Anyone have Dr Christopher Joyce?

[CyndyG 0]

I just found out I never got approval for my respiratory. I have to see why. Im getting frustrated. I just want to have my surgery. Does anyone know how long out it is to schedule surgery for Dr. Joyce? I know it has to be at least 2 weeks. What all do you have to do?

Do not panic! Did they tell you that you have to go back and see the pulmonologist? If not just call him/ her and ask them to send the release to Dr. Joyce. Ask them when they will be sending it.

Each doctor you saw had to send a release for you, maybe they didn't send it or it could have gotten mixed up with someone elses paperwork.

It will happen quickly!

I just talked to the pulmonary Dr. and he said he needs to see me again. I may have to wait until next week. I hope not. I really want to get this done. I guess Ive waited this long I can wait a little longer.

Has anyone had to deal with nonsupport husbands?

Yeah.....non supportive boyfriend...he doesn't like the whole surgery idea..we've only been together since feb. but i explained to him this is for me...In the past, I was never able to live for me..this is a new life..ive made so many changes in my life. If I don't take care of me who will?

It'll all work out.

I told my b/f you might not always be around, but unless I do something, my fat will be.

Im so excited :cry_smile: I finally got my surg. date 10-21-08. I start my pre-op diet on the 6th the day after my birthday. My new birthday will be Oct. 21. The only bad news is they told me I have to pay $300 by the 15th for classes and a year to there gym.:thumbup: My DH is not happy seeing how he doesnt want me to do this anyway and now I have to pay more money. I told him to think of how much money I spent on diets that didn't work and to think of it as cheaper on more diets I would have tried and failed. This all just makes me want to try that much harder to succeed.

I have just been scheduled for October 7th at Silver Cross Hospital, Dr. Brian Lahmann. I am told that he and Dr. Joyce do surgery together. I am nervous and excited. My pre-op class is September 22nd. Anyone else going to that class?

[giddyupgrandma 0]

My birthday is 10-11. I think we are both scheduled for surgery on October 7th. My pre-op is September 22nd. What a great birthday present, huh?

[CyndyG 0]

I was suppose to have surgery on Oct. 7 but my DH will be out of town for the first two weeks of Oct.

I have to ask has anyone had a problem with eating more since they started? I seem to be hungry or just wanting to be putting something in my mouth the closer and closer I get to getting my lap band. I don't know if its nerves or psychological mind craziness. I seem to be eating until Im uncomfortable. Maybe I know after the lap band I won't be able to eat this stuff but the weight is coming back on.
