Hey Spot - I'm scheduled with Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver on April 5th. I start my pre-op diet on March 21st. Have you talked to the dietician yet? I haven't heard anything from the office since I got my initial paperwork packet with the pre-op diet and stuff.

Oh wow! We'll just miss each other!

I did talk to the Dietitian 4 or so days ago. I had an appointment to talk to her, pretty much right after I had made the surgery appointment. I think you should call them and get a date and time worked out for her to call you. Be prepared for a loooong conversation when you do speak to her, lol.

Are you local to Dr. K, or are you coming in long distance? I'm coming there from Wisconsin. I haven't got a hotel yet, but my flight and rental car is all worked out.

I'm local, I live in Denver. I will definitely call tomorrow and set up an appointment to talk to her. I only live about 15 minutes from Dr. K's office. I set up my surgery date in early January, because I needed to plan ahead to be off work and get some other things out of the way. Let's talk in this thread afterwards and see how it went for both of us!

How long are you staying before you go back home to Wisconsin?

I will get there on Tuesday and leave Thursday. In and out as much as possible.

I'm so excited to have met someone that's not only going to be banded at almost the same time as I, but also from the same doctor! Yay!

You can do it though!

Is it the surgery that has you nervous, or just the whole life change in general? For the surgery, maybe you can discuss with your doctor your fears, and he/she can help you out with that a bit. There's a lot of different medications that can help you calm down. If it's the whole thing in general, maybe try to keep your eye on the prize, and think about how wonderful you'll feel, how good you'll look, and all the hundreds of positives.

Let us help squash that fear for you. <3

Looking forward to the pre diet as well as getting the band. Sounds silly but biggest worry is being constipated...crazy, huh?

Nah, not crazy, lol. I'm currently worried about all these gas pains people have after surgery. I'm reading conflicting reports on whether or not Gas-x works, but just in case, I bought some of the dissolving strips. I'm flying from Wisconsin to Colorado for my surgery, and the last thing I want is to be uncomfortable on the plane. .
