Fernando 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Hi my name is Kim, aka Huggie Bear, and I hear about this site last night at a lapband support group meeting. I am scheduled to have my surgery May 13, and can not wait!!! I look forward to getting to know people here and sharing and laughing and crying along with you. I hear I get to start the "fun" pre surgery diet here very soon, I guess I'll hear all about that tomorrow at my final appointment with my surgeon. Look forward to getting to know others Huggie Bear:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jnbwilds 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Kim, Congratulations on taking these first steps! Welcome to the forum - you will certainly learn a lot. The best thing about the forum though is just having a support group of people who know EXACTLY what you're going through. Good luck with your pre-op diet!

Fernando 0 Posted April 30, 2008 :confused:Hi! I have a question how long do u have to wait after the seminar before u have surgery? My seminar was way back in the begining of March. It was a very preliminary thing. My surgeons average time from consult to surgery is 8-12 weeks. I will be right at 12 weeks but there was a 3 week lapse in there where my doctors office was waiting on the final approval for my surgery, but when I called my insurance 3 weeks later they did not show a request for surgery. So I probably could have been done around 8 weeks. But there is an end is sight now so it's all good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fernando 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Wow I have done nothing all night but look through this site!! It is simply amazing, what a community of people. I copied/pasted several recipes I am going to take to the doctor tomorrow to make sure they will be ok for my post-op full liquid. Will be back in here!! U know there are so many new posts just since I signed up that it's nearly impossible to keep up, WOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
