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 will be banded on Nov 2!

Are you on the pre-op diet? How's it going?

Insurance is just being slow on paperwork. This hospital is a satellite from Tufts in Boston and is new at bariatric surgery. But if other insurers are ok, not sure why bc/bs had to be dragging their feet.

Yikes sorry for the triple play! My tablet is acting funky.

I should have mine on nov 2 my 3rd day on pre op and it a lil hard but ok

I am scheduled for November 1st and very excited. Protein shakes and dinner of 7oz lean meat and 2 cups of veggies. Also suppose to walk at least 30 minutes a day. Clear liquid diet 4 days before diet no sugar or carbonation. Did I spell that right???

Yes spelled perfectly!

We are on the same timeline... Day 3 for me surgery Nov 2nd.... I woke up really hungry and not in the mood for a cold Protein shake... I wanted something warm and filling... But I sucked it up and just had the shake... The lbs are falling off already!!! I'm down 4 lbs in 2 days.

Think I'll call my nutritionist tomorrow because we never really set up a pre-op meal plan.... Yours sounds great because at least you get to eat7 oz meat... Mmmmm sounds so yummy right now.. All I've had is steam broccoli and chicken broth... Which wasn't the most horrible thing in the world but a little grill chicken would be nice!

That's fabulous! So glad to have a band buddy.

This senior is ready to go Nov. 2, had some ? about insurance but Dr says ok to go now. I go on 29th for pre surgery testing 2 hr. nutritionist, and I guess I will be given a pre op diet at that time, I plan on cutting out carbs and sugar completely next week. I guess all Dr. do it different.Good luck to all

Nov 8 is my date yahooo
