Newbie!

Hi! My name is Kimberly. I'm new to the boards, and working to get approved for the lapband. Hopefully it won't be too long of a process, I would like to get this done before starting my RN program in May. Does anyone know if they are able to remove a bad gallbladder at the same time they place the band? Looking forward to making new friends!!!

Hi Kimberly, wow it sounds like you have lots to look forward too. I can only imagine how excited you are, not only about surgery but starting Nursing School too! I can't help you about your question, but wish you luck with that. I'm supposed to have my surgery in April, just waiting for one last clearance from the Lung doctor. That appointment is March 31st, then I see my surgeon on April 6th. I'm so excited and can't wait to start my new life! Best of luck to you!
