I would mention it. My Dr asked if I had any questions but I was so overwhelmed that I didn't say anything. I wish I had. I take a lot of Meds and some may be a problem so I asked my Pharmasist. :-) I am scheduled for Sept 17, trying to sift through all the info. Good Luck Debbie

Thank you so much, I haven't talked to many who have had the band. I went to a seminar but they really went into the bypass surgery. I know it is slow, my PCP says that is the best. Heck, I have been obease for 30 years, what is a little longer......... Slow is good, healthy and slow.

I dont know if I am more afraid of the unknown surgery or the known - death. I know that if I don't do something I will have complications from being overweight - excuse me - morbily obease. This forum is so overwhelming, I am just not sure where to go. Just have to get my head shrunk (my PCP says piece of cake) and a thred mill heart test. Now I fear something will show there.

So much to learn, so much to do, so much to gain (loose) I took my Daughter shopping for clothes. Went with her into the dressing room, 3 huge mirrors. I looked up and caught my reflection. That on top of the health issues, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Fatty Liver, asthma and feet and joint pain. But I took the plung. I am not comfortable in this type of forum, but I know that my success depends on it. Any suggestions. My surgery date Sept 17. I have already lost 10 pounds, I just have to loose a little more and keep it off before surgery.
