Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your input. I did research other Dr.s and found that I liked Dr. Malley and his staff better than the other 2 Dr.s I went to. I thought his mandatory orientation was very helpful and informative. Dr. Malley was really great every time I meet him and I felt very comfortable with him. His nurses and staff have been great in answering all my questions. Thanks again!

I am doing the same thing! I have been doing what I call the "Farewell to food tour"! It seems I am eating all kinds of stuff thinking that I will not ever have it again. I know this in not healthy but I think I just need to go through the motions! I am glad I am not alone!

Hey everyone! I just found this blog and I am a fellow northlander too. I live in Richmond, MO and I am being banding on Nov. 18th by Dr. Malley. If you do have a support group I would love to get the information. I would love to talk with/meet some fellow banders a littler closer to home. Let me know! PS: Any banders who had Dr. Malley as a surgeron please let me know what you think of him and his staff? Did you have a great experience? ETC! Thanks! lego

Just got my approval and surgery is set Nov. 18th. Very nervous, excited, hopeful and anxious!!! This process so far has gone smoothly and quickly. I have to start a pre-op diet of Protein shakes and a ww dinner two weeks before surgery. Does anyone have any suggestions on the shakes? I have read different things about them. Right now my only fear is the pre & post op diets. If anyone has any words of advice I would love to hear it. :smile::thumbup::rolleyes2::thumbdown:
