That would be an awesome Christmas present. I'm going to want by boobs put back where they belong. After nursing 2 kids and eventually losing all this weight I figure they will be down to my belly button :thumbup:

I worry about several things. 1. What if it doesn't work for me? Failure again. 2. Reaction from others. (I keep telling myself I'm not doing it for them) 3. What about extra skin when I lose all this weight?

Thanks for the info. I guess waiting a little on the front end to save major pain and problems later is worth it. They said it could be part of why I have acid relux now, I just haven't any pain like I hear other people talking about. I guess that's a good thing.

Sue I will definitely let you know how everything goes if I have it done before the 17th. If I don't, you'll have to let me know what to expect and how yours went!

Thanks. I know it's for the best. It's just I waited, debated, went back and forth about getting the band and I'm finally confortable with my decision and ready and now I have to wait. I wish they could do them at the same time but they are worried about infections causing problems with the band.

:sad:Just wondering if anyone else has run into this. I have (had) a band date of 4/23 and as part of pre surgery tests they did a gallbladder ultrasound. Well, mine came back that I have gallstones and I have to have my gallbladder taken out before I can have the band put in. I have to wait 4-6 weeks after the gallbladder is removed before they will put the lap band in. I see the surgeon tomorrow about the gallbladder. His PA said the gallbladder surgery will be within the next two weeks (I'll have a definite date tomorrow) so my band surgery will be moved to mid to late May. I know this is for the best but it's just to frustrating. I just wanted to sit and cry when I found out.

I'm new here and I'm looking for advice, guidance, words of wisdom, support.....I have a surgery date scheduled for 4/23 and since I found out two weeks ago I can't seem to stop eating. I'm eating more than ever. Maybe I think I need to eat everything I love now because I won't be able to after. Has anyone else gone through this?:confused2:
