The November 'band'wagon!

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? :D

Happy Halloween ! Looks like most of us November banders are doing well, Friday for me is not far and really getting excited and nervous all at once, Good luck to all and I'm trying to open an new fb account to join in on the fb family. Hang in there we will all be much smaller next Halloween

Tommarrow I go in at 6:45 am and will be banded by 10:45. Nervous but excited at the same time.

Good luck samcclintick, will be thinking of you while I drink my broth Best of luck and take care

I'm so depressed! I was scheduled to be banned Friday but can't because I broke my ankle and the doc is worried about blood clots. I'm glad he's looking out for me but just disappointed.

OOO I m so sorry I know you must be disappointed wish I could do something for you , How long recovery for ankle ? Just don't let this lead you down the path of bad foods

stay with support group and you will get through this.

I've been with the broken ankle for 3 weeks now I have to do another 3. I cried and cried when the doctor told me. Today my blood pressure was the best it's been in 2 years. I felt like everything was going great. I'm really disappointed but I do know its for the best.

Can the not put in the filter? I had the option of having it installed if I wanted before the surgery to filter out any clots.

Tomorrows Surgery day for me too!!!...I woke up early this morning with my mind racing and thinking about surgery... A little nervous but not scared!! Focusing on other things help .... I might go to a movie tonight to keep my mind occupied...... On clear liquids only yesterday and today and had to deal with passing out Halloween candy yesterday!!! So tempting but I was good!!... Hoping I did my job well these last two weeks and lost some fat around my liver.... I'm down 10 lbs or maybe a little more ( my scale is untrustworthy.. Lol)

Good luck tomorrow and heal well!

Back from the pre op visit, now just a waiting game until the 7th, the clear liquids, and then surgery at 1:30 on the 8th.

Had my pre op today Surgery Monday at 7 am. Sooo xcited right now!!!!

I am scheduled for November 5th!!! So ready to have that behind me and be on the road to recovery.
