Congratulations! Believe me when I tell you I know EXACTLY how you feel. Isn't it the greatest relief?!?
This waiting period is worse than the first time. I'm trying my damnedest not to gain weight but it's sooooo hard. Fingers crossed for you that they can mvoe your date up and we can BOTH be back in bandland before the end of the summer!!

Congratulations--that's fabulous news. I hope you get a quicker date, but a least you know there's a new Lap Band in your future in 3 months or less!

well, it looks like i have to wait til october. october 4th to be exact. my doc wont do surgery before then, she says my stomach needs to heal completely before the next surgery. so, i have 3 months to wait. i guess at least there is a pot at the end of my rainbow, its just the weight gain in between that im afraid of.

Hi ethansgrandma-
Congratuglations on the reband date. i am sorry to hear that you have to wait so long but if you need heeling time it is well worth it. Maybe you can use meds for a few months so you arent starving or regaining too much weight. I am not totally for meds but maybe it is what you need just for a few months. It might be worth looking into.

Thats wonderful news I am so pleased for you. I know how you feel about the weight gain but try and relax and not worry to much. (I am a fine one to talk!)
Anyway October will be here before you know it.

so, i had my pre-op appt yesterday. im good to go. i cant believe how much weight i have gained tho. my doc is putting in a new type of band, this one has like a plastic clip type thing so that if it slips, all they do is go in and readjust the band. i wish they would have had that to begin with. so i have 3 weeks to go. im counting down.

You've only got a few weeks to go! Best of luck. I get my first band the day after, on the 5th! I'm nervous but so very excited!!

Great news, Ethansgrandma! Sounds like a big improvement on the band, too.
