YIPEEEEEE, I'LL BE IN BANDLAND ON NOVEMBER 20TH:party:

Anyone joining me? Anyone as nervous, excited, scared and shocked as I am? I'm doing tons of reading on this site and I'm really trying to grasp how much my life is going to change!!!

LOL, I can relate, Ginny. Though I have my date, I am technically still waiting for my approval. I did the psych eval on Thursday, and she should have the letter to my doctor's office by Monday. The doc's office says after insurance gets that, they should okay it within a day. I also worry, what if... :eek:

My Surgery date is Nov 3 OMG only a week to go:w00t: My emotions are all over the place, people keep asking me if I'm nervous and I think I'm still in shock I know the day before I won't be able to sleep but I'm so ready for this change.:tongue:

Good Luck to you!

Hi Everyone, my surgery is scheduled for November 7th. I am very excited but now I am very scared after reading this site. Does anyone have any words of encouragement? I was originally scheduled for 10/10, but due to an insurance issue, I was bumped until later. The wait is the hardest thing!!! Anyway, I wish everyone luck as they get their surgeries!

November 24th here. I'm self pay, but I'm also having my gall bladder taken out at the same time. Fighting with my insurance company to have them pay for a part of the surgery...

Good Morning! This is my 1st post. I am also Novemer 19th. I am most nervous about the preoperative diet.

November Bandster too! My date is set for November 24th. My surgeon sent pre-op test for my PCP to do. So I have an appointment with her in the morning. Blood test, ekg, x-ray, etc...... I have an appointment on the 16th for final pre-op, with the surgeon and the anesteciologist, since I have never been under general before. I have had c-sections before so I know what to expect with gas pains. Not fun!!! I don't have a pre-op diet, however, I will be eating higher protein meals during the 2 weeks prior. I do think that everyone that is pre-op feels the same emotions at some time or another! Good luck everyone! I hope that you sail through your surgery quickly and come out in good health!

Hey to all the newbies! Congrats on getting your date and welcome to the Notorious Novembers!

I have just 2 and a half weeks to go. I am so excited. I start my pre-op diet on October 29th. I think I will be to excited to stand myself after that!

:w00t::tongue::w00t:
