Yes.........I am so happy finally have a date and it is in May. But first I have to loose 15 pounds. I know I can do it though and I will. I cant wait to begin my journey!:confused:

It looks like I will either be at the end of May or beginning of June!

Hi I am scheduled for May 11th and this morning I am going to do all of the scans, stomach testing etc. I completed the blood work already.... I am quite excited yet nervous and still ping ponging back and forth on lapband or rny...but i think the best is the band for me.

I will work on making a better profile tonight

lets all stay in touch!! :crying:

My BFF and I were both just pre-approved at our MD consult yesterday. We have a pysch eval, support group meeting, and final Insurance approval to get through, as well as the required physical and lab work, but it looks like we could be banded in May. We are SO excited to begin this journey together, and our MD will even do our surgeries on the same day, so we can recoup together. Wishing you all the best in your journeys!!! :biggrin:

congrats and good luck to the both of you as well.

I just did a sleep study and what do you know... I have sleep apnea! Booo! :thumbup: I am working on completing the steps to get a hopeful surgery date at the end of May. My only potential hurdle is the fact that I did not see a doctor at all in 2008. I have to write a letter to the insurance company to explain why!

I was approved this week! Surgery date is May 1st... YAY!! Good luck to everyone!!

Congratulations and best wishes!! :frown:

My surgery is scheduled for May 28 :frown:

I am hoping to get a surgery date in May...Good Luck to all of us...:rolleyes2:

I am also hoping for a May date! I'll see the psych again on the 30th and see the nut. again on April 15th! All I need is psych approval to get a date (self-pay) and so I'm hoping to get that on the 30th.. keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

May 1st is my day, but I have to start my pre-op diet on the 17th, the day I get back from Florida! I am so ready to get it over with!

YAY!! Congrats! We get banded the same day!!

What I want to know is, how come everyone has a pre-op diet and I dont, the only requirement is Clear liquids the day before and to lose 10 lbs.!! I wish I had something to follow rather than doing it on my own.... something a little better to help me prepare for after...

My date is set, May 6... I had lost up to 20 lbs, was down 16 when I got okay'd for surgery on March 10, but I have gained 6 back. I am back on a strict diet. I had to go off of it, I was exhausted and it was affecting my ability to do my job... (I had done the pre-op diet for around 3 months!!!)

Now I need to start a regular exercise program, because in order to be successful, as I have learned from all of the bandsters here, you must follow strict diet and exercise often!!!

Back on the Chain Gang for me :eek:
