It's my regular psych doctor. They want his approval. Good luck to you Hun.

I got denied for my psych eval. I'll find out this Tuesday if he will clear me. Unlike you guys, I have to have clearance from everyone and have everything done in order to get a date. Which is a bummer.

I have my psych eval at the end of this month and hopefully will be scheduled for December. So far on the nutritionists diet I've lost 10lbs. Are you guys required to be on a special diet before your pre op liquid diet like me?

Should be scheduled for the beginning of November soon. I'll find out around the 21st of October.

Finishing my paper work and going to be sleeved at the end of October or the beginning if November. Anyone else having surgery around the beginning of November?

Gas x big time, slippers, favorite blanket, magazines or crocheting things, pjs for the amount of time you'll be there, tooth brush, paste, socks, under cloths, hair brush, before picture taken.

I had the lap band in 2007 and was terrified! For my family and children mainly. But after I had the surgery, I had no pain where my incisions were and the day after I started having this enormous pressure in my shoulders. It's started to turn to stabbing pain. And it turned out it was all gas from surgery. I highly recommended you bringing gas x when you go. How many days are you staying in the hospital? I stayed 3 days and the kept me as drugged up as I needed to be. I was Abel to walk the same day of surgery and was pain free. But please bring the gas x. Hope this helps.

Hat are done excersizes that I could do when I hurt my ankle while just walking? I had it X-ray and it wasn't broken. But it won't stop hurting when I put any kind of pressure on it. I've been doing the bicycle and weight lifting but I was wondering if there were other options other than that and swimming.

I know the feeling. I'm a stay at home mom and all three of my boys just started school back up so now I can consentrate on myself.

Wow lucky you! Congrats!

Sounds like my pre-op diet. Are you on the firstline therapy diet plan? I'm hoping to have my surgery at the end of October/ November.

I lost 50 before the lap band and another 50 after but gained 40 back sence it slipped. Hopping to have surgery to fix it soon.

I'm from Springfield ma. Had the lap band done in 2007 and it slipped and there's a leak so now I'm getting the sleeve. I had doctor Romanelli and Cheryl as well. But now I'm going to mercy hospital, they have a more personalized program. How much weight have you lost? I'm due to have my surgery in October or November.

Oh thank you! Great ideas. Yes she did say I could have peanut butter n celery. :-)

Thanks for that
