Dear Indiogirl, I just came upon your thread and am so excited. Another grandmother! And you are so successful, too! I am having my surgery Monday and I am scared to death. I have tried EVERYTHING to lose weight, including wiring my mouth shut AND being on the Dr. Phil show his very first year. I actually gave up until I found myself with diabetes a few months ago. That's when I knew that I had to do something! I have one day to choose between the Realize 9 band the regular 10cc and still don't know which way to go. Any suggestions. Thanks for being so supportive. This is a nice place to be. Ellen

I wanted Dr. Paya to do my surgery since I don't live far from his office. I also liked him a lot; he spent a lot of time with me and was very kind. I was so disheartened when my insurance company sent me elsewhere. I'm going to a great doctor, but I still wish Dr. Paya could have done it.

No, my Dr. only asks for one day of Clear liquids before the surgery. I'm kind of grateful for that, since I am so nervous about the surgery. I'm having it on Monday at 7AM! In the meantime, two months ago I discovered that I was diabetic. I've been on a diet and exercise program for that and have lost around 30+ pounds. Everyone in my family and my internist, too, are saying, "Have the surgery." I'm excited, doubtful and scared all at the same time!! Thanks for letting me vent. Wiredshut
