I just got an email from my surgeon's office manager. She said that they were moving my appointment with the surgeon up to June 13th and that they had scheduled my surgery for July 3rd! I am completely thrilled! My appointment with the surgeon was scheduled for June 27th and I hadn't even gotten a surgery date yet. I thought it was going to be sometime in late July.

I can't believe this!

That's WONDERFUL! Schedule that July 4th BBQ a bit early this year

How very exciting!!!

One long journey ends and another begins. Great news. This may call for the use of an all too overused term:

Woo Hoo! :clap2:

Thats awesome news. Congrats!

Good for you Laurend,

I always find your posts interesting .

I can't wait to hear about your reactions to getting healthier.

Best wishes,

I know you had been pushing for this to be done while you still had the current insurance. Does this work out for that??

Congratulations, Laurend! Now the countdown really begins!

Laurend, I have been following your posts towards getting the surgery and am so excited to see you finally have a date! That is awesome news, congratulations!

I know you had been pushing for this to be done while you still had the current insurance. Does this work out for that??

Yep! I am so thrilled. I was expecting to have surgery in late July, which would only give me a few days before my insurance changed on August 2nd, but I guess the surgeon's office wanted to give me a little bit of extra time.

Whooo Hoooo good for you!!!

Many congrats Laurend! Do you have a pre-surgery diet? With close to two thousand posts to your credit you must be the most informed pre-bandster ever. I can't wait to hear about your weight loss victory.

Congratulations Lauren!!!

This is the post I was hoping to see from you!!

Many congrats Laurend! Do you have a pre-surgery diet?

I think so. From what I've heard, my surgeon puts her patients on a 2 week low-carb/low-fat diet before surgery.

You've been through a lot, so CONGRATS!!:clap2::clap2:

Lauren, I am really excited for you. I know your battle has been long and hard with the surgeon's office and insurance. You will love being banded. Congrats. Julie
