Hey. I just had my endo on 6/8 let me tell you i didn't feel a thing but i WAS SCARED AS HELL LOL!!! I even starting crying before i went into the OR. Anyways, I have my sleep study 6/25 and my consult with DR kwon on 7/11/2005 so i am hoping by august to have surgery, I am going on a mini vacation in the beginning of aug so i am hoping to push like the second week of aug.. Kristen

Hey porclndoll, The meeting was good, There was about 30+ people there, Alot more pre-ops this time including myself and my sister. The dietician was suppose to come but never did (marti is hoping for next time)..We just discussed food, Etc.. It was nice!

No i will be @ the meeting in Goshen, Ny for Dr Kwon's Group.

Hey Everyone! I will see you all 6/6 at the meeting, Porcndoll, Its True and your welcome, I can't wait to be on the loosing side...I used to belong to curves. But because of the odd hours i stopped going, If i could find one that was open after 8pm i would go. But hey maybe someday! Well Got to get back to work. Have a wonderful Hump day!!

I am young (21) i have been overweight my whole life..So i hope that when i get banded and loose the weight that it wl def pro-long my life. There is so much i want to do..The healther you become the longer the life should be..I hope.

Hey! I had my first seminar with dr kwons office 4/28/2005. I have had alot of appts between then and now But the remaining appts->I have my upper GI, fasting blood work and dietician on 5/31/2005. 6/8/2005 i have my endoscopy..and then i don't have my sleep test til 6/25/2005. So not that long..If i was able to get my sleep test sooner i probably could be done faster. So depending on what u have to do, and how far the appts are set apart i would say time frame of 1-3 months? Kristen

Barb, I am soooo happy that you are going to use Dr Kwon, As from porclndoll there is alot of peeps on here that use him, I am almost done with all my pre-op appts! He is wonderful! Porclndoll i saw @ our last support meeting with the pysch and she looks wonderful for just being out of surgery..Good Luck keep us posted!

Hey Barb, Sorry i haven't used your doctor, I am using Dr kwon out of port Jervis, Just wanted to welcome you to this board!!

Congrads on the baby, He is soooo Adorable! Truly a success story and this just proves the band is better!!! Thanks and best wishes Kristen
