Your post is exactly why I chose to take this journey. My surgery is on the 18th and I can't wait start this new part of my life.

I am being banded on August 18th and I am also excited and nervous. I have never had any kind of surgery before.

LOL I guess the title could go both ways huh? I didn't even realize that. No I don't absolutely need her here although she thinks that yes I do. My fiance was planning on taking a couple of days off when we find out when my surgery is so he could be with me. My mother tends to want to take charge of everything. God bless her she just can't help it. Well I guess I will just wait and see what the doctors schedule looks like. If it is when she is out of town then so be it.

Hey I'm just sitting here waiting for my doctors office to call me back. My mother is really annoying me because she is going out of town in July and wants me to schedule everything around that. I have no idea what the doctors office is going to schedule. Do they have a limited number of slots? What if the only time they offer is while my mother is out of town? I really do not want to put it off just for that. I don't know. What do you guys think? Am I being a brat? I'm 30 years old I should be able to have my surgery whenever I want right? lol

I also just received my approval letter. I'm actually waiting for the doctors office to call me back. I left a message this morning. I am very excited but I also have no idea what to expect. I guess it's a nervous excitement. lol

I just found out that my surgery was approved by my insurance. Now I am just waiting for my doctors office to call me and schedule the surgery. I am both excited and terrified. Any words of wisdom for me??

Hi, I am going through UTMB also. At the end of this month I go for my 4th dietitian visit. I am getting excite and nervous. I've never had any kind of surgery and I just don't know what to expect. At what point did they schedule your appointment? Was it after your final visit? Thanks Devon

The surgeon that I met with is Dr. Gomez. He seems very nice. Thanks for your reply. I will definatly keep in touch. Devon

Hello. I am going through the UTMB Center for Weight Management for the lab band surgery. I had my first appointment with the dietition and I met the surgeon before the Christmas holiday. Would you mind telling me alittle bit about you experience with them? My second appointment is on January 26th and this all doesn't feel real yet. I'm still nervous about this decision and I just don't know what you expect. The surgeon thinks that I will be able to have the procedure done in May or June. Anyway, anything you can share with me would be helpful. Thanks, Devon

Hi! I am attending the informational seminar on 11/20 at the UTMB Medical Weight Loss Clinic. Has anyone used them? Thanks Devon :thumbup:
