Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I'm an assistant principal and am hoping to schedule it at the beginning of my four week vacation. I'm shooting for June 25th! I hope to set the date in stone next week!

Looking for a good android that I can use preop and post surgery. Any suggestions?

Gettin RNY done June 13....on opti fast untill then!!! Getting closer! Nervous!

I'm scheduled for RNY surgery June 12. Pre-Op appointment tomorrow at 8:30 am. I'm a self-pay and have got to fork out $19,500 tomorrow. No changing my mind after tomorrow. I've been trying to get this surgery for 3 years through insurance, and they refuse to pay, even though 3 doctors have recommended me for it. I hate insurance companies!!!

Let me know what happens at your appt tomorrow. I go to mine Thursday.

I'm so nervous for tomorrow. It's my last appointment before RNY on June 5th. I had my lap and out on March 18th and had to wait for the RNY cause I had too much scar tissue when she got inside my stomach. Well, I have gained almost 10 pounds in the past month cause I've had zero restriction. It's been SO hard controlling my hunger. Everything is good with insurance and its all planned (have FMLA and everything). I'm jut worried she's going to see how much I've gained and put a halt to it. I can handle anymore disappointments. Ugh.

Im saying a special prayer for you! You can do this!! Remember you are human.

Thank you so much! Any prayers are appreciated!

My insurance approved first letter. Surgery date is June 28th. Excited and nervous. Nice to find a group of people going through the same stuff at the same time.

My name on Facebook is Amanda Marr Walton look me up

It's a small world after all! I don't know you, but I always see Meg tag your name in facebook posts. I know her from grade school in Exeter!

I must have a great doctor. I don't have any specific diet before surgery. Was basically just told don't pig out. lol And liquids the day before of course.

As for insurance I also have BCBS and had my approval quickly.

Kelly meg is my sister! She lives with me feel free to add me.

How did you realize there was a problem? My friend has the band and never really lost with it. She is about 5 years out.

I just never really felt like I even had the band. I lost around 20 lbs in the beginning which I believe was just because of the swelling. At about 6 weeks, I felt no restriction and was hungry all of the time so I had my first adjustment. Time after time I would have fluid added to my band, but it never made a difference. I felt no restriction and was always hungry. It was a daily struggle and my former surgeon would just tell me to try harder and kept offering me a prescription for Phentermine. I felt as if I was doing it all on my own and I was failing. The only time the stupid thing worked was when I was pregnant. And when I say it worked, I mean that I went from no restriction to not being able to tolerate liquids overnight. I had to have all of the fluid removed and then after delivery we began the process of gradually refilling my band. It was the same as before and I felt nothing. When I practically begged my doctor for an upper endoscopy or upper GI and he said it wasn't necessary, that's when I decided to get a 2nd opinion and I'm so glad that I did.

All is a go for June 5th!! Yay! my surgeon did scare me a bit when she said I may need an open surgery due to all my scar tissue from getting my lap band out. Hoping that doesn't become the case. :/

Just had my PEEC apptointment on Wednesday' date=' Everything looked good and gave me my 3 day clear liquid diet instructions.

Surgery Date is June 4th with Dr. Chae at St. Joe's in Denver.[/quote']
