Wanted to say HI! Barely getting going, but already think I'll be visiting this site often for the support and help!

I've been to my first seminar, turned in my paperwork and will be attending another one tomorrow night to go over the diet etc. If they'll have me, I'd like to get my band within the next 2 weeks. I'm under the recommended BMI, but have numerous health issues that might allow me to have the surgery.

I'll know more tomorrow..

Later,

I am under the BMI for banding here, being a 31, so I had to self pay. Come check us out at the Lower Bmi Thead sometime!!

Good luck with all of your preop stuff. You will love being banded.

Thanks for all the good wishes. Just returned from one of the classes/workshops...where they bring in the nutritionist, nurse, Exercise guru...etc. Kind of worried about 5 days of liquids. What to tell people, who to tell at all? Anyway, set a date with Dr. on the 6th, with surgery on the 12th. Pretty nervous about the lifestyle changes. Kind of worried about meds. I take a bunch, can't see crunching them all up and keeping them down!

Totally self pay, so no waiting around for much of anything. Just had a short trip for work next week, or I could be banded week after next. Hope I don't get cold feet! I'll keep in touch. My husband isn't too interested in being my sounding board :notagree
