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 got my date yesterday... It is for Nov. 6th. Now I am scared and nervous.

I have the same feelings I'm Nov 5th

Good luck to everyone!

Hi ladies,

I'm late jumping in here... My surgery is Nov 2nd!!! I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet and I'm not going crazy yet... I am getting more hungry than I was yesterday... And getting nervous about the surgery.

Hoping to be a November girl. All pre op is done. Was scheduled for 10/30 and insurance postponed. : ( So having a pitty party. Anyone else had this diappointment??

I am sorry Did your insurance say why they postponed??

Yes, I was originally scheduled for 10/22.. I would be prepping for surgery for Monday... But there was scheduling conflicts with the assisting surgeon... I was totally bummed because I had a set plan for healing time and going to start a new job which was thrown off ... But I'm back on a new plan now where I'll go back to work about 9 days after surgery on 11/2 so it worked out great...

Hope you get that November date!!

The drinks are going ok... I have the chocolate premium Protein shakes from costco .... I actually like them!!!...and I have 100%whey powder to blend with nonfat milk... Also not bad... But I'm used to shakes from prior diets so its not too much of a struggle for me..... I did have some steam broccoli and chicken broth. I think I may need even more calories because 3shakes is just about 600 calories... Besides that I stay drinking Water and decaf tea all day.

I will be banded on Nov 2!
