Fingers crossed, I'll be a REbanded newbie on August 13. There, I said it. I've been scared to post in this section for fear of jinxing it. But I'm on board, once again, as an August bandster!! (Even the first time around I was an August bandbaby.) It's a great time to be banded!

Hi, I just had my psych eval today. What a joke! I think the only question I was asked was "Do I have the money?" as soon as I said yes I passed! LOL All my other tests are in mid July. My surgery is Aug 6th. Good luck to all of you!

I thought I was going to be a member of the July group, but got my date today and it is August 2nd! Yippee! I am so excited and ready to start on this journey. Alexandra, I've been reading your posts for a couple of months now and I'm so happy to hear that things are going to work out for you to get rebanded. Did you win an appeal or did you decide to self pay? Anyway, I'm glad to be in the August group with you. I know you have alot of experience and are a wonderful source of information and support.

Hi Judi,
I too am getting my band in August. I haven't got the date yet but I think in the beginning. I am going for the psych and nutri eval July 12th.
Do you know what kind of questions they ask at the psych eval.
Karen from West Nyack, New York

| Psych Eval
Karendepaola, My psych eval seemed to be mostly about whether I had realistic expectations, i.e. the band is not magic but a tool that requires much effort on my part, etc. Also wanted to make sure I had no history of anorexia/bulemia. It took an hour and was really very conversational (making sure I'm not psychotic or delusional). I'm sure you will do great. Let us know how it goes. Good luck

Hi! I just got my date today and while I was REALLY hoping for a July date, it looks like it will be August 3. I'm driving myself crazy I want it to be here so bad. I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow night and let me tell you I'm really wishing I had been banded 6 months ago as to not be the largest person on the beach (from our group anyway) I just keep telling myself, this WILL be my last vacation fat! (and this time it really will be) It is bad that I'm so depressed about my weight that part of me would rather not even go on our trip. Well, I better quit feeling sorry for myself... I just wanted to stop in and say Hi, I'll stop by after I return from my trip, maybe we can all support each other through the dreaded pre op diet!
