  3. Hey Debi, How funny, cause I too was suppose to be banded in June, June 5th actually. I had to reschedule because I hurt my back and had to take alot of time off from work. I sure my work would have not been happy with me being off more time. I was so bummed that I had to delay it!!!! I'm getting banded with Dr. Francis from Dr. Leports office. Yeah the staff is really cool there. Have you gone for your one on one yet and have you purchased the Optima for your liquid diet. I did, but I wonder if there is a different diet that we can have other than those shakes for two weeks.
  4. YEAH!!!!!!!!! We have the same days!!!!! I'm having my done in Orange County California with Dr. Francis. I'm so excited and can't wait!!! Where are you having yours done?

  12. Yeah!!!!!!!!!! I'm right there with ya girl!!! I have mine June 5th! I'm so excited, yet so scared at the same time!
  13. How Funny Apple, you just described me and i had not really thought about that before as being overly nice to compensate for my size. I really do think its my nature though and that I will continue to be nice once I slim down. Good Post!! Thanks!
  14. Hi all, I was just told I have a date of June 5th! I'm so excited and so scared at the same time. I must have thought about calling everything off about 4 times today!! But the fact is, is that I really need the band. I'm 6 feet tall and weight 381 pounds. I am pre-diabetic and have been under going D & C's every 6 months as well as Progestrone treatment as a means of preventing my pre-uterine cancer from progressing to full cancer. My doctors have told me that everything would improve if I was to just loose the weight. Also too, I really want to have a baby or two. Did any of you go through this wishy washy prior to your surgery?
  15. Hi there!! Thanks so much for posting this question, I too have 200+ to lose. i have just been approved for my surgery and currently waiting to get scheduled for a date. It has been really comforting to read your replies and hear your success stories!!! Thanks Again Guys!!
