Chela

Good luck this week! I'm going the day before you.

Good luck on your journey!

Good luck to those having surgery tomorrow!

I'm going in on Wednesday.

Its not even the fear of the surgery its self; I am not really scared of that. My husband has been acting like I'm going to the electric chair or something!

It kind of creeps me out how much attention he is paying to me right now. Its not like I'm having brain surgery or anything.

He's supposed to be easing my fears and now I'm the one having to reassure him that everything will be okay! lol

I'm just ready to get this over with and start my journey full force. I hope the next 2 days just fly!

I had my consult on 5/25 and since it wasn't covered by my insurance I could have had it within 2 wks, but I waited until 6/29 so I could give plenty of notice at work.

Good luck tomorrow!

My surgery is on 6/29 at 830 am and they want me to be there at 730am. I figure I'll wake up at 6am and leave by 640am.

Wow, it looks like you both are already on your way to losing tons of weight. Congrats! I can't wait to be in your shoes.

Thanks for welcoming me.

Just wanted to stop in & say hi! I'm a 34 yr old from Tx, have been married almost 14 yrs and have 2 kids.

I'm getting my surgery done on the 29th. I have been trying to lose this weight on my own for over 2 yrs without success, and I am hoping the lap band will be the tool to change my weight around.

My alltime max was 279, and I'm 5'2". This Tx heat is killing (hopefully for the last summer).

My Cigna plan excludes the lapband, so I am paying for this myself.

I'm very nervous and have a huge fear that somehow this will not work and that I will be fat forever,lol. I think I am just crazy!

I hope to get to meet you all!

My surgeon does not require a preop diet. My surgery is on 6/29. I think I will go low carb & add a Protein shake daily starting the 22nd just so my body doesn't freak out after surgery.

Also my surgeon said that out of the thousands of surgeries he's ever done only 2 he could not perform b/c the liver was too big and one of those included a patient whose liver was all the way to her belly button! Crazy!

Hi, I'm late joining in! I'm going to get my band on 6/29. I plan to take a week off from work. I'm hoping its not too painful as I am a big baby.

My greatest fear is that it won't work, but I think its b/c I've been so heavy for many years that I can't even imagine looking normal.
