Deb, Thank you for responding back. I live 30 min south of Burnsville. I will try to switch my nurses. Thanks for the great advice. It's so nice to hear good things about the surgery. I am starting to prepare myself daily by choices I make. Hopefully I get enough courage to go through with it. Thanks, Julie

Spencd1 Thank you for responding. The pychological test was not bad at all. I am excited to see the results. Have you had any problems with your surgery? Slipage, or have you recieved a fill? The nurse told me i would be meeting with Carol. I hope to request Jones. I also herd good things about him. Has it been hard not to eat as much? I am so undecided and scared. Everyone tells me try to just diet and exercise. I just dont want problems after the surgery. I hear so much stuff on this forum that it's such a hard decision. Could you tell me allitle of your experience? Thanks, Julie

Hello Minnesota Lapbanders, I am new to all of this. I have my first visit with the doctor this friday. They recieved all my paperwork. I meet with the phychologist first. I dont know what to expect. I am going through Park nicollet at St. Louis Park. I have not met my physician. Any recommendations at St. louis park? I have so many questions to ask. I have been following the forum for the last year. I recently joined, and found the minnesota crew. I have heard lots of good and bad stories. I love to eat. I have been fat since I was 8 years old. I weight 255 lbs and 32 years old. I really need to changfe my life. Any advice? Thanks! Jules

Hello Minnesota Lapbanders, I

Thanks! Your story has been very helpful. I am just in the first stages of thinking about surgery. I meet with the doctor on friday. Little scared. Good luck with your process. I wish you a healthy recovery.
