makingchanges4me... thanks for the note. We are on the same path definitely. I am scheduled for surgery on August 4 & 5 in San Antonio. I heard of a support group that meets monthly in north Austin in Walnut Creek area. I'm in Round Rock, what about you? Stay in touch!

good luck to you! My surgery is in August and I can't wait to be on the other side.

I love this topic too! I'm 55 and scheduled for surgery in August. I love reading these posts, so full of helpful info and experiences. Let's keep it going.

Haven't had the WLS yet, but I have had gall bladder surgery. and the pain was a lot more than just achey. It was downright excruciating. So yours doesn't sound like gall bladder. maybe it's the port sight?

Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it.

I'm 55 and about to have my lap band surgery in a month. It may have taken a while for me to get here, but I'm glad I finally did.

Thanks for the help. right now I have a week scheduled so that sounds about right.

Having my surgery in August. Not sure how long to ask off for. I do mainly office work and sit all day. What would you recommend? Thanks!

What an insightful, helpful article. Thank you.

Stay strong girl! It's tough when everybody celebrates everything with food!!! I know! Just remember that nothing tastes as good as being at a healthy weight feels.

How awful for you. I hate unprofessional, poorly trained staff. I'm sorry you had to go thru that. Good for you for standing up for yourself and writing a letter.

Yes going thru True Results. Can wait to get it done and start my weight loss journey. I'm going to San Antonio to for the lap band.

Hey plopez, I see your Dr. is Esquivel. That's mine too. I have the surgery in August. How did you like him?

My surgery is in August and I can't hardly wait. Reading all the good news here about how successful people are. It's very encouraging and hopeful. Soon I will be among the people able to relate my journey after WLS. Cheers!

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for ya!

My hubby was a little reluctant too. I just made up my mind and didn't waver or bicker. This is what I need for me and my health and nothing is going to change my mind. My surgery isn't till August , so he and my family have a lot of time to voice their opinions. I'm just so dead set on it that I won't let them sway me off of it. I'm excited and can't wait to have the surgery and start on my new life.

My surgery is scheduled for August. Seems like forever, I can't wait to start my new life. I'm enjoying reading all about everyone's experiences on here. It really helps me know what to expect post-surgery.
