I am 30 years old, mom to 22 month old boy girl twins. Have PCOS, did infertility trmt to get pregnant. I have high blood pressure, am insulin resistant, and I am 5'1 and 195 lbs. I gained weight once I hit 20 and want to get healthy and prevent diabetes.

Surgery date: Nov 5th Highest Weight: 197lbs Preop diet starting weight: Not required Surgery weight: 195 Current weight: 195 Goal weight: 130

I am so busy that I can't get out to meetings with twins at home. I have my lapband date for nov 5 with Dr. W. I had my anasteology consult and cannot wait to get this done. I have been researching WLS for at least 6 months.

Im not preparing and I am not required to do a preop diet either. Will do what is required as soon as surgery is done.

I got my date today-November 5!!! I am so excited too. We are notorius November.

Mine is November 5! My first consult was July 31 so i'll be just over 3 months between then and surgery.

I like notorius november as well. I am getting banded for sure in nov. seeing anasteologist next week and will get a final date soon. Can`t wait to get banded.

Hi there! I thought i was going to be a sept or oct bandster. My dr office advised me a week ago that it will be sometime in nov. I had my initial consult on July 31 and have my anasteologist app on sept. 17. Then I can get an official surgery date. I contemplated Mexico but decided to stay local. I live in canada and have been researching wls for about 6 months. I had a consult for a tummy tuck in May and was told to loose excess weight first. It may be something to consider in the future. I am willing to be a buddy. I don`t use my real name online for privacy reasons. I am 30 years old and a mom to 21 month old twins. I am 5`1 and 197 lbs.

which dr did you see?

Do you have kids? You can do IVF and freeze embryos for when you are ready to have a baby if you want to. Hysterectomy is a permanent condition and would make you no longer able to have kids. Maybe it is a factor, maybe it's not.

Hi Scott. Glad it went well. How much did you pay for Mexico? Where will you get fills done?

I was diagnosed with pcos at age 20. took met for 3 years, tried clomid no success, and then injections. Gonal F and trigger worked for me, now mommy of 20 month old twins. I am getting banded hopefully in sept/oct and want to prevent diabetes and currently have high bp which i want to change.

I am sorry you are going through this. I'm sure you don't want to hear there are other men out there..blah blah...If you need to cry, cry. If you want to scream, scream. Punch your pillow, do whatever makes it better. Just don't run to food. You made a life change decision and you can do this, alone, married, single or divorced. Your future is in your hands. You made a choice, he made a choice. You need to stand up and take control of your life, your recovery and your well-being. You can do it and we are here to help!!!

:confused:How long are you each taking off from work. My dr. recommended at least a week. I was hoping for a couple days (with a weekend). My c-section wasn't too bad at all so this can't be much worse can it?

innotu-did you loose 13 pounds on pre op diet or since surgery?

I am 30 years old. I had my consult with bariatric surgeon thursday past. I am definitely getting banded and i had my blood work and bariusm swallow done. Next I have to meet with the anasteologist and then a date will be set for last sept or early oct. I hope for as soon as possible. I am 5'1 and 195 pounds. I have high blood pressure and am pre-diabetic. I can't wait to have this done and I have been researching this for several months now. I am Canadian and will self-pay for $14000.

sorry they changed your date. I dont have one yet. He said late sept or oct. They called my home today and i have to call back tomorrow. Regardless of which month, we are all getting banded around the same time. I am so excited to get this ball rolling. Making the decision was the hard part. Now we have to wait a few more weeks. I've been fat for 10 years, two months or less I can manage. hang in there!!

I am 30 years old, married for seven years. I have 20 month old twins (boy/girl). I am looking forward to being able to have a normal stomach again. I have PCOS and have gained weight in my abdomen area and have so much flab there. I want to be able to buy clothes in a regular store. No more plus sizes and no more hiding my body behind clothes trying to make myself invisible. I want to like my body, not detest it.

I want to buy a sexy black dress. I want to no longer hide my body under baggy clothes and be embarrassed andelf conscious about my abdomen.

Not yet. They are going to call me with an app to see the anasteologist and then set a date for last sept or oct. I hope asap. I want this started, i am excited to finally do something for myself and my health.

whats an nsv

Would anyone recommend going to Mexico to get the surgery done? I had decided to stay local but there is a HUGH price difference-14000 compared to 8000. How many fills will I rquire on a yearly basis on average? I know I can go to the US and there is talk of a nurse in victoria. If I am going to spend thousands on fills, I should stay local. Any advice?

I have decided to do banding too due to weight and pcos. I am 5'1 and 195 lbs. I don't eat alot and cannot loose weight. It takes me forveer to loose 5 pounds only to regain back. I just finished my pre-op testing-bariusm swallow and blood tests including 2 hr fasting glucose. My first consult is July 31 and I hope it's not too long before scheduled surgery. I have high blood pressure, depression, insulin resistance and I am only 30. I don't want to get full blown diabetes or heart problems when I am older. I want to feel better about my appearance as well.

I have my consultation on July 31, in 3 weeks. I have to get my barium swallow done next week and blood work. I can't wait to go to my consult. Do they ever turn you down? Plus my consult is $400.

what time is the meet?
