Hello!! I'm Charity, I'm 22, a pediatric RN from St. Louis, currently in school as a Biology/PreMed major. Grew up in PA, but relocated here a few years ago. I've got a fantastic boyfriend who's going with me to Denver to have my surgery (Dr. Kirshenbaum). I have five siblings and am the third oldest, and the only chubby one! Can't WAIT to start my new life!:tongue:

Bea! I'm having surgery on 4/16 too! :thumbup: Good luck!

Is anyone else getting ridiculously exciting? I can't even wait. I keep thinking - one month from today and I'll be starting a whole new chapter of my life. One month from today it'll all be over (surgery-wise!) and I'll be home and starting my new life!

Good morning all! I'm being banded on April 16 in Denver CO. I'm a self-pay. I'll be heading from St. Louis to Denver on April 15 and will be spending the afternoon driving around (my flight gets in at 0730 and my appointment for pre-op isn't until 4:10!) and finding things to do. The next day, my surgery is scheduled at 11:00 a.m. Will anyone else be out at Dr. Kirshenbaum's those days? I am SO excited!

Hi! I"m Charity, I'm 22 and also from St Louis! My lapband is scheduled for 4/16 in Denver with Dr. Kirshenbaum. If you'd like I'd love to meet someone from the area who's having/had it done! Moral support and all, you know! PS - I'm going back to school in the fall, where did you go? -
Hi! My name is Charity, I'm a 22 year old pediatric RN. I'm going to be banded by Dr. Kirshenbaum on 4/16/08. I can't WAIT! It's going to be a bit of a trip, but my boyfriend is going with me. So excited!

Nice to "meet" you. What are you thinking of doing about work? I've got lots of help, so I'm sure I won't have to lift, but my surgery date is a Wednesday and I'm thinking of going back to work on Thursday of the following week. I can't afford to take any more time than that - I'll have only been at my job for a month and a half once I have the surgery. I feel bad just asking for the time!

Whirlwind Experience

Congrats! I did the same thing - I recently decided to look into it, now I've got my funding, my pre-op date, and my surgery date. My boyfriend and I are going to book our hotel and flight tonight (Going to Denver to Dr. Kirshenbaum's office!). It's happening to quickly...I can't believe it! I can't wait! My BMI is 41, and I'm ready to really work. Good luck!
