    Hello Everyone, I want to say hello and share that after 2 long years I have a surgery date of 12/17/2008. I have researched for years and have watched friends that have had gastric bypass. I truly believe this decision is personal and the more you talk about it, the more you read, go to meetings, etc. the closer you will come to knowing what is right for you. My best to all!

    Hi,

    I have been working so hard on getting this surgery set up I haven't had time for even reading this website. My bariatric doc requires a cardiac clearance for anyone 50 or over, so I have been going through that process with my cardiologist. He cleared me last Friday and I should be contacted to schedule surgery within 10 days. I am excited, I have been going through this process for over 2 years. Will keep you updated.

    Hello,

    I have been approved for surgery, finally, it has taken 2 years and my doctor called to tell me in patient's 50+, they must have a cardiac clearance from a cardiologist before scheduling surgery. Well, of course, this is taking another month to schedule and get the results back. Sometimes I think, since it has been such an uphill battle that GOD is trying to tell me something, but then I see a picture of me and I know I must have WLS. Very discouraged and have had all of the time in the world to worry about how effective the band will be, even though I know it is just a tool and we have to make it work for us. Thanks for listening, like you haven't heard this thousands of times.

    Yvonne, The account of your LB experience has really helped me. I will start questioning my decision once I get my surgery date and reading your posts help me. I am glad to hear you feel so much better.

    Charlene K Would you please explain to me what a supervised diet is and what process you are following? I have to follow one for six months supervised by a doctor and a letter summarizing the process won't work. I would very much appreciate your guidance with this question.

    Diane, Don't be so hard on yourself. You have gone through a lot physically and mentally and you are done except for a few pounds. That must be a weird feeling. You sound tired. Rest up, spring is coming and that 10 lbs will be gone before you know it.

    Dr. Leporte and Dr. Francis are in Fountain Valley (Orange Country) and they will take patients that had their surgeries in other countries.

    Paula, What kind of diet pills do you take? Is it OK to take diet pills with the band?

    Mandy, You are truly an inspiration to all!

    Skinnysoon, thank you for the feedback. Since I am in the beginning of the process I will certainly be on the look out for this run around. It isn't their fault your insurance wouldn't cover your surgery but the way they treated you is unacceptable.

    I am starting the process with Dr. LePorte. I have heard only good things about him. He performed gastric bypass on a friend of mine and she has done well. I have chosen to go to Orange Coast Medical Center. Dr. LePorte favored gastric over lap band.

    Hi Les, I am considering this procedure and would really appreciate your input. Was the process worse than you had expected?
