Hey! I had my first seminar with dr kwons office 4/28/2005. I have had alot of appts between then and now But the remaining appts->I have my upper GI, fasting blood work and dietician on 5/31/2005. 6/8/2005 i have my endoscopy..and then i don't have my sleep test til 6/25/2005. So not that long..If i was able to get my sleep test sooner i probably could be done faster. So depending on what u have to do, and how far the appts are set apart i would say time frame of 1-3 months? Kristen

Barb, I am soooo happy that you are going to use Dr Kwon, As from porclndoll there is alot of peeps on here that use him, I am almost done with all my pre-op appts! He is wonderful! Porclndoll i saw @ our last support meeting with the pysch and she looks wonderful for just being out of surgery..Good Luck keep us posted!

Hey everyone, I hope all is well, I had my cardiologist appt tdy, i have a slight heart murmer. he didn't think it would be a problem, Also he doesn't think i should go for a stress test because everything else is GREAT! Is that going to be a problem, Should i call dr kwon's office and ask?? I have to go monday for an echocardiogram..And then i will be at the support meeting. Is it at mauri's or the orange inn??? My paper says mauri but a few people say Orange inn????/ Thanks for the help Kristen

Hey all my name is Kristen and i am from NY, I just attended a lap-band seminar 4/28 with Dr kwon and i very excited! Most of my pre-op appts are for may and some into june. I hope i can have surgery by the end of june or beginning of july. I have been heavy since i was born (literally) I weight 334.00 and have about 180lbs to loose.. I know its alot and people are like why don't you go for gastric, FIRST of all i can't see anyone rearrangeing my insides *yuck* and i need something that can guide me for the rest of my life. Hope to meet everyone. Thanks Kristen
