  1. Hi - I am having my surgery on Sept 30th. I am doing the liquid diet now. My surgery will be done in Boston at Boston Medical Center - early in the morning. How are you doing? Are you nervous, excited, scared? I am a little of all 3. I will keep you in my prayers. Peace, LauraSue
  2. Hi Bel, My name is Laurasue. I live near Boston in Massachusetts, USA. I am 49 yrs old - mother of two, 20 yr old daughter adn 11 year old son. I have been married for 24 years. My husband is a stay at home dad. I have gone through the process and am currently scheduled for surgery on Sept 30th. I am nervous about the length of time but think I will try to start my new way of eating - liquids etc. Please let me know how you are doing with your depression. I suffer as well. I hope you can be my mentor. Please let me know - my person emal address is laurasreynolds@hotmail.com. Peace Bel, Laurasue
  3. Hi Kimberlyp508 - Keep it up - you have a few more days then you are on your way to better health. I am thinking of starting a liquid diet as well - my surgery is not until the end of Septmber. You have come this far - keep your eye on the prize. Peace - Laurasue
  4. Hi - I am having my surgery at Boston Medical Center. I needed to wait for the appropriate time from work. I am glad to have the date scheduled. As I read more and more I become more confident. For those who are having surgery before me - I will keep you in my prayers. My bigest issue now is to try and develop my new eating habits before I definately have to.... I want to get uswed to it. Thank you for your posts. Peace, Laurasue
  5. Hello All, I am LauraSue - living near Boston with a surgery date of 9/30. My surgeon is Dr. Hess and I am nervous about life with the lapband. I appreciate any post on your experience post surgery and after. Thank you.
  6. Hello Valerie - I am new to this forum and not yet banded - I have my surgery date of 9/30. I have fought over the idea of messing with God's plan for me. I continue to wonder if this is the way to go.
