aj700,
Thanks for responding to me about your Lapband. I went to my first seminar July 29. It has taken this long to get everything in order with all the test that have to be done and waiting on insurance. It has been a long process. I am so excited about Dr. Newman doing my surgery. He and everyone involved has been so nice and helpful. It has been great working with them. I'm getting nervous about my surgery. I just dont want to fail at this like I have in the past. I have about 100 lbs to lose, they say not to expect that amount in one year - maybe two years. I will let you know how things go with my surgery.
Thanks, Betsy

Betsygirl replied to IWannaBeSkinny's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also to be a January 12 bander! I started by pre-op diet today..5 small meals a day for the next 2 weeks. So far I'm doing pretty good. I'm 47 years old with 2 children (22 & 16). I'm having my surgery at Wesly Long Hospital in Greensboro, NC. Started the process at 272 now 264. I hope to lose 80-100 lbs!! I can hardly wait to start losing:thumbup: -
Started Pre-op today! Excited and ...
Betsygirl replied to WorkingMom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started my pre-op today too! I'm working nights tonight and I'm worried how I will make it all night with nothing to eat!!! I'm setting here looking at my elipitical trying to make myself get on it and exercise. If this program is going to work, I'd better get on it. Good luck to you. I'm also having my surgery on Jan. 12!~!!!:tongue2: -

I just heard from my Doctor...I'm having my Lapband surgery January 12, 2009! I am so excited!!!! I have been going thru the process since July 29, 2008 and it is finally going to happen. I also feel a little scared and doubting myself now that its really going to happen. I'm afraid I will fail at this like all the other diets I've been on. I guess I should be happy and not worry! Yeah right!:whatchutalkingabout

Happy Thanksgiving!! I just found out that my insurance will cover my surgery, I have had all the test (and passed them all)! Turned in all my paperwork now I am waiting on a surgery date. I know it will be after January 1, 2009, but at least I'm getting closer!!!YEAH:thumbup:

I haven't checked this Lapband site for a couple of days, whats with the new design. I really liked the old one much better!!:rolleyes2:

I havent been banded yet, hopefully it will be in November. I was wondering...Those of you that have lost 80 - 100 lbs, to you have excess skin that hangs?:thumbup: If so, what can you do about it. I have started taking a waterarobic class and enjoy it. Will this help?

Hello from N. Carolina
Betsygirl replied to bandfun4me's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am from virginia, but having my surgery in NC. I am going thru the process of all the testing. All my testing will be Oct 13 and Oct 16. Hopefully after the test results come in and they send everything to my insurance, I too will have a surgery date!!! I am so excited! I have already started a swimnastic class to help the weight loss before the surgery. Where are you having your surgery. Mine will be done a Mose Cone in Greensboro.
