I just received a call and my surgery is scheduled for December 27th. I'm anxious, nervous, and excited. I can't wait for the next step of this journey.

I can remember when I got the call I was so excited as I had been turned down three times by my insurance company. Welcome to the forum learn all you can from past posts and stay in touch, hugs

Welcome! Lassie gave you great advice about learning all you can before surgery. There's a lot that the Drs. don't tell you, like "Bandsters Hell",never heard of it until coming here. Hang out here and ask questions.

Beethin!

Werlcome aboard! read all this place has to offer, which is a lot! good and bad! you will learn from it all. Good Luck on your new journey!

Thanks ladies, I plan on learning all I can. The good thing is I know a few people that have been banded and they are very supportive.
