Hello, I'm very excited today. Today is my birthday and i got the best birthday wish every. I recieved a call from my surgeon office today letting me i have been approved by my insurance for the surgery!! My surgery date is 6/21/07 in Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Ct. my doctor is Kurt Roberts. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have an appointment with the anasteseolgist and the nurse to do blook work on 6/14 and i have a physical with the surgeon on 6/18. It didnt take long for my insurance to approve me. I went to the doctor last Monday and met with the surgeon and they called me today. I guess I am on my way.

Hi Nyree!! Happy Birthday and congratulations!!!!!

What a great birthday present! Congrats and good luck!

Happy b-day & congrats!

That is the most exciting news! I remember when my surgeons office called me....I could hardly contain myself. The best is yet to come.

Hello...I was banded March 28th-2007. So far I have 20 pounds all before the first fill. Now that I had my 1st fill (May-16th-2007). I am ready to go on with my weight loss. I feel slightly different--but not much. I have gotten 20 lbs gone with 87 to go. I started out at 271. I am hoping that by December--I can be in the 180 to 190 area....

Thank You Everybody, But I Have A Question From The Day You Get Your Surgery And Go Back To The Doctor For Your Fill How Much Weight Did You Guys Loose Thats Already Banded. Cause I'm Under The Assumption That After I Have My Surgery My Doctor Told Me I Will Come Back Two Weeks Later And Get Filled. So I'm Just Wondering How Much Weight Any Body Lost Within The First Two Weeks.

i had my first fill 4 wks after surgery and lost 7 lbs that first month.. every one is different.. my sister lost 29 lbs her first month

Congratulations and Happy Birthday!!!

"Happy Birthday" and congrats on your surgery date! What a neat present to get!
