  1. I'm schedule for the 16th too! I just had my pre-op appointment with my surgeon today. Good luck to you.
  2. Hal, Thanks so much for your post. I've been having some of the same thoughts. "Do I really want to burn my boat---is this the right decision for me---will I be successful." My surgery date is March 16th. I've been going through the process for 2years-- seminar, upper GI, psych eval. , nutrition counselor, etc. I have not told many people and the people I have told, it as been 50/50. Two were very negative and two were supportive. I only told my boss this past Friday after she confided in me that she had breast cancer. I decided if she trust me, I would trust her with mine. But given my sensitivity to negative input, I have decided to tell no one else. My prayer is that I can do this and I will succeed.

    23 Days...packing list

    Thanks! This forum is just full of information!!
  4. I don't know why my surgery is so late in the day. It would be nice to get it over with early in the day. I'm sure the hospital will charge me for a whole day instead of a half day... don't you think?
  5. How did you get through the process so quick? It took me 2 years
  6. It's really a shame what the insurance companies make us to through. Good luck on the 16th. My surgery time is 12:15 what about yours?
  7. Got my date today. I'm scheduled for March 16th. I'm so scared. I hope that I can do this !!!
  8. Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I'm going through the process of getting a surgery date. I have had my upper GI, & Nutrition appt. and will be going to see the Psych. in the next few weeks. I'm not use to forums such as this and it feels a little odd, but I hope to learn from all of you. I'm a little scared about the surgery. The "little talking monkey" on my back says I will be the first in lap band history for it not to work for me. (That's on my bad days) I have a few family members who feel it is not a good idea to have LB surgery. That is weighing heavily on my mind. But I feel I must do something different in order to have the quality of life I want for myself. May surgery date will be sometime in December or first of the year.:thumbup:
  9. Good luck to you as well. It will be good to get the surgery behind me. Even if the surgery date is in December. I think I'm ready to go. My nutritionist has suggest the Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies book, so I'm reading that and will go to the Vitamin Shoppe this afternoon to select a protein drink to try out. She suggested I try them now and decide on one I like best.
