JUNE 2009 Lap Band Surgery

[astera 0]

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!

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.

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??

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.......
