I got my letter of acceptance today for the surgery. I have 4 more dietician visits then I meet with the surgeon. What stinks is that you can only go once a month. So it will be november before I meet with the surgeon.. Im getting more and more excited ... I knew going in that this could take up to a year. In november it will be 7 months not sot bad..

Great News--continue to move forward and it will be here before you know it.

I was just banded 6/16/08 and wow it has already been over a month.

Congrats again and keep us updated.

Thanks Leah Its nice to have support.. this site has helped me alot.. I have been just reading alot. I am so ready for this surgery and to lose this weight and keep it off.

Jewels, this is great news. I've had to wait a year because in Australia, when you take out health insurance, you have to wait 12 months before you can claim for a "pre-existing condition", so I know how hard it is to have to wait that long. My waiting is up 22 October, I set my date on Thursday.

I know it seems like forever, but the time is going to pass before you know it. All the best on the last remaining months.

Congratulations, Jewels!

It's important for all of us to remember how much we wanted this thing and how much we waited for it. Wishing you smooth sailing until the big day!
