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?

I hope I can be a Nov bander but waiting for insurance togive ok.

I go in tomorrow for my band and I haven't had a full nite sleep since last Friday.

I know that feeling! I tried to put myself to sleep with Tylenol PM and the chicken soup protein mix by Unjury today. . . It didn't work! Lol I just can't wait. . . I am so ready for this journey!

Good luck to you! After 4 months of following this forum and 1 cancelled surgery I met with my anesthetist this morning. No issues! My surgery is scheduled this Friday 16 Nov at 0800 Pacific time. I too am very nervous and anxious but I can't wait!

Well day two of fourteen liquid only. When this is over I may never drink a shake again. I am allowed three shakes a day with skim milk and 1 cup of broth to cut sweetness lol dosen't work that well. Get scoped this Friday and meet anesthesiologist then the 25th is dday. I have talked to several Co workers that have had this and are doing great they really cheered me up and made me feel i made the right choice. 1 friend lost 175 pounds which is kind of my goal and he gave me a lot of pointers. Thank God for that. For the first time in a while I really feel like I am making the right choice and I am very excited now. I was looking at pictures of myself back in the day and I can't wait to look like that again come on 180. Good luck to us all I'm praying for everyone!

First post-op dr appointment today. Down 17lbs! Everything looks good!

I know. . .it's like CHRISTMAS in November!

I have been absent … imagine my shock to see nearly 400 posts! Wow!

I had some setbacks w/ pre-op testing.

Just my luck, a very ambitious doctor threw me through every test imaginable and I just NOW got clearance for my Lap! Yeah!

I will find out in a few days what my surgery date will be, but I now know that I will not be on the November 'band'wagon … soooo I guess I need to start something for December! LOL! My surgery date will possibly be the 18th … I hope … we shall see!

So how are all of you doing!?!? I have a lot of reading to catch up on!

I go in tomorrow for my band and I haven't had a full nite sleep since last Friday.

I really do feel for you, mine is just under 2 weeks and I can't sleep, good luck praying for you!

Most of us on this particular thread are PRE-OP. . .so we can't sleep because we are filled with anticipation of being on the other side of the surgery. . . We want to be like you, "already banded"! Lol
