Hang in there Jewel! You can do it! My surgery is at 7:45am. Hope to be out of there by 10. Please check back in after surgery and let us know how things are going. I just got my meds for after surgery. Ready to go! Take care and Good Luck!

Hi paul, My surgery is costing 8950 but it does not include fills and post op appts. My dr is retiring the end of this month but the dr who is doing my fills and aftercare is a nice guy. His staff is rude but I can deal. I didnt have it done with him originally because they wouldnt accept financing well thats what they told me. My dr. said that they did but I am confident i made the right choice of Dr.s he is really great and so is his staff.

Hi Glowormvl,

I wish you the very best in your journey. It would be so nice if staff members were a little more sympathetic to our causes, but to most, it's just a job. Keep your head up and I know you can make it through this. I really hope this is the very best decision that I am making. I still get anxious wondering how adjusting to life without the occasional Burger or pizza will be, but I know it is right to do this. I would really appreciate it if you could keep me updated on your Quest. Take Care and Good Luck!

Hi Violet,

I too am scheduled for surgery (Banded Plication) on Sept. 6th. Definitely looking forward to it, but with a bit of anxiety too. I was at 290 before the Pre-op diet started last Wednesday. Have lost 10 pounds with it. I know I still need the surgery though, otherwise I would just balloon up again. I am also a self pay customer. If you dont mind, what was you cost? Mine was 10,500 for Banded Plication. My name is Paul and I hope you have a worry free surgery.

I have my Banded Plication surgery on Sept. 6th. Started my Pre-op diet last night. Soup...Really looking forward to a new healthier body and Life!
