So when is your date? Advise, hmmmm where to start, lol. Just be comfortable with your decision. Have your groceries ready. Take comfortable, loose clothes with you to wear home. Be patient!

how long did it take you from your 1st visit w/the surgeon to your date of surgery? my 1st consultation is Weds (the 13th).

Hi All,

I have been reading this forum for some time while I have been thinking about banding. Thanks for the sharing you all do. I finish the last part of the process tomorrow and then need to wait for insurance ok. I think I am going to need help in how to post a ticker tape. Any ideas?

go to Graphical Tickers for your Signature, Message Boards, Blogs and Web Page and go through the steps in choosing your ticker. then copy the metadata so you can paste it

thanks.. It has taken me about 7 months to decide to have the lap band. I am very excited and nervous. I went to my first support group last week and loved it. my first visit (June 7th)with the surgeon went well and the date of my surgery isn't until July 20th. the wait is long but worth it.

Congrats malaura! :clap2:

You'll have to come to the thread entitled Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters . It's for all of us being banded in July. The group is getting pretty big.

Hope to see you there
