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?

Finally a date!!! November 8th! Started the process the end of August' date=' 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.[/quote']

Do you have Facebook? We have a November bandster sight it's a little easier to navigate..

Getting closer to my surgery I'm becoming a ball of nerves and I can't sleep quite annoying!!!! Anyone up out there???

November 16 is my date and I'm so excited!!

Good luck everyone who's having surgery today. I have been on the protein shakes' date=' broths, jello and ice pops for 11 days. My surgery is next Tuesday. My stomach is not handling these shakes very well. Anyone else having these problems??? I can't wait for cottage cheese. Never thought I would say that. LOL.[/quote']

I just got banded on 11/1 and did the pre-op diet for 2 wks before, which included mostly protein shakes. Unfortunately, they really upset my stomach too. I think for me it's because of all the artificial sweetener. I found a brand called primal fuel that's pretty good. It uses all natural ingredients.

Just got thru surgery last night, Nov 2....so I did end up staying the night in hospital. So far since home 11am on to now 4pm, I have downed about 35 oz including 30 grams of protein. No gas pains, 6 cuts, largest 1.5 inches it looks like. More sore if I move in getting up or down, walking fine. Sugar count was high after surgery but fine now. Good to be on the other side......

Finished shopping today for food, vitamins, and prep, now just the waiting game til Thursday.

I had double insurance coverage in July and my primary would not approve the lapband but the secondary would. I actually quit my job so I wouldn't have the coverage that was stopping me from having the procedure. I am thrilled that I am getting banded on November 9! That's next week, I'm excited and a nervous wreck but looking forward to a soupy thanksgiving for sure!
