:tt1: I just got back from my pre-op appointment. I have my surgery date. I will get my band on February 15. I was at the hospital from 7 a.m. until after 6 p.m. Lots of good information, met my surgeon, really like him. The program is great, very professional. Did all my pre-op testing today, EKG, lung function test, chest Xray and about a gallon of blood for every test imaginable.

The best news, no pre-op diet and only a week and a half of liquids after the surgery.

Gotta go for now.

Take care!

Congratulations!

Woo hoo! The countdown is on! And lucky you no pre-op diet! Awesome!

:biggrin::hurray::party::tongue:

she got a date!!! oh...the party is for the no preop!!! LOL

Thanks 4jin. I'm pretty excited about that too. The only frustration I have now is they called and said the EKG was inconclusive so I have to go for a Stress test next Wednesday. I think it is a good idea but it is just one more thing to do and one more day of vacation to take. Oh well. I'm not going to let it dampen my good mood.

Congratulations! I would say it was quick but there is nothing quick about six month's supervised diet.:smile: Glad your insurance went through so quickly.
