After 8 months of insurance hoops and appointments I FINALLY have my date!! I'm October 8th and my partner is October 1st. Anyone else here October bandsters? I'm getting very excited!!

First day of diet and I'm grump as hell! On what day does it get better?

I am scheduled for October 9. I have been through my initial timeline of 4 months to an extended timeline of 6 months. I am really excited but anxious at the time. Best wishes to all my fellow October bandsters.

I am finally getting my surgery after meeting all of my insurance requirements! My surgery is on October 3, 2012!! I'm excited and nervous but most of all ready to get it over with.

Ok, I know I can do this, I just feel so p'od at everyone. I'm so glad I'm on sabbatical right ow and serious kudos to everyone doing the diet, working, and not getting fired.

Yay!!!! I have the date and everything, but haven't got insurance approved yet.. Lol. Did your insurance approved yet?

Same here! Scheduled for the 8th ... Finished pre op clearance and everything.but no approval that I know of. I am hungry but I am doing the diet.. Lost 6 lbs since last week.. Funny thing is I'm freezing all the time now.. Go figure.. Re: insurance I'm just putting it in Gods hands if it's his will I will be in surgery Monday . If not I'll be trying to maintain what I've lost on this diet.. I'm so hungry i think im going a bit loopy anyway so I can't think any deeper on it than that good luck October bandsters!!!!

IDK how ya'll can stand going through all of this without approval! It would make me crazy! My doctor's office wouldn't even schedule surgery without an approval letter. I think this is a hard pre-op thing to do, but I know we will all be better for it down the road.

Good job to all of us!!

I don't think I've lost any weight while on this pre-op diet

You and I are on the same day. Yes, the diet thing does suck. I am sick of chocolate shakes and soup.
