I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Hi all Lucky 7's. I am new to this site and I just got my date today and its July 17-2007 hows that for 7's? Its so great to find a spot like this! Thanks to everyone here. It is comforting to have friends to talk freely about the lap band to. See you around. Dancing 2

I am so excited. I am on for July 17th. I just found this site tonight and it is a comfort to see so many people on here sharing their journey. I have already learn some new helpful things. I will be thinking of all us lucky 7's and so shall it be! Thanks Dancing 2 for Joy!

I see it did work!! Sorry for the repeat!

Hey Tansycoffeelady,

Sorry..just found your enquiry.

The SWLC has a fill nurse in Vancouver and one startng the end of June in Victoria.....thank goodness. Dr Coburn is visiting several cities out west as of June 23 and setting up other fill folk....so i hear.

Hi, i have a tentative date of July 5th (waiting on insurance approval).... i have just submitted my request for vacation and have been asked by my manager what i am having done..... any suggestions other than none of your business? my office is very 'busy' and i prefer to keep my personal life to myself until i want to share...

Tell them that you are having surgery. It's illegal for them to ask what it's for.

I just found out about this board today! My surgery date is July 3rd.

That is 13 days away.

I am on a 2wk pre op liquid diet right now, to shrink my liver so the surgeon has no trouble getting around in there.

It sucks:hungry:, but the liquid diet combined w/ excercise I'm down 5lbs.

I have an appt w/ my surgeon today, for my pre op visit. Next Tuesday I have my pre op testing.

God bless you guys, I really enjoy reading all of the posts!

I am so excited 7/17 is my tenantive date - Dr's office called right now - said all they needed was my shrink evaluation - which is tomorrow and she will submit. My insurance should be no problem BC CA covers as long as medically necessary and is preformed at a Bariatric Center of Excellance - Which Desert Hospital is - she should have approval in a week.

Date could have been 7/10 but my mamo appt isn't until the 12th... I was figuring August is when i would get a date... I am so happy...

I guess as long as my shrink - colon - mamo - stress test come out ok - I am a go for the 7/17 !!!!!

I go for my pre-op dr visit 7/6 - my doctor said 2 week pre op diet - but this is only a week out so i guess that's all i will have to do which is just fine with me....

Just wanted to share my GREAT NEWS.....

Hello, IndigoGirll, Abbey, LWesson, and Dancing 2!!! Welcome. So glad ya'll found us. This is a great group of folks.

I had my appt today and it was a piece of cake...except the lady couldn't get any blood from my arteries! I got poked twice and nothing. Oh well, right? I will have a follow-up appt in about a week.

I hope everyone is doing well. I've got a bit of catching up to do w/our thread. We've got a lot of activity going on. Gotta love it!:high5:

Thanks Chimboree - I was lucky on my blood gas test - had a GREAT tech he found it poked me and it was done - hurt alittle after he took the needle out - I think from the pressure being applied..

Dancing2 - We have the same day and are in the same age bracket

ok where do i start. today has been a great day. I got a call from the surgery and they told me to be there at 6.45 on tuesday which means i'm first.

ooooohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhh baby.......

then i got a call from a girl i know from the clinic and she's to be there at 7.45 which means i'll have someone i sort of know to talk to . which i think is great. so i'm in great form.

I wonder how Breadlady is doing? I've been thinking of her lots today and yesterday.
