Oregon Rocks

Hello everyone! I can't believe it is almost November already. I hope everyone is doing well. I started my pre-op diet yesterday. My surgery is still on for November 21st. GOOD LUCK!

November 21st for me I am 45 and live in Oregon.

That would be great. I added you as a friend. Where do you live?

I hope you get approved. My surgery is scheduled for November 21st. It can't come soon enough. I live in Oregon. I am married with two kids. Best wishes.

Exactly what is the difference between soft food and mushies? Can you please give examples. Thanks

After you had surgery, how long was it before your doctor wanted you to come back for a follow-up visit? Then, when did you have your first fill? (I know the fill date will vary for everyone) THANKS.

Thanks Missy. Have you found that a normal kitchen blender is fine?

Hello All, I can honestly say that this forum helped me to make my decision to have Lap Band surgery in November. When I make a decision, it is always after A LOT of research. I appreciate everyone's honesty and support of others on this site. I just turned 45 and I am a happily married mother of two. I am also a 2nd grade teacher in Oregon. With the school year about to start, I have such a positive attitude. I have come to realize that it is because I have committed to surgery and I have HOPE for the first time in years. I am looking forward to this journey and sharing it with others

Hello All! I really like how positive this thread is. I am having surgery on November 21st. I hope you don't mind, but I am sending out some friend requests. Best wishes to you all!

dawalsh, I checked with two local doctors to see if they do fills for patients who had surgery in Mexico. I checked BEFORE scheduling my surgery. Both do fills.

Have you had Lap Band surgery in Mexico? I can't afford the self pay price in Oregon. Is it worth the travel and risk? Any input would be appreciated.
