YEA, YEA, YEA GLORY TO GOD!!!! I received a call saying that my insurance approved lap band surgery. God really confirmed that this is right for me. I asked him to have the surgery on June 17th (not realizing that this was a Sunday). The doctor's officed said that June 18th is available....Isn't God good? I'm a teacher and He worked it so that I will be on summer vacation--no days missed from school!!!!

There's only 1 down side--and it's really not that bad: I live in Dallas, and I insurace said that I have to go to Decater (1 and half hour drive) for surgery!! But, I'd drive 2 days to have the band if necessary!!!

I'm inviting my "LAST SUPPER"---where did you eat?

I'll be a member of the June Banster's soon......

Congratulations on your date!! I am day 4 since banding so just starting to feel better. One of my last meals was a burger with all the fixings but I was also on my pre-op diet so I did it a couple of weeks before surgery.

Good Luck!

I just had mine done at Wise Regional Wednesday. It is a really nice hospital with they best nurses anywhere! A really new facility too! Good luck! What Dr r u using?

Welcome BigBaby :wave:

It's great that you don't have to take off any days for surgery! God IS good!

I'm being banded on June 1st and just started my liquid pre-op diet today. My "Last Supper" of sorts, was at The Prime Quarter where I had the yummiest terriyaki steak! Did that last Tuesday. Funny thing, last night, I thought I would kind of "panic" and want to shove every thing in my mouth that I could find. BUT, that wasn't the case at all! I was too excited about surgery being so close and the pre-op diet was like the starting gate!

Well, come join us over in the "June 2007" thread!

I am ashamed to say I must have had like 10 last suppers. For about 2 weeks before banding I went and ate a huge plate at like every one of my favorite resturants.

Don't be ashamed! You're ticker speaks for itself! You are making the band work and people like you give me hope

Aww thanks!!!! I have been working my butt off for this weight. Exercise is key. I don't care what anyone else says you have to do something everyday. I hated so much when I started and now I am starting to love it.
