Hi, just thought I would start a thread for being a sept bandster. I received my approval today and my surgery date is sept.5th. Anxious to see who else is out there...

That SUCKS! Some insurance companies are the worst!

It wasn't the insurance company's call--I'm self pay. It was the doctor. I stupidly thought the weight loss issue before surgery was just a "suggestion" not a requirement. They showed me.

I have my surgery scheduled for Sept. 11th. Very excited and nervous all rolled into one!!

I'm also going to have my surgery on September 11, and I can't wait.

Katmeg99 - I am having my surgery in Hurst. Doctor is in Arlington.

Hello fellow September Bandsters...this is officially our banding month!! By this time next month, we will be well on our way to healthy! Check out the chat room at night. There are some awesome banded members that are more than willing to share their experience with us. I have learned so much about what to expect before and after surgery from them.

Good luck everyone!!:bounce:

I just wanted to wish everyone good luck with their surgeries tomorrow. Please get on and let us know how you are doing as soon as you can! I will send out a prayer for each of you tonight!

:clap2: Good luck to: Guinessgirl77, PCracker, suemtt, purpletina79, and rwel4
