Great info PineNut..... and congrats on your progress!!

Welcome to the boards!! Watkins I THINK was in partnership with Montgomery when NWWLS opened and then Michaelson joined. Either way..... you can't go wrong with anyone from NWWLS and I'm speaking from a pre-op stage... I will be banded on the 21th by Michaelson. I just started my pre-op diet today.... My sister and I will both be at the support group meeting tonight (11th) at 7pm.... hope to see you there... i'm going to use this as a time to pick the brains of others before me!!

Thank you so much Dawn!! See ya on the 11th for sure!

Thanks Molly! Congrats on your progress so far!!

Question: I was weighed at NWWLS when I went in for my Nurse/Nutritional/Psych Eval.... on 5/21/07 and I was 307, I go back in on 6/11/07 for my pre-op... are they going to weigh me again on this day or again the day of surgery or will I just use 307 as my "pre-op" weight?:cry

Hi Dawn..... congrats on make it through to the other side! :mad: I'm not too far behind you I hope....(crossing fingers for June still)..... I love reading posts from those of you who have just been banded, it helps me more and more to understand what I might expect as well. Hope to see you at the support group on the 11th :mad:

Yah Pine Nut..... ya made it through.....and you ok!

Dawn: Congrats to you on your loss so far!! WWWWooohhhooo!! I'm planning to attend the support group on the 11th also, so save me a seat next to ya! :mad:

Wendy & Pinenut even though I'm late.... know I'm still thinking of you both..... I'm so excited for you two!:clap2:

I'm so excited for all of us... a year from now...wow.... I can't wait!!

I WILL be banded at NWWLS hopefully in June!! I just went to my 2nd seminar last night w/Michaelson, my hubby came with me just in case he had any questions that I had not thought of. And he did I go to NWWLS on Mon, 21st & Wed, 23rd...... I PLAN on going to the support group meeting on June 11th @ 7pm in Everett. I live in West Seattle (Alki), so if there are any others who have or want to have a group in that area at a later date I'm all for it!

Thanks for the welcome! Yes, they are going fast....but not fast enough...hehehe I've a reading and researching fool I tell ya.... and I THINK I'm ready to go like RIGHT NOW! My hubby and Sister are going with me to another NWWLS Seminar on the 15th in Bellevue...just so hubby can see it and ask any questions that he might have..... he is 100% supportive already...... but I would feel better if he heard about it from someone besides myself...(so I know he is listening) hehehe just kidding. He is also going to read the book that Jessie from NWWLS wrote when I'm done, I've only got about 15 pages left.

Hi Laurie.... I think I'm the gal in West Seattle Good luck and your appointments... and yes... please let me know how everything goes. I'm so excited for you too!

How cool is that?!?!!? Congrats on getting your date.... do you know which surgeon is doing it yet?

Hi ya'all.... I just found these boards... I'm gonna go back over the next few days and read this WHOLE thread..... looks like it started back in 2004 :omg: so, I've got some catchin up to do
