Since we're getting closer and closer to November and more and more of us are finding out when our surgery dates are I thought it might be good to have a thread to keep them all in check, like a little November calendar for us all.

Feel free to add when and where your surgery is.

November 5th with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana for me.

I just received the call! My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 25 at 10:30 :redface:

They could have scheduled me a week earlier but in the afternoon. We have a 2 year old so I pushed for an AM appointment. I wanted DH to have time to be with me after surgery before picking up our son from daycare. This is the perfect time for me!! It's 2 days after DS's birthday, 2 days before a holiday so I have a lot of time off and it's during a mini-break for my MBA program.

I'm so excited!!! I look forward to getting to know all of the other "Notorious Novembers" :w00t:

YAY congrats! That's just two days before Turkey Day! Boy, that should be fun, haha. My surgery is Nov. 5th, so I'll have 3 weeks to recover before I'm faced with preparing Thanksgiving dinner for about 10 people! :redface:

Well, we're having everyone over the weekend before for my son's birthday so I'm thinking of doing Thanksgiving then. Otherwise, it will be just the three of us on the actual holiday so that's not a big deal.

Hi all Notorius November Bandsters!

I have an official...change of surgery date! My new date is Nov. 19th, so I will be joining the ranks of allymb, cappy, tonice & janesays!

It is actually ok, another week to fully prepare (good for procrastinators, hehe). Am glad it is getting into the fall/cooler months, so I won't 'sweat' the recovery days...literally! Have a good day of healthy choices!

add siggie?

Hello all. my surgery date for the band has been set for November 24th, I got this date when I went for my surgical consult back in July. so today i go for my upper GI and my esophageal manometry and my gastro doc tells me there may be an issue with getting the band because of these tests, says something about something being irregular (which is fine for every day but not for someone to get the band), says that the band may cause me to gag, reflux, throw up, etc. so I should discuss the gastric bypass with my surgeon. If I don't have the choice then of course I'll go with the bypass as I am determined to do something now. Once I talk to my surgeon I'll know more.
