hi LTjr I just schedule my appointment with him next thursday to have a date for surgery I met him at my second session and I was very impress he answered all my questions, now I am scared and happy at the same time

hey lucky you because I just went to see the Dietician & psychologist this week over at BIDMC I was told to loose at least 15 lbs

hi Gingin I'm going to Beth Israel Hopital for mine and so far the staff there are great and I know a few people who had good experiences with all of their surgeon so check them out go to their website for more info, Dr Jones, Dr Sanchez I know they have two more. I've met Dr Sanchez she is nice

I had my first appointment this morning it was ok. Nutritionist and spychiatrist in two weeks. I am happy and worried at the same times. did anyone had to remove their gallblader before surgery?:nervous

Berry How long after your first appt did you finally get a date for surgery

I'm thinking about the band but I'm really scare :success1:. Also can somebody let me know if the site where they will do the fill is visible or is it like a G tube that they place in you stomach and how long does it takes to feel normal again.

hey Guys I am going for my first session on 4/12/07 and I have my first appt on 4/17/07. I am so scared.

thank you so much Berry & CherryW you guys have no idea how much better I feel now. I will call the nurse back on monday & let you know my decision.

my pcp want me to go to Beth Israel hosp. where did you had yours done? the nurse called me this afternoon for my first phone interview but I was still at work, I will call her back on monday. I really need the surgery but I am scared of complications just because I have a heart condition, my pcp think the surgery will be good for me and I will be just fine but I know how it feels to be in pain I had four procedures done to help my condition, plus last year I had surgery on my right ankle. so you see I am really, really, really afraid.

I read some of the complications that people are having with the band and to be honest they scare the ****** out of me. can someone please,please help me get over my fear:help:

Berry how are you feeling? are you still in pain

Dr C I am thinking about having the surgery done. what is the Bandster rules. and what is the chance of having a slippage thanks

I have the same fear as Becca my pcp approve for me to have the surgery but I am afraid the insurance comp will not approve. I had my first phone interview today so hopefully everything will work out for me and soon I will be banded I can't wait to finally turn my life in the right direction

hey maryrose how are you feeling I am going for my first meeting session on 4/12/07

Thanks Maryose I will probably have it done at Beth Israel Hospital. I already sent my application I am just waiting for the first interview hopefully everything will work out. good luck to you too

Thanks guys for the info. I will keep you posted on my decision
