Well it really has already begun...it started with first hearing about the procedure...save that for another time...now for the good stuff...

Seminar-2/17/09

Surgeon, Nutritionist & Head Doc-2/17/09

Loan Approval-2/19/09

Pre-op visit with the surgeon 3/5/09

Band date 3/6/09

I am really excited and nervous at the same time, I don't do very well with anethesia. What I am really scared about is WILL THIS WORK FOR ME??? What if it slips, or worse erosion, because I know that if either one happens I will be fat for the rest of my life.

Okay, enough depressing stuff...questions??? I have to travel out of town for the procedure, how many nights should I stay in a hotel? How many days should I stay at home...doc says one week, and last but not least...I am a smoker (I plan to quite 2/27/09...I had a chext x-ray and I made the mistake of looking at it and now I nervous about that...Would a bad x-ray keep me from having the procedure?
