I am still waiting for insurance approval. I will have it at DePaul also.

Who is your doc?

I am seeing DelaTorre. I have 3 more days to Band Day!(19th) Is that who you have?

Welcome, There are several of us looking at January/February surgery. It's good that we have our own little Missouri support system. Take care and let us know how you are doing.

Wher are you having your surgery? I am having it done on Wed the 19th at DePaul hospital

My wife and I were banded on 9/12 and 9/19 I will be glad to be your banded buddy. We had are done at Des Pers Hospital by Dr. Minkin. We think will get a third fill after the 1st of the year.

Great! My doc is Roger DelaTorre (I forget how to spell it) My husband thinks I am crazy for doing this but is still supportive of me if it is what I want. I just want it to be over, the closer it gets the more nervous I get. I still want it but I just want it to be 2 weeks from today!

I need help....I'm trying to download my ticker and it keeps saying Invalid file or Invalid URL. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

I wish I could tell you. I am trying to figure it out too!!

I am having mine done on Dec 19 at DePaul Hospital in St Louis. Anyone else??

Centrum chewables are pretty good, but the Centrum Silver chewables which have more of what you need are pretty nasty. I bought the Baraiatric Advantage Vitamins that I can swallow. They are in a small thin capsule form that has been OK'd to take.

How were most of you closed up?? Glue, stiches or staples. I am going to have staples (12-19-07) which I have never had. I have had 2 c-sections with dissolving stiches.

How is it to have staples removed?

Congrats to you jweiss1000!!!! I love to read the good experiences!!! I am scheduled for the 19th and would like to have the same results as you!! I want to lose 100lbs.

Do you think you will have any problems with not drinking when you get to eat reg food? I can't imagine not washing down my food. I was told Applesauce would be OK to use instead and not leave you thirsty. Does anyone else have any comments on this???

I am schedule for lap band on Dec 19th, 2007. I am very anxious and nervous. I just hope I am one of the lucky ones that does well with it and loses!!!

My surgery is Dec 19th! Good luck!!!!!

Why the pain in the shoulders????
