:angry :nervous Hi All, I am trying to get a date for my lapband surgery. I feel so frustrated. My doctor's office is in the process of moving and the new office doesn't even have a phone yet!! So the woman in the current office emailed my message to the new office. I have been three months with this hanging over my head. Tomorrow I go for my consultation with the Psychiatrist and the Nutritionist. The last evaluations i need before they can operate. I just want a date so I can plan. My husband has been a real pain about the whole thing. Not unsupportive but certainly not "whatever you need". I booked the appointment for tomorrow because I could have back to back appointments. This made sense to me since it is an hour drive to the hospital. My mom agreed to come down and baby sit. It is a long drive for her, but she really wants to do it. This way my husband does not have to take off of work. All is well. But in his mind I should have done the appointments on separate days and taken my daughter to his parents instead. Yeah, that is a great idea except who wants to schlep into North Philadelphia two time instead of 1 and HE HAS YET to TELL his PARENTS that I am having this surgery! :faint: I could scream! Thanks for letting me rant. how is everyone else's day going?

Greetings All, I am just joining the group today. I am in the process of preparing for Lap Band surgery. I am done with my pre-op tests, I now need to have my teaching class, nutritionist visit and psych eval and then my surgery date will be set. I am hoping to lose 160 lbs. through this process. I am very excited, but would like the surgery to be over all ready. They think I should be operated on around the end of February or beginning of March. Which is not a long time to wait. My best friend had gastric bypass surgery done and had to wait 6 months from the time of the first consultation to the actual surgery. My time will probably total 2 months. I am married to a wonderful husband and have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. I am a freelance sign language interpreter and run my own business. I love rubber stamping cards, and crafts. I love to read and travel. I am looking forward to getting to know you all through this new journey in my llfe. Hugs to all, tolose160
