tkcuvelier 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Hi! I am new to the forums and thought I would post a quick introduction. I just had my surgery on Thursday, October 16, 2008 of last week, and am in the healing process. Never in the world did I think I would be as looking forward to eating pureed food as I am right now! I began looking into both the bypass and the lap-band surgeries last year, and decided to opt for the lap-band. Now, I've got the surgery almost a week behind me, and am feeling better by the day. Well, that's a bit about me. Looking forward to meeting you all. :biggrin: Tara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vagabond 0 Posted October 22, 2008 I wish you luck on your journey. I am also from Michigan and I am planning to have the lap band procedure as soon as I can get approval from insurance. Who did your surgery and are you satisfied with the doctor? Kay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirajh 0 Posted October 22, 2008 HI I'm also from Michigan. The SE corner of Livingston County. I was banded July 07 in Mexico and have lost 115 lbs so far. Where in Michigan are you from? I think it would be cool to have a small support group with Mi. bandsters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ninjas_girl1 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Hello, I am also from Michigan. I live in the Lapeer area. I have already been to a seminar, had my phsyc eval done today and he gave me the green light, and I have a appointment with my surgeon next Tuesday the 28th. I spoke with my surgeon last night at the seminar and he said they were setting surgeries for right after Thanksgiving so I am hoping to be having surgery sometime the first of December. Keep us posted on how you are doing and what works for you. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shortcake 0 Posted October 22, 2008 I have not had the surgery yet. I am waiting for a date. :bored:I am envious that your surgery is over for you .

I am from NH but was invited last summer to Frankfurt, MI and loved it!!!! :thumbup:Anyway, sorry I got side tracked! Go girl!:sad_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
