Lch8 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Hello, I decided about a month ago that I was going to get lap-band. I told my mother and went to a seminar within 2 weeks of deciding. Two days after the seminar (a week ago yesterday) I was at the doctor's office, doing the pre-op visit, meeting the dietitian and getting a psych evaluation. It happened really fast. The only thing I was waiting for was my funding, which is coming out of a savings account. The managers of the account said it would take 4-6 weeks to process the request and get the check out to me. I sent the request out less than 2 weeks ago and the check came in the mail today! Now I just have to call the Dr. and let him know we can go ahead with the tentative date we had planned on. I can hardly believe this is really going to happen! I'm so excited and kind of scared. It's a lot of change and very quickly (I also got a new job this past week), but I know it's for the best. Now this is where I could use help... I have so many questions about what to do and how to do things. I can't think of them all now, but I'm sure they will come to me. But for starters: 1. How do I tell friends and family? What friends and family did you decide to tell? 2. Are there any special preparations that I should do ahead of time at my house for my recovery? 3. Anything nobody told you that you wish you had known? Thanks so much! :wub::bored::wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
