I'm going through so much I have my surgery coming up on 4/20 n I'm so confused about this surgery if I'm even making the right choice. So I called my doctor 2day n ask if it was possible that I could change to a different type of surgery like the gastric sleeve. I read so many positive things here but I also read very negative things also. I just fell I'm not going to benefit from this lap band. I'm so scared about not being able to ever eat anything solid ever again. I...

I'm about 2 get my surgery on 4/20/12 I was keeping this from my husband because at first he was all for me getting this surgery but was scared at the same time. Anyway I was diagnosed with kidney cancer before I was able to get my lap band done. So now that my left kidney has been removed n I'm cancer free he is totally against this now. I just had surgery on 2/2/12 so I don't know if that is his Issue. So I tell him that I might need him to be off work for the day of my surgery not telling him the reason but he asked me if it is for me having surgery then he is against it. I don't know what 2 do I don't want to ask someone else to go because I was trying to keep this to myself. I don't know what I will do but I need to think real fast. Tracey Sher

Well we talked a long time 2 day n he is just worried I'm putting my body through to much. I explain to him that I would not be doing anything if the doctor's didn't clear me. I have a pre op class on 4/5 so he will be able to go with me n get a chance to hear for his self that it is ok to have my surgery. I also have a per op appointment with my PCP the same day so she will also get to talk to him. He just worries a lot n does not want anything 2 happen to me. But I really had to talk to him a lot before he would give in. So he has agree to at lease go and talk with my doctors. So I guess we will see. Thanks Tracey Sher

I'm sure if I mid lead anyone here r not. I was not intending to do that. What I thought I said was my husband was with me from the time I was going 4 the lap band. I wad getting my surgery done in January but I found out that I had kidney can't the same month. So I had no choice but to get my kidney removed. What I'm saying is he was 100% with up until he found out I'm having my lap band in on 4/20/12. He just out of no where told me he is not with me n he don't want me to get the surgery. We went 2 doctor appointment's a Christmas party the hospital had 4 all gastric patient's. So it was all the up until last night he was with me. I'm not going 2 keep anything from my husband I have been with him for 10years n there is no way I could keep something this important from him. He just does not want me 2 have this surgery 4 some reason. I go 4 my per op appointment on 4/5/12 so I will have him talk with the doctor then 2 see if he changes his mind. Thank you 4 the help don't think I don't appercate it. I come off to strong 2 some people. I just don't know if I might have said something that cofussed anyone. He was with me but something happen. Thanks again

I'm going 2 talk 2 him again. He has a day 2morrow so I can really sit down with him. I know he wants the best 4 me n I know he will come around I think he is so scared n he just don't want nothing to happen 2 me. I think it was really hard on him with me n cancer that he thinks it's to soon 4 me to put my self through another major surgery. But the doctors gave me the go ahead so im sure they won't do this if they didn't think my body could handle the surgery. I'm wishing myself the best of luck. Thank you

I'm not sure exactly what my BMI is but I think it 38. Something my weight is currently 249 so I'm doing good as far as losing weight but I need help really need help. I think he is just so sared because of this surgery being so close to my other surgery. My urologist said I was clear to have my lap band. Doctors know better they we do and I would not be doing this myself so soon if I didn't get the ok from all my doctors. I will have to really explain to him this is 4 a better healthier me. I really need 2 take care of this one kidney I have left n try to make him understand this. I talk to but sometimes he acts like I'm losing my mind. He thinks I can do this alone but that is not my reality. I need help. Thank you all for the advice. I will figure this out somehow. Thanks again

I'm going 4 surgery 2morrow but it not 4 the lap band. I found out in stead of losing weight I will be losing on of my Kidneys do to cancer. I was cleared n was ready 2 have my lap band put in this month but before that date came I became sick m was in the ER where I found there was a mass on my left kidney. So god had other plans 4 me. I just pray that this doesn't happen 2 anyone else.

MOON_CHILD7275 replied to Pooh plus size's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
This is also my doctor. I have heard so many good things about him and they say he is the best in what he does. I have not had my surgery yet still waiting on getting my letter from PCP n then I will be on my way. But I really think we're in very good hands with him. Tracey Sher -
I'm so pissed went 2 my doctors 2day n I still need 2 letters in order for me to able to have surgery. I hate myself so much now because it's my fault I didn't get the letter last week from my PCP. So hopefully it won't take so long before I'm banded.
