Hi all,

Just got my date of 4/9. I've been going through the process for quite a while and it feels good to have everything taken care of. My doc wants me to go on 2 weeks of liquid before the surgery, so I'm trying not to get carried away with eating these next few weeks.

I've been reading this forum for 4 or 5 months now and it has been very reassuring to hear from people who have gone through the same process. I'm sure as I get closer I'll be bombarding the boards with questions!

HI!

Yes! I will be banded on 4/10 and I can hardly wait! Good to have a band buddy!

I am sched for 4/11, with a 10 day liquid preop and 3 week liquid post op...its gonna be tough, thankfully I have every1 here for support!

I have April 23rd for my date in Colorado. I am traveling from WI to do this with Dr. Kirshenbaum so I have a lot on my mind. But yet its finally going to happen!!!Good luck with your diet and surgery, It will be here before you know it!!!

April 25th here!

There is a section down lower on here for those banded in the different months. The April board is starting to pick up in posts!

I've head good things about Dr. Floch. He was my first choice, but he didn't take my insurance. I am going with Dr. Roberts out of Yale New Haven hospital. I am just waiting for insurance approval which they said should only take about 1 week. I am hoping for a May 1st surgery date.

Good luck to you!!

Hi. I'm hoping for an April date. I finished all the testing a couple of weeks ago, and it's all in the hands of insurance now. I hope, hope, hope they come through soon with an approval. My fingers are crossed.

I will be banded on April 25 at Ellis Hopstial by Dr.Panemaglore, i have a 4 week medifast diet before the surgery that is required by my doctor.

I'm hoping insurance will approve shortly so we can schedule in April.....Lynne...I noticed in your signature you went back & forth w/UHC to get approved. What sort of run around was UHC giving you? I have UHC.

There is another April thread where everyone is submitting their dates to a list that we can all watch. Check out the April 2008 forum and there you will find a few sub-forums/threads to be a part of if you want!

Also, one of the girls made a really nice spreadsheet that we can all add our names to and track our progress. Here is the link to that:
