mini me

Hello fellow colleague, I am doing well, I lost 16 pounds the first week but things have leveled off now. Do you work in Rochester, Jacksonville or Scottsdale?

My surgery date is November 18th, I am excited that so many others are having their surgeries in November, talk about a support group!

Believe it or not Mayo does not require a "pre-op" diet as far as I know. I see my dietician tomorrow, I will write more then!

Thanks, for your well wishes everyone, I will be on quite often to compare notes and trade recipe and recovery "tips"

Hello, I am a 40 year old Mom of 2, I have been trying to lose weight for almost 20 years, I work at Mayo Cinic and they require you to show that you can lose weight before they will recommend you for bariatric surgery. I went to weight wathchers and lost 35 pounds, they have now given me the choice of RNY or Lapband, I chose Lap band, it seems so much more "controllable". I started at 270 and I am not 235, I can't wait to get this done and get back on the road to the new "Mini Me":thumbup:

This is my first post also, I am getting banded on 11/18. I am sure that everything will go wonderful. This is a very exciting time in our lives! Good luck!
