Well I thought this day would never arrive. I finally have a surgery date June 4th. My pre-op is June 2nd. I cannot wait to start my journey and new lifestyle. Where can I find what all I need to pack for the hospital? I had seen a thread and now cannot find it. How do we get tickers? I'm so new to all of this on this website. Any and all advice is needed and wanted. I know everyone's experience is different. I'm hoping to make new friends. Hope to hear from you. Hugs! Teresa

Congrats on getting close to your date! I am currently waiting to see my surgeon to get my surgery date. I go see her on June 10th and I can't wait to get started at living a healthy life.

May God Bless You!

I'm getting banded on June 4th too!!!! My pre-op is June 2nd. I;m using Dr. Felts in Richardson. I have been working since October to jump through all the insurance hoops!!!

OMYGOSH!!! My pre-op is June 2nd and my banding is June 4th and guess what? My Dr. is Dr. Felts in Richardson also. Girl I'd like to talk to you if you like. E-mail me at tgh153xl@yahoo.com if interested.

I am getting banded on June 5th. Have been jumping thru all the "Insurance Hoops" also. I have to attend 6 group sessions, wish I could skip all that and just get on with it!
