O.K. I am trying something and I do not know if it will work but I have created a spread sheet that we can go in and update via a form. We can try it but I can not promise it will work. I listed all those that have posted on this thread and the dates they said their surgery was going to be. I can always add folks to it. I have attached the link here. Bookmark for future use. APRIL AVENGERS 08!! You may have to have a log-in to a google account. I also may need you to send me your e-mail so you can have priviledges this this ??? O.K. I tried it and it looks like you will need to have a google account which is easy to set up. Good Luck. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...ycNCaJXg&hl=en This is just the "viewable" version: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=peCCLrLaqJpfIS9ycNCaJXg

List of Surgery Dates Not sure if this is the best way to start a surgery date post, but we can try. Copy/Paste the ENTIRE LAST post into your post, add your name next to the date of your surgery and repost it for the next person.

Turler, I think it would be great to have a list / spread sheet so we could keep track of one another and our jouney with tracking wt. loss for those who want to also do this part.

Cadence, Since I am a RN I will try and predict that it should only take 1 and no more than 2 hours to get your testing done. In all reality your lab draw should take no more than 5 minutes, urine sample 5 minutes, x-ray 10-15 minutes, and pulmonary testing shouldn't take much longer than that. However, I do not know how long they may make you wait and so on. If it is streamlined you should be out of there quick and efficiently! Good Luck!

Cinnimae, I am paying 7500 as well! Our docs are not in the same hospital. Dr. Ortiz owns his own surgical center. Look up obesitycontrolcenter.com and you will see picture of it. There are several band surgeons in TJ. I wish you all the luck and keep in touch. I'll add you to my "buddy list"!

Alicia, I am going to Mexico on April 3rd as well! However I am going to Dr. Ortiz inTJ. Good luck to you and keep in touch! We seem to be getting a great April group together!

I am being banded on April 3rd. I am self pay and am going to Mexico. Dr. Ariel Ortiz is going to be doing my surgery. I also have two friends going at the same time to be done. We are very excited and patiently waiting. Only one month from today! Getting ready to start my preop diet so hope that all goes well. Good luck to all April bandsters! Gina :drool:
