FINALLY!!! I've been at this since December and I just got my date-August 14th. ( really strange bcause about 2 weeks ago I told my gilfriend that I had a dream that I got my surgery on that day) I'm so excited and I cannot wait!

Howeve-I am a little nervous because hey-it's surgery. But what if something goes wrong or it doesn't work or I dont lose weight? I'm scared. I'm just holding my breath that I didnt give my hopes up.

I know this may be a stupid question but hey I'm 19-does anyone know about going on a roller coaster post op? Obviously not for a while but I was thinking about slipping of the band!:biggrin2:

congrats! mine will be 9-8. eeeeeeee lol. :Dhave u started pre-op diet?

no they said they would call me about that tomorrow or the next day...how do u get your ticker on the actual signiture? i made my ticker but i cant figure out how to get it on my thing

Congrats Samantha!!! :thumbdown:

You probably won't want to go on a rollercoaster for a few weeks but there should be no reason why you can't go on with normal activities once you heal.

Answer to your ticker question...After you create your ticker at tickerfactory.com or wherever, you get a bbcode and an html code. Copy the entire bbcode then come back to this site and paste it into your signature section.

Congrats. I'm hoping for an august date too. I meet with the team the last time august 6th and should hear very soon after that, as my insurance is medicare, and they don't have to prior approve it.

Good luck

Teri

Hey Sirvine.

Great news. Im from Sydney Australia but seen your post and related to you. Im 20 and looking forward to my banding on the 1st of September.. Goodluck.. Wish you well with yours. I wonder if your procedure will be exactly the same or if we have some differences. Hope to talk later.

congrats all on surgery dates!

I finally go mine to Aug 22, it had been a long wait. I am so ready. good luck to all.

Went my surgeon Dr. Holover's office yesterday for my second consult and now I am scheduled for August 18th:thumbup:.... I am nervous:scared2: and really excited:lol: all at the same time. I really can't believe how fast everything went from my first consult on June 18th to scheduling the surgery. While I was talking to my doctor the most beautiful butterfly was flying near his window. I took that as an omen that everything was going to turn out beautiful. Everyone in his office has been extremely helpful and they know all the ins and outs of insurance. I am so glad I found this site and I know I will be out here alot in the next few weeks.

Good luck to everyone.
