Just got my surgery date - July 2nd! Who else is getting in July?

OH! ran outta room!! Someone wrote about a list of supplies to buy...anyone know where that is?? :rolleyes2:

I'm going by myself too. Oh! I checked out your web, You look great, You don't even look like you need lap band. But good luck anyway, I think we're all scared alittle but excited at the same time. It's like when you were a kid waiting for santa.

try the pre op forum maybe you'll find it there i remember seeing it just not sure where

Are you going to the same place as I am? I don't even know the doctor's name. I didn't even have insurance cause I am self employed. My husband called and we are getting insurance on July 1st. Just in case. My package included the air fare. Did you chose one that didn't?

YES, yes JULY 15 is when I get banded. I start OPTIFAST in about a week the 29th. This part is making me nervous. BUT I WILL DO WHATEVER I have to do. It's been a long emotional haul for me. I have CIGNA Insurance and I have been so worried that after all these tests and everything else I've been through that they may deny me on some minor something... My doctor, nutrionist have told me not to worry about it that I'm covered but I don't think I could handle the disappointment.

I understand how you feel. For me it's more that I worry they'll find something wrong with me that will delay or stop the surgery. As far as I know I'm basically healthy, but after working so long and so hard to get approved, I suppose it is natural to worry that it will be taken away.

My surgery date is July 24th. I'm excited yet nervous. Good luck to everyone 8-).

Joiful, no, I'm not sure I've heard of your place. my DR. is Dr. Rod in Juarez I do think you should find out who your DR. is. I did a lot of research on mine. pros & cons his stats, ed. and so forth.cost was 7000.00 all inclusive except air I live in va. round trip was 539.00. I was wondering how you chose your DR.

Oh my goodness there are a ton of July Butterflies. I have to say I am getting soooooo nervous and so excited, at this point I really just want to get the surgery part behind me.

Thank you that was nice of you to say I look great. I once modeled bikinis so , I now weigh over 200 and see not end in sight. I have been fighting an eating disorder for 30 years I want it over with. Even thought about tatooing myself -BANDED JULY 4 2008. I hate tatoos for myself but I feel like I am going to finally have some relief and some help with this! I think I may get a ring with the date on the inside of it.

speaking as a tatooed woman(10 times over)if your not into them deffently go with the ring. PS I love mine, they all tell the story of my life. sometimes good sometimes bad lol. I'm really proud & Happy & excited ect. ect. ect. But don't think i'm adding it to my tats. Lots of luck !!!

Yippee Yay! My surgery is scheduled for July 1st. Best of Luck to all!!

YEA!!! more and more Butterflies everyday, How many July Butterflies are going to Lap band conferance in Houston in Oct?

They have conferences? Wow, how fun! I think I might try to work out but I am soooo tired all the time. Thought if I worked out before I go it may help me get better soon. My date is July 4th but still 2 weeks is better than nothing. Has any one esle done this to get ready?
