agreatknead 1 Posted March 12, 2008 Well, my first attempt at posting ended up being a reply instead of a new thread so I am trying again. Hope it works this time :wink: Hello All, You have no idea how helpful and supportive you all are to those of us lurking around this site. Thank you so much for helping me make my decision. I read Dr. Ortiz's book "Lap Band for Life" and will be going to Mexico for my surgery. Actually it worked out perfectly because I am going on a cruise out of San Diego with my daughter and granddaughter. It is a Body, Mind and Spirit cruise with Wayne Dyer and others. Since my daughter paid for my flight from Michigan I will already be in San Diego and will go for my surgery right after the cruise. My BMI is around 40 so I was allowed to forgo the pre-op diet. That's a good thing although I don't plan on splurging on the cruise I'd hate to be in my cabin drinking Iso-Pure while the others were dining in luxury :-). I look forward to having the help of all you wonderful people after surgery on April 14th. You are such a great group you have no idea how much you are appreciated. Blessings,:smile: Sally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agreatknead 1 Posted March 19, 2008 Hi Sally,I went on a cruise the first part of october and had a BLAST!!! THEN i had my surgery OCT 29TH. Enjoy your cruise and then have your surgery and get seirous. Connie Hi Connie, My last name used to be Caldwell. What a small world. My husband passed away from cancer in 1999 and I have since re-married a wonderful man. They say there are only 6 levels of separation and the world is getting smaller every day with the help of the internet. I am very much looking forward to the cruise and then getting down to business. The next cruise I go on I want to be proud of the way I look in a bathing suit! Thanks for your support.
