Hi there - saw your post - I had surgery in March with Dr. Schmidt in the same office. It is the best decision I ever made. I love Nadia the nurse practioner who does my fills and am very happy with the office in general. I go to the monthly support group at Hackensack associated with the group too. Let me know if you have any questions or need any support! Good Luck!!!

Hi Cynthia,

I'm glad your experience was good. I have a lot of questions that came up just reading the site. Can we speak offline? My email is corkee26 at yahoo.

Hi Corkee,

I'm also getting my Lapband with Dr. Ewing at 11/19/10 as well. Small world!! What time is your surgery? I'm a little bit nervous about getting the surgery done. Are you in any pre diet that I'm reading about in this site?

Hi Cynthia,

Is nice to hear from someone who has gone thru it and has only nice things to say about them. Would you know if you need to pay for the support group in Hackensack?

Thanks guys, I hope to hear from you both.

Try this.

Click on my ticker and it will take you to the page.

the go to create my own ticker.

The top section that has all those codes - copy it.

go to lapband home page and then click on user CP on the bottom left of the top blue section on the page.

Go down to edit signature

Paste onto the signature box.

let me know if it works or you need more help.

Took me forever to figure it out.

I got as far as developing a ticker, but can't for the life of me figure out which box to paste it too in the signature page. Is that the big box or one of the two small boxes in the bottom?

I put it in the signature box and it doesn't work. Now what?! lol Also, once you have it, what do you do to make it change the weight as you lose it?

Thanks again,

Randee

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
