I'm starting to get really worried... my throat is starting to hurt, I have a bunch of mucus coming up, my nose is stuffy and I've just started coughing! :thumbup: What should I do to hurry up and get rid of this my surgery is August 21st?

Had my Pre-Op appointment today- that really calmed the nerves b/c I got all my questions answered. I start my Pre-Op diet of nothing but clear liquids on August 18th and at 5am on August 21st I check in for surgery!

Pre-op appointment tomorrow! Surgery is approaching fast(8/21/08) I'm starting to get really nervous...

No, April410. I haven't heard of that. Can anybody go on or do you need a pin?

Hey Everyone! I'm getting banded on August 21st in Denver, Co my mom is coming out from California a few days before my surgery and she was wondering if there were any seminars out in the Denver area between Saturday August 16th and Tuesday August 19th that she could attend. My doctor only holds them on the second Tuesday of each month so that's out of the question. If anybody know of anything in the Denver area between those dates it would be really appreciated! Thank You

How big of a band to you have? And if you don't mind me asking how many cc's was your first fill?

Thanks cutiew/booty!

No, no kids yet... just turned 21, still in school. Wow, that's good. So do you know what size band Dr. Metz is going to put in? Some people on here come out of surgery with a small fill... do you know if he's going to do a fill at the time of surgery?

So you've already done your pre-op right? If so was that when you went to the nutrition class?

Yea, I did my Psych Eval on 07/15 with Liz. I'm excited too! and sooo nervous. Well, I was thinking Gastric Bypass about a year and a half ago but, wasn't too serious (my mom really wanted me to do it) and since I moved to Colorado in January I needed a change for myself(not anybody else) so I guess since Feb.

Oh, ok. No, I haven't attended the nutrition class I think she said that would be on the 4th along with my pre-op appointment. I'm going to be faxing over my blood work to there office in a bout 5 minutes. All my blood work is 100% according to my primary doctor in California but, I'll see what they say. I live here in Denver but am originally from San Jose, Ca. I am a self pay. Where exactly are you driving down from?

Hey can anyone help me put that "August All-Stars" banner on the bottom of my messages?

atenciym: Thank you! Now a few of my worries are gone... the liquid diet is that for before or after surgery?

I have no idea what time surgery will be performed. This has all went so fast. My first appointment with Dr. Metz was July 15 and we scheduled my pre-op appoinmtnet for August 4th and surgery for August 21st. I have sooo many questions to ask on the 4th and am sure I will get all my questions answered then.

Pre-Op Appointment: August 4th Surgery: August 21st I'm excited but, at the same time I'm sooo nervous!

I was going to use Dr. Melniczek but got a phone call about 2 weeks ago that he was resigning and that he was referring all his patients to Dr. Metz at St. Luke's Hospital I will be banded on August 21, 2008 by Dr. Metz.

Have any of you been banded by a Dr. Matthew Metz at Presybetarian/St. Luke's Hospital in Denver, Co?? He will be banding me on August 21, 2008.

I just got approved yesterday and will be banded on August 21st! I was very excited and called my mom and grandma with the good news but, now it's settling in and I am soooo nervous.
