I have a surgery date! I'm scheduled for August 3rd. I have felt like I was standing on the edge of anxiety while I have been waiting. As soon as I got the call it was instant nervous... but like nervous on steroids!

Oooooooohhhhhhhhh !!! Well, SOMEBODY'S going to be fabulous !!!!! Congratulations !!! What WLS are you having ? Let us know what we can do to support you !!! Good luck !!!

I'm excited for you!! My lapband is finally scheduled for August 7th I'm excited nervous trying to plan meals soups and all that so I'm well prepared lol bring on the weightloss!

Congratulations!!!

I am August 3rd too

Yippee, so exciting to get that date! I remember how nervous and excited I was -- channeled that into walking a little further each day which was great. Let my body know changes were coming and I think I healed so quickly because of that. The mindset is so important -- choosing yourself first and your healthy future.

@@pink dahlia- I'm having the band!

@browneyedtrxasgirl- that's so exciting!

I'm still waiting for "the call". It's been 31 days since info was sent to the insurance company. How long was it when you finally got the call? What state are you in?

By the way, congrats and good luck!!!

Thank you! I'm in NC and I have BCBS insurance. I finished all my stuff last week and got the call Tuesday!

LessOfMe0503 you mentioned you are in NC and have bcbs, i have bcbsnc am wondering how long it takes for approval. Reading your post that would mean around 2 weeks. Hopefully its that quick when we submit all my paperwork.

Congrats! So glad your big day has been scheduled!

It only took a few days to get approval. I think they actually scheduled the surgery before getting the approval... but I'm not positive.

I hope yours goes quickly! Where are you having the surgery?

With southeast bariatrics, how about you? a lot of people in charlotte go to carolinas weight mana.

I'm going through Central Carolina Surgery. I'll be having the surgery at Moses Cone!

I get banded Aug 5th and I'm so ready. I just starting to learn to navigate the site. Is there away to follow someone or to form a group?

I have NO clue
