my date is april 10 anyone else have theirs on that day? im excited

I'm super excited! My surgery is this Fri April 19. I have to pick up a prescription for phenergan tomorrow and pack my bag for the surgery center. I know that lap band isn't a miracle for weight loss, but after years of battling an extra 50-80lb excess, it feels like one. Honestly the turning point for me was my lumbar discectomy and fusion. My neurosurgeon advised me to be on the low side of my healthy weight. I haven't seen that in 27 years!

Good luck I am 2 months out and loving my results. First week after surgery for me was rough, but it pays off in the end.

I'm not looking forward to anymore protein shakes but my Dr is pretty strict about the first two weeks of diet after banding with plication. So far I'm down 8lbs. Congratulations on your successful banding.

Lellow, wouldn't it be great if they had something like fix a flat for the band?

Seriously, I am so sorry this is happening to you. Please let us know if we can offer some moral support.

I wish! Though recently I had a CT scan and they replaced the saline in my band with contrast and I had restriction for a good two days. I was almost hopeful that it has plugged the leak up! But nope, it's gone again now.

Never mind, just 12 days to my band replacement now. Welcome too to all the new bandsters!!

Hi, everyone. I'm so anxious to be in all of your shoes!! I have the seminar next Tuesday and then I have to go through the whole rigamarole of getting this passed through my insurance. I'm praying that this will be a relatively short process.

dont worry it will go fast have faith ....

Well Tasha were together I'm getting my on the 10th of May just got great news a couple of days ago.

I am getting band May 9 th 2013... I need support as advice please help me :-) I'm excited and afraid.. Tasha

Don't be afraid Latacha...it's going to be okay! I'm still waiting on my surgery date...haven't started the preop diet yet. Keep us posted! Good luck to you!!!

Good luck to you! May I ask why you're having a replacement band? I had to be on preop diet for two weeks which wasn't too bad! My surgery is tomorrow I am getting very nervous but still a little excited! It seems like the days flew by for this day... a month ago I couldn't wait and seemed like forever now it's tomorrow lol! Again good luck to you!!

I know about the "seems like forever"...I don't have a date yet, just that it will be sometime in May. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear back from the doctor that they have all of my documents and can schedule me. Waiting is sooo hard, but I'm hoping that the month ahead flies by quickly...like every other month this year! Good luck!!!

2 more days !!! Well 1 more . May 9th!! Headed in so excited for a new life :-) ... Pray for me family!!!
