I just want to be banded before August 2nd. I have to change insurance policies then, and if they schedule me after that date, I'll have to have all my stuff resubmitted to insurance. Right now, they have me meeting with the surgeon on August 1st, which means that I will be banded after the 2nd.

Glad you're getting some results Lauren. I hope you get moved up...to next week!! I just noticed, we share a birthday...I turn 39 on Aug 2

Very cool! I think I've met only one other person with the same birthday as me!

Lauren, why can't they take you sooner given your circumstances. The recovery is really easy so you will not miss much of school. I would bump the surgery date up if you can.

They are currently trying to get me moved up ahead of some other people (supposedly), but the earliest that I will get in would be mid to late July, regardless, just because the surgeon won't come back from maternity leave until then.
