Zydecoking, please join us. It is a lot of fun. Time goes by so quickly. It's nice to have others to talk to about this process. Hope to see you there. PLC

Guys, my doctor hasn't put me on a pre-op diet. I'm scheduled for Aug 27th but since reading on the forum, I've put myself on a high protein low carb. That won't hurt, will it?

I live 2 blocks from Micro Soft. I've lived in Houston all my life except for a short stay in San Antonio. Houston is great and living off the Sam Houston beltway makes getting around the city very easy. San Antonio's traffic is 24/7, not so in Houston. Summers are hot in both places in july and Aug. The people in Houston are great and the neighbors really try to be friendly. Hope this helps

Carey, I'm from Houston and I've also lived in San Antonio. Do you have children, school age? I can tell you what part of town to live in for safety

Hi guys, is this group open to those who are scheduled? I'm going in on the 27th but have a real need to talk to people who have already had it done. I don't live far from Los Tios so if it would be OK, I would love to meet you all. PLC

where is West Houston Support link? can't find it. I'm new to this web site so I'm most likely doing something wrong "user Problems"

OK, the way I see it ... he cares about you and the family and you care about the family. So, everyones heart is in the right place. Now, just try to get everyones brain going in the same direction. I'm a therapist so my sugestions will be somewhat psychobabblish but for what it's worth... To ease the stress let your husband know what and how much you are eating, cal, fat, etc... give him as much info as you can. Explain to him what you are doing to ensure that you are not "starving". The kids need this info also. Spend time talking to everyone about healthy diets, explain that although you are cutting back you are having to choose healthy when you do eat. Everyone has to talk about their fears or this can snowball into a real big issue.

hey Kacee, I see you had your band done by dr. spivak. I'm scheduled for 8/27/07 and I'm really scared. I don't know what to really expect. Everyone talks about being too full, how do you know how much to put in? I match your profile 226 and would like to get down to 150 but I don't want to be miserable. I wish there was a book that would help me get prepared and what to expect. PLC

I'm just starting to seriously look into doing LAP-BAND. I'm going to Dr. Spivak's on Wed. Can anyone tell me what the process pre surgery? How long does this process take before you can have the surgery? thanks, PLC
