October 09 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I am starting this thread for those of us who have begun the mandatory 6 month wait common with some insurances.

I am scheduled to be banded 10/23/09. I am trying to walk, drink Protein and get thru the mandatory doctor's visits and testings. I just want to get this done. I am so afraid of gaining weight and being booted from the program. I am also a diabetic on an insulin pump.

I would love to hear from anyone else playing the waiting game.

Hello! I just finished my 6 month "diet" this past February. I just found out this past week that I've been approved and am scheduled for July 20! It was a big pain in the ass to jump through insurance's hoops but will be well worth it in the end.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
