Corgi 0 Posted March 13, 2005 Jamie, I live in Trumbull CT and will be having my surgery with Dr. Elmer Valin in New Haven CT about 30 mins from my home. My husband is taking Friday off and taking me to the hospital with my mother. I have been thinking about you and it's kool that someone on the board is doing the same day. I told them at work that I will be on vacation, I am taking the following week off also. I only told a few people at work about my surgery, I hope I did the right thing, you know how people love to gossip. I'm really not getting nervous at all, I just can't wait to get this done. Were do you live and where are you getting yours done? I wish you luck we have to talk to compare our experience. Corgi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mom and husband will also be at hospital with me. This is really cool to know we will go through this together. I told everyone I work with and they seem to be very supportive. That is your choice though and only you know if you are comfortable telling others. I was very worried at first but I think it will be okay. I'm not ashamed of this WLS I feel it will help me and maybe if others know it could help someone else looking for an answer to help them too. Please feel free to pm me I would like to get to know you better. If I can help let me know and YES we will compare battle scars and good advice. LOL!!!I will be off work my self all next week after surgery so I'll check in with you Okay!! Good luck and I will be thinking of you on the way to the Operating room. I'l say okay Corgi we can do this and here we go!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jammin & Losin 1 Posted March 16, 2005 I just wanted to say that my band day is almost here Friday March 18th and I should tell each and every one of you who have ever posted on LBT thank you!!! You all have given me hope and so many encouraging words that I will be forever greatful to each of you. You all have given me the courage to go after this life changing tool and have answered so many questions that have already made my journey thus far so much easier.

I am taking the biggest and scarest step in my life to lose weight and I am happy that I am.I know I am making the right desicion and I won't regret it. I know I have lots of suport along the way Thanks to you all for taking time out of your buisy lives to make a huge difference in other peoples lives.
