Hello there! I am new to the site and scheduled for surgery next week. I had a question and wanted to introduce myself first. I am really looking forward to the surgery and wanted to get some experiences from others on what to expect. I am not real familiar with the forum and I am thinking I need to go over to pre op and ask my question so I am headed there now! Hope to hear from someone. Have a great night!

Hello Angeleyes, I am scheduled for the 16th. Where are you located? I cant believe how quickly it has come up. This site has been helpful, I am making a list of the things everyone recommends and going to go get everything Monday so I am all set! Oh yes, and I am doing laundry like a madwoman today:whoo:How long since your decision to have the procedure to surgery date?

Hi Rhonda, I am also very new. This whole thing has moved very quickly for me I had my initial evauluation on July 30th, my surgeon visit is scheduled for August 14th and my surgery date is scheduled for August 16th. So I am planning for surgery but havent had my surgeon visit yet. My best friend had the lap band done about four years ago so I am pretty familiar with her experiences and I was looking for more information and this site has been great. I hope you get the information you are looking for this seems like the right place to start.

AzGirl - I am located in Ohio. I am having the band done in Cincinnati. I have been researching weight loss alternatives for well over a year and have researched the band extensively. Actually I had my consult two weeks ago, my psych visit, and a seminar and decided to go ahead. Having hard time with pro-op diet. Stomach hurts and everything going right through me if you know what I mean. I too am going this week to stock up. I am hoping to be ready ready ready!
