It seems so far out....Any other January surgery dates out there?

Its going to be here super quick.

Do you know of anyone who had the lap band and lost enough to be under a 35BMI and then got insurance to pay for a revision to a sleeve?

My friend had one and is stuck at a BMI of about 32 now. She really wants to get a sleeve.

Congrats on your date.:thumbup1: I am working on approval from my insurance for a revision from band to sleeve. With any luck it will be approved and I will have mine done in January too.

Good luck!

Dont feel bad. I scheduled my surgery in May and didnt have it until September--so I know how you feel! It will be here before you know it!

Hi Susie, congrats on your surgery date. I've had to scheduled dates postponed so far, most recent was for 30th Nov. Anyway, I've been told that I will get a date for Jan 2010.

I am January 18th!

CONGRATULATIONS! It really will be here before you know it. You can use this time to get all prepared (if you aren't already). Keep us posted on your journey.

swanss, Congratulations on our surgery date. Mine will be January 19th. It does seem far out to me also, but in reality, it will be here before we know it.

Best Wishes, Can't wait to hear how it went for you.
