On June 14th I met with the doctor and began the journey of testing and evaluations. This coming Wednesday I will (hopefully) have my meeting to review my sleep study results and receive my final green light of clearance!

I am praying all goes well and that Amerihealth Insurance doesn't deny me after all these months of testing and anticipation.

I think a little puree turkey will do just fine this year for Thanksgiving… here's to crossed fingers for a November banding!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Thanks!!

Hi!! Nice to meet you!! Excited to join you on this journey!!

Finally a date!!! November 8th! Started the process the end of August, had all my insurance requirements met by October 5th. Meet with doctor on October 10th, then he was out of town for two weeks, longest two weeks ever! But today the office called and scheduled me.

It sounds like you started your pre op liquid diet. Mine starts tomorrow, and Im a little worried . Stay encouraged! This phase will not last forever!

I have cleared all the hurdles, going for pre op stuff tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Nov 8. REally excited. My doctor just told us to follow a diet that worked for you, nothing special. I am nervous and so excited.....

2 more days!!!! Friday is my band day. I can't wait. I'm down 15lbs from pre op diet. It's been a bit of a struggle but I'm already starting to feel better. Keep up the good work everyone!

• what type of pre diet have you done?
  

I drink 2 bariatric advantage meal supplement shakes a day plus jello, broth and all no calorie sugar free drinks and 1 small meal in the evening. It was a little hard, by the 3rd day I was struggling but got through it.

Hello everyone will be boarding my plane in about 30 min to head to Houston my pre op is tomorrow and surgery Monday. So far down 10 lbs on pre op started last Monday.
