I am so excited...and nervous...I'm being banded March 14. Would love to see who else is being banded this month, where you are from, and who's doing your banding!

A new program is being started here in Jacksonville, Florida at St. Vincent's Hospital by Dr. Herrera & Dr. Chappano. Dr. Jerrera did lap-band in Maine. I will be his first here. Since there are so many members on this site I was wondering if anyone had their's done by Dr. Herrera. He was really nice, easy to talk to. My surgery is March 14th. I'm nervous...kinda...I think...

My dietician gave me a sample of vitamins especially made for people having weight loss surgery. They're called Optisource. You can get them at Walgreen's or order them from the Walgreen's website. A little pricy I think, but then I really didn't compare the price to Centrum chewable. You take 4 of them a day. They have an orange flavor...not bad...very doable.
