I too am looking forward to August surgury, I am very impatient. I feel I need the control of the lap-band. I have tried diets and the only one that seemed to work for me was the Atkins Diet. I went on it twice and each time I lost considerable weight, only to gain it all back and then some. My knees and back are paying the price for the weight I've carried most of my adult life. For all the anomousity the operation carries with it, the outcome is the silver lining. I hope that all goes well for you, and you resume a life not burdened by the physical and emotional degradation of obesity.:confused:

August 17th!

August 3rd!! Still waiting for approval, submitted last Thursday, but it's still pending. Dr. Fielding in NYC is doing my surgery. I start my liquid diet on Monday the 20th...two full weeks of pure liquids. That's likely going to be my largest diet challenge yet! Good luck to everyone!

August 3rd! I am having my surgery at St. Alexius in Hoffman Estates, IL. My surgeon is Dr. Rantis through the Kane Center / Suburban Surgical Care! I'm so excited and scared all at once! Have to start the preop protein shake diet on July 19th.

I have everything done except for Upper GI, chest x-ray, and blood work which are being done Thursday, July 16th.

Surgeon says August for me... hopefully will know more at my next appt on July 15th!

Currently waiting insurance approval; shooting for mid-August.

August 14th for me, can't waitttt! Pre-op appointment for final blood work and EKG is july 17th. :tongue_smilie:

My paperwork will be submitted to my insurance company on July 17th. My doc is shooting for end of July or first week in August! I am so excited. I can not wait to start this new chapter in my life. This is going to be a life changing event, a life style change for me. My hubby and kids are very supportive. My youngest son, who is an athelete (rec'd a football scholarhip) - at first he told me it was the lazy way to loose weight. Now that we've had many discusssion about it and he understands how much my life style will change I don't think he feels that way anymore. But I think deep down alot of people feel this same way. I need to point them towards this discusson board! Doesn't sound like it's going to be a walk in the park. Sounds like alot of work that I am so ready for! Good luck and my prayers go out to you all!
