I am an "oldie" but I wanted to wish you and your dh good luck. I think it is awesome that you are both doing this together.

Sorry to hijack your thread but I was happy to see another Texan in the March forum. My surgery is on Monday with Dr. Cribbins' partner, Dr. Hamn. I'm not sure if you and your husband are local but I think it would be cool to have other DFW Texans in the March forum. :biggrin:

Unfortunately, not local. We live about 4 hours away in Northern Louisiana. We are working through a local office here that Cribbins does the surgeries for and has trained the physician for aftercare. I have heard wonderful things about Cribbins and Hamn and don't mind the travel vs. the one suegeon here locally (no offense to anyone that uses my local surgeon).

My procedure is the 7th as well. Dr. Aceves is my doctor. I'm so excited! Even my daughter is counting down with me, she's happy for me.

Best wishes to you and your DH, hope to see you on here with a great success story!

I have been excited, not nervous at all...until today! My stomach is all aflutter i'm so nervous. i've been looking forward to this and now that i'm packing to get it done, well, i guess i truly expected something to happen and for it all to fall through.

best wishes to all who are having it done this week! See ya back here to share our successes!

HI!

I'm being banded on 3/7/2008 too! It has taken 9 months to get this far! I am really excited. I would have been banded on 2/15 except I fell down the stairs and broke my leg in two places! I am sooo ready. Congratulations on your banding! KW

I had all my day before stuff done and now im so excited! didn't think i would need that sleeping pill the doc gave me, but now i'm starting to think i will be too excited to sleep.

funny thing happened while getting tests done at the hospital though. the nurse (male) first had me put the gown on w/ the opening in the front, i got to leave my pants on, then for the next test he said to put the gown on w/ the opening in the back. so i started to, and he was like, "no, wait til i leave the room" it was hilarious.

well i'm going to go have my "last supper" lol then sushi of course before going to bed!

HI,

How lucky are you? I didn't get anything to help me sleep! I have been busy getting ready for the big day too. I guess I'll depend on some tea before bed. I wish you and everyone getting banded the best of luck and speedy recovery. Here's to us!!!
