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 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.
