I finally get the call from the doctors office and they scheduled me for August 3! That seems like forever away, and I'm ready NOW! Apparently the surgeon will be out from the 13th of July on, what nerve of him to take a 3 week vacation! (just kidding of coarse) I just really wanted to be banded by the end of July, I don't know how some of you have waited so long for approval, I would be pulling my hair out!

Wow, how frustrating. How long did it take you to finally get a date? Of course, look at this way, the surgeon should be fully rested when he performs your surgery. Aug 3rd will be here bf you know it. Hang in there! :eek:

Congrats on getting a date! Use the time to practice eating the "right" way now. I'm excited for you!

Who knows...maybe your doc will be playing video games on his vacation. I heard something about docs that do that are good with hand/eye coordination...makes a better surgeon?

<p>Thanks for putting a positive spin on it for me, my first thought was...great he will be out of practice!! LOL</p>

and I only went to the semiar on June 12th so I really have no room to complain

wanabthin, congrats on your date! You are so lucky to have things move forward with such speed. I went to my first seminar in May and I will have to wait a year before I get a date! And yes, I am pulling my hair out! Best of Luck to you.

It'll fly by! It's only a month away! Use this time to start practicing the bandster rules. Small bites, chew well, eat slow and NO DRINKING WITH MEALS.
