Well I guess I am the first one here! I just got my surgery date and it is set for June 2nd at OHSU in Portland Oregon. I am so excited! It has been a long journey to get to this point and I am so glad to have a date even if it is almost 3 months out. Anyone else out there get a June 09 surgery date?

Just had to jump in here...I'm a June 2008 bandster. Just wishing you all kinds of luck and success with the band. Best thing I ever did. I hit goal in Oct. (Took 54# off on 6 mo. required diet). Just a bit of advice...follow your doc's rules EVERYDAY and you will see results. Be good to your band and it will be good to you. Best wishes on your new journey!

thank you for the support! I am very excited. I wish it was not so far away but oh well im happy to finally get this far!

I'm also June 2nd, in Melbourne, Australia. I'm excited and terrified.

I do not have my surgery scheduled yet but my doctor told me that it would probably be in June. I'm a little more than half way through the insurance mandated 6 month diet. My four month visit is at the end of this month. I am both excited and nervous. Maybe I will feel better when the surgery is scheduled.

Hello, I have a June 1st, 2009 Surgery Date. This is my first post on this site. Im excited, but also really nervous. Im having my surgery in New York City. Im looking forward to sharing my journey with everyone.:scared2:

As long as I don't miss anymore "supervised" exercise times I will be done jumpin thru da hoops on June 2! :welldoneclap: My BFF and I are trying to do it on the same day and her doc that she works for will be out the 12-21. My insurance lady says they approve pretty quickly so I'm hoping my doc office will make an exception b4 that and give us a surgery date around the 12th. My BFF has a time share so we plan to get a cabin and heal n' chill together--WITHOUT KIDS!!! Otherwise her next vacation is in July 8-12--not long enuf to me.

I can't wait for us to have a name! Any thoughts??

hi! I hope to be approved in May and scheduled in June. I am almost done w/ my 3 month insurance requirement. (I have Aetna).

Hey All!

I am so excited to have found this! I just got my date June 19th 2009! I am so excited!

Hello June Bandsters.... It has taken me a while to finally receive my surgery date of June 29, 2009.... After the first denial I thought the surgery my never take place. However, with some determination and time devoted to writing an Appeal letter, it's finally going to happen.......
