Any May Bandsters?

[devotion 41]

I am so excited for all of us too. I am already on the list but wanted to say I'm on May 16 and going to Dr. Zapata in Monterrey, Mexico (after a ton of research on him of course). My mother, who is an RN, will be accompanying me - although I am 36, LOL. My husband and I thought it would be better for her to go since she is a nurse.

After 3 months of jumping thru hoops for Aetna, I finally have a date, May 20. I was surprised they only took a week to decide. I can't say enough how excited I am to finally have the hope to recognize a 25 yr old dream. I'm not scared but oh so anxious, I wish it was tomorrow!

I know your excited about getting your lap-band surgery this month. I had mine Mar 18th and got my first fill Apr 28th. I'm sure you know what to expect. I can tell you I'm real happy that I had it done for many many

reasons. I had mine at Duke University in North Carolina. They had me fast on Liquid Protein for about 10 days before my surgery and then they weighed me. I wish they had weighed me first then my loss would seem more dramatic. I had been dieting most of my adult life without much success until I joined a program with BC/BS. I did good with that but as usual I stopped and started gaining it back. My official weigh in was 329

March 18th and I have lost, so far, down to 287. This is the first time in many years that I feel so encouraged I have been going out at sun up and

walking 2 1/2 miles.

If I can give you a heads up on anything let me know

I went to my first consult with the surgeon today so I am starting the journey in May so hope I can join you all in the journey ! I think the consult raised more questions than I had to start with. The doc said lose weight before the op. but not how much or even how ! if i knew how I wouldnt need the surgery. I have 75 to lose after the banding. How did you all lose weight before your surgeries? thanks
