I'm scheduled for Sep 5th with Dr Ortiz in Mexico. I live in Parker, CO- I noticed you were having surgery in Denver. I have about the same amount of weight to lose as you... Feel free to email me.

I have my initial consult with my surgeon on WEd 9/5. How long does it usually take to set a date for surgery following that??  | |

Gean - every doctor is different. Did you already get approved from your insurance, or will you be self pay? I was approved and my surgeon is on vacation, so I won't be banded until Sept. 19. Good luck with the consult, let us know when the surgery day is!

I have insurance that these MD's are out of network for (aetna)..but there are no other Bariatric SUrgeons in this area, so they are saying I should be reinbursed at an in-network rate....have to submit to insurance, I guess that ball gets rolling next week.. I am in AUstin, TX.
Prayers to you for a successful and easy surgery and recovery.
Gean

Hi Everyone!
My surgery is scheduled for Sept 27th and I am so pumped!! My neice got her LAP-BAND® over a year ago and looks slim and fabulous, like a new happier person! It was just the kick she needed to lose her weight.
God Bless
Mary

Good luck Gean - I hope it all goes well. Is there any possiblity of coming up here to the Dallas area to get banded? With a fill dr maybe near you? I hope it all works out (and fast)!
Welcome Marywalker20! Isn't it so great to already know someone that has been banded and be able to help you along the way?
Welcome gmccon! Sept 6 is right around the corner!

Yes it's great to have my neice as a role model. I also have a close friend that got her LAP-BAND® in August and is doing great. She has lost 30 pounds already (12 pre-op). The thing that amazes me is that she swears she is never hungry and has had an easy time so far. I think the best advice came from my friend. She told me to start now and reduce the size of your bites and chew chew chew. She came over to see me the other day and presented me with a baby spoon and a seafood fork. It really works because you can't get but a little tiny bit on the fork and the spoon doesn't hold much either. I used the spoon to eat a small bowl of soup and it took forever. :)
We can do this!! Just think by Christmas we can all be fitting into much smaller size clothing!!!
Mary

i have lost 4 or 5# already on the preop liquid diet.
i began this journey in february. it's taken me a while longer
than most because of all the testing i had to have.
but everyone tells me the end result is worth it, so i plugged along.
i want to be healthier. i'm going to get there too. :)
