 calories and low fat. I hear a lot of people do the liquid diets, but my surgeon says its not necessary. I'm a single mom and I'm really worried about being able to get back to normal activities ASAP.

Being banded Sept 4th' date=' start my pre-op diet on Tuesday and just got my approval letter from my insurance in the mail today!!!![/quote']

Hello Fellow Sept Banders,

Good luck!

I'm September 12th.

Sept 14th! My aquaintance is getting her band put over her bypass on the same day!

I have been 2 years attempting to meet the conditions of my insurance. After changing insurances and doing their requirements for 1 year I just got my approval August 16 and I went to my appointment for my Pre Op diet last week. Started it today, I have my appointment with the surgeon tomorrow, can't wait, will get my date that should be in next two weeks. I am so nervous and excited I can't stand it.
