:smile2: I'm a soon to be banster in the Austin area. My insurance company (Definity Health Care) approved my surgery on February 19th and my Pre Op doctor visit is today!!! :biggrin: I'm so excited and nervous and scared and happy ALL AT ONCE. It looks like it will be about 2 more weeks before the surgery as I've got to do the 2 week pre op diet and I'm so emotional right now, I can barely keep it together @ work. I want to tell everyone while at the same time, I want to keep it a secret. I hope to have the surgery date by COB tomorrow (crossing my fingers). Does anyone have any tips to share?:cursing:

Thanks!

Hello

I went for my pre-op today and I am scheduled for my band on 3/17/08. I am on liquids with one meal in the evening but can not exceed 1000 cals a day. I started walking 30 minutes a day which is a challenge but okay. I am trying to keep my mind focused on me and waiting to see the results week by week but trying to focus on me for a change. Try to stay focus on the goal and you are going to do really well!

I have my surgery date!!! :huh2: It's going to be March 20th @ 8am!!! We'll have our sugery's back to back almost! :cool2:
