I am looking at mid month , if all goes well :-) Lets keep each other up to date!

I am so bummed out. I saw my surgeon on July 16 and he said everything looked in order and they would submit to my insurance within a week (July 23).

I called my insurance today and they said nothing had been submitted yet. I called my surgeon and left a message, but no call back. It is so frustrating. I am so ready.

I do not have to do pre-op except for two days of liquid, but I started two protein drinks and one meal on July 17. I am losing weight and doing well with it. I have stopped drinking with meals, stopped drinking Diet Coke, and gotten all my meds changed to liquids. I have my vitamins as chewables and liquids. I am ready to move forward!:smile2:

Needing some support!

August 8!!! Less than a week away:thumbup:

I go to my last meeting tomorrow Aug 4th then they will send everything in for ins approval. I am exited and nervous at the same time. I know this is a lifelong thing and once its done its done. I am so addicted to food for calming me down. when im bored ect and am going to have to find new things that dont involve food so Im happy because I need this but have that little bit of nerves too. I hope this is normal.

My surgery is August 14th...I am in Germany. My husband is in the Army so we live here. I am having the surgery in Mannheim with Dr. Shang. I started the pre-op diet on the 1st and it is killing me...3 protein shakes daily and one small meal. I will be admitted to the hospital the day prior and get bloodwork, etc. The only thing I had to have so far is the upper endoscopy. That was a real treat with no sedation! No psyh eval or anything else...am very excited but nervous!

My sugery will be on August 13th at 7:30 am!!!! I'm so excited!!

This time tomorrow, I will have my band!!! I go in at 6am tomorrow....surgery at 8am....home by tomorrow evening! I'm so excited and scared that I feel sick! YIKES!!!!

My surgery is scheduled for the 13th, though I dont have a time yet! I start the liquid diet Monday, August 10th. I am a little concerned as I found out that I won't be able to take any anti-inflammatories afterwards...I have arthritis and take those daily. Anyone else run in to this?

Had a hiccup in my surgery got there this morning, talked to all of the necessary people and low and behold the OR AC breaks therefore surgery tomorrow instead I am little bummed but I look at it as more time to get my to do list finished...

Im preparing for tomorow mornings surgery. I have to be at the hospital at 7 AM! WHEW! I am not a morning person sooooo~ This should be fun. I am doing the liquid diet today and I must say... IT SUCKS!:huh2: I do NOT like it one bit... But, am tollerating it, just the same. Yogurt for breakfast, then a protein shake... strained soup for lunch wth a sf popcycle for snack.... uuuhhgg~ Yea, lets do THIS for the next 2 weeks:thumbdown: Im dealing... forgive:blush:
