Going for it on October 24th

marthatk · October 10, 2006

This is my first post...so glad I found this forum! I am scheduled and ready to go. Really don't know what to expect in the beginning. Have a couple of girlfreinds who have done lapband and have been so happy with the results. I will go for pre-op on the 17th- hopefully I will feel better informed then. Dr Spiegel in Houston is my surgeon. Am completely confident in his ability to get it perfect. So far, feel like the process (signing up/seminar) seems like bit of a cattle call, but hope to have my opinion changed on the 17th when I spend more time at the clinic. Looking forward to finding the old me again when I peel back some of these fat layers.:biggrin1:

Welcome. I've read a lot of good things about Dr. Spiegel on this site. I'm just waiting for my surgery date and it's on.

Ree-

That is great news. I do think he is great at what he does and am glad to hear that others have been very pleased. Can't believe I am really gonna do it! YIKES!

Haven't heard from you are u doing well?

Doing well. Today is my last day of "real" food for a while. Tomorrow I am on liquids in preparation for my surgery. Still can hardly believe it. It is a pretty radical thing to do! I am ready for it....mostly ready to start feeling and looking better. Will update after my surgery on Tuesday. YIKES!
