They changed my surgery date to July 13 so im am no longer getting it in May. Man I cant wait.

I'm very sorry to hear that, but stay encouraged! It'll still be worthwile.

For many reasons, too many and long to explain, I've learned that unexpected delays in something so important often have a reason beyond our understanding at the time. Trust that your surgery will happen at the right time for you. Sometimes, the delay is what we need to prepare for the change in life that will come. Consider this time a blessing and make it worth your while. Take this time to get in better physical shape, start an exercise program, start learning about different weight loss programs and find one to fit your lifestyle. Research about this new tool you are getting. I promise there is still much you do not know. Use this website as a great tool to do that research. Find in your area others who have, or are getting, the lap-band. If you keep busy with these kinds of tasks, you will find the two-month delay will go by very quickly.

Don't be upset, thank God you are getting banded. I wish I can get banded, pray for me. I'm not quite at 40, I'm at 39, and my insurance require a solid 40. I can't afford to pay on my own. Good luck and keep us posted.

I really thank you all who have posted. I really needed that boost of confidence back and its really not that long now that i look at it. I can be patient and I am going to take this time to get my daily routines and life changes together. thanks!!!:smile:

Don't feel bad, I got re-scheduled at 7:30am this morning, and I was supposed to have it done on thursday (5/7/09) I'm pushed back to may 21st now all because of my PCP's office and he didn't word his letter right. AND, His office wouldn't let me reshedule my april 24th appointment (which I showed up for ON TIME but the office was closed- without a phone call) so now there is a gap in my 6 months worth of notes. I'm LIVID:cursing: right now. But like the person a few posts said, thank god we're still getting banded. It just sucks they pushed you back until july.

P.S- What a wonderful way to wake up eh? the phone ringing telling you it's not going to happen, after watching your entire family eat a good dinner while your sipping on chicken broth- starving!
