Source: Anticipating Surgery In August

I have to be on liquid diet for 3 days before surgery, I think it depends on your BMI/surgeon...

You're invited to join our august 2012 bandsters group if you haven't already. Good luck and take care...

contratulations to all of you!!!

I'm so excited I can't stand it. Seems like it'll take forever for Aug. 28th to get here! I can't wait to get started on this part of my life! I have bought skinny-clothes just waiting to be able to wear them. I never buy clothes that fit me now anymore.... I bought size 8 levi's yesterday and they're soooo cute!!! Well, it's late and I've just run out of things to talk about, I'm just a waitin'...

I've been out of comission for a while, had to get a new computer. Got a little netbook so I can keep in touch everywhere I go! The other notebook laptop had a bunch of stuff on it from my kids (games) and I couldn't get it to run. I got this just for ME ME ME! Had a long day today, applied for my passport for the trip to Mexico,should be here in 2 1/2 weeks- 3 weeks they said. Just a waitin'...

I'm just a waiting! I'm having a hard time waiting! my date is august 28th, can 't wait...

congratulations!

I had found a dr. before I scheduled surgery that was 4 1/2 hours away, I wouldn't have scheduled surgery without having a dr. to take care of me first, i was just glad to find one closer and more reasonable in price... But thanks for the concern...

No you shouldn't! HAHA

I found a Dr. that will do my aftercare/fills that is 45 min from home! I thought I was going to have to drive 5 hours each time! My best friend who had lapband surgery 3 years ago's dr agreed to take me even though I'm having surgery in Mexico! He's very well know in our area, as there aren't many bariatric dr's at this time (we're out in BFE as some would call it). HAHA I'm really sure now that lapband was the way for me to go vs. vsg. I almost opted for the sleeve because of problems with f/u care/fill dr's being scarce. But now I don't doubt I'm doing the right thing...He charges 450.00 for 1st post op visit, then 200.00 for each fil, whick seems hight, but I was going to pay more for the dr. that was 5 hours away, so I feel fortunate to have this Dr. to take care of me... Thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts, Just a waitin'...

I have done all of that, found one 45 mine from home that is reasonable.

Yay Cool! Hope everything goes great for you...

You should have lap-band surgery if you feel it is right for you. It'll work, but it is just a tool. I try to keep reminding my self of this, but it is an awesomely effective tool...

While I normally bounce back from everything, I am not sure about purchasing SeaWorld ticket in advance . I have 4 hours from the time I leave hospital until I can check into my room in SanDiego 1st day post-op. I really want to take the mission bay sky-lift ride, and see the dolphins & sharks. I think I can do these 3 things and be alright. They aren't physically demanding, but the walking will be quite alot. But I'm think I'll need to walk,and that it would be away to ensure I do some walking that day. I'm afraid if I went back to the room immediately I might just lay down and sleep. I think I'll just wait and see...But I have to have something to do for 3 hours so I might as well do Sea World...What do you all think?

Hope you all find out you get banded soon... Keep in touch...
