  1. Hi, I was banded on 5-20-08 & have had no nausea or bloating problems at all
  2. I am the 2nd lap band operation set for Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at Beaumont, Texas, Christus St. Elizabeth Bariatric Center; my surgeon is Dr. Kevin Dean. A control freak, my greatest fear is being knocked out. If they could just keep me conscious while the operation proceeds, I think I would feel less nervous. Height: 5 feet 9 inches; Current Weight: 251 lbs.; Weight When the Center started trying to get Aetna to approve my surgery: 281 lbs. Goal Weight: 160 lbs. Lowest Adult Weight in the Past: 148 lbs. Good luck and best wishes to all my May 2008 Lap Band sisters and brothers.
