I actually got it done in a surgery center here in Houston... Where in tx are you traveling to? Are you having the surgery the same day? They give you the results of the EGD as soon as you wake up... You have to kind of pick your option there if it is going to cost the same as driving here (gas and what not) as to getting it done there (consultation plus EGD) than I say do it there! hope that helped

I haven't really said anything to anyone about actually getting the lap band... Just curious how to tell people.... I ask because I can't help but feel like I won't have the support from everyone... I have a friend I told I was trying to get the surgery and first thing out of her mouth was I was crazy and I just don't need that!! I was hurt, when I explained it to my mother she was just not supportive like I thought she would be... I feel like she gets angry and wants to make everything seem worse than what it really is!! just feeling like I have no support from the people that mean so much to me!! I have to do for me ultimately but would like the support from family and friends!

Thank you so much!! I'm going in for my EGD this morning! Kind of nervous but hoping everything comes out great! thnx again!!

Cool! Been nervous about it but Its for the best! hope mine goes as well as yours did!

Good luck!!

OMG!! That is great we should keep in touch so we can let each other know there experience!!

I am pretty nervous to get my surgery it is scheduled for April 11th here in Houston! I am nervous about my surgery but am excited about the new adventure!! Still running a few tests but hoping everything is good so I can get the ok to go ahead and get this done... I've been trying to get this surgery for 4 years now!! Praying that it is my time to shine!!

If you don't mind me asking how did everything go??

Did you already have it done? How did it go? Lol how are you feeling?

Sorry for all the questions... If you don't mind I would love to hear how everything goes for you! And of course I will keep posting how my surgery goes!

Omg me too!! My EGD is Tuesday!! Let me know how that goes for you I am nervous about that as well... my surgery is the 11th of April... I chose next month cause of work schedule.. But I have been really nervous and just sometimes scared and worried I've been trying to keep my mind off of these things but sometimes I just can't and all I can think about is my surgery! Have you started the protein shakes? If so which ones are you drinking I am actually having trouble finding one that I actually can drink... So far just the strawberry they have there in the office?

Thank you! I am hoping everything does go well! I will def keep posting just been concerned lately about everything!! I think it's just my brain taking over and am freaking myself out! Lol
