Hello Everyone- I just got home from the hospital a few hours ago my surgery was yesterday. I feel great, just a lil swore, but overall I feel great. Just wanted to thank everyone for their prays and mental support. So many of you have given support and comfort to others even if you may not know you give it to people just by reading your threads. I hope my journey for the right tool to help me on my quest to a healthy life ends with the band. Good luck to all the May bander awaiting surgery date, I will keep you in my prays. Peace, Love and Hair Grease. BMI 40 231 POUNDS Now, Lets get this party started.

Thanks, everyone for your infromation I am sure it will be a real blessing to me during my recovery. I was just told that my date was changed to May 2, 2007. I know it just one day but I just cant wait to have this step completed and on with my new life. Please keep me in your prays on that day.

Hey Banders- I remember seeing this check-list a few months ago and I didn't print it out, does anyone have that great list for items to have on hand to help you recovery more comfortable? Thanks in advance, Daye. BMI 40/232 Band Date 5/1/2007:clap2: Potomac Hospital, VA Dr. Halmi

May 1st. You are not alone, just last minute nerves. I will keep all May banders in my prays.

I'm new to the site I have been reading treads for about 3 weeks and has had my first visit to my specailist Dr. Denis Halmi in Woodbridge VA. I have sent most of my information to the insurence company just waiting my last blood work to be sent to the insurence company Great West for approval. I'm 32 with 5 kids , 4 are steps kids but are just like the one I birth. My BMI is 40 at 230 pounds I have HBP and during my pregancy I suffered CHF, youngest child is 3 yrs old (i brith) and I just want to see him bcome a man. So, with that said I hope for the approval and safe surgery possible of 4/25 at Potomac Hospital. If anyone knows of my DR. please send info. Thanks- P.S. So happy to be a part of this wonderful family.:success1:
