9/21/2009! That is my date for change! I will be having it done at Parma General outside Cleve. Kaiser Insurance here. It's strange I do not feel nervous! I'm really excited. I am so tired of losing weight only to gain it all back...mark

Well, just finished my 6th month of nutrition pre-op and now have the date to meet up Aug. 26th with the surgeon at Kaisers Parma Medical Center! YaHoo!

So glad to here you started! One of the first things that I was concerned with was if I lost too much weight prior to lap banding, I would be dropped! I was reasured I wouldn't! Good luck to ya! Mark!

Hi! I'm new here too! I also am with Kaiser but in another state. I started in March 09 and was told it is a 6 mos. program. During this period I am required to lose 10% of my beginning weight. Each month I consult with Kaiser's nutritionist. I have also during this time had a sleep study done (found I have sleep apnea), stress test, various blood work and met with Kaiser's behavioral health person. I also am required to attend a support group meeting too. I found that very helpful! I learned talking to the post ops! I also suffer from joint pain, and my primary care doctor put me on 6 oz. of black cherry juice and a prescription of mobic. I'm currently not having any pain! I also exceeded my 10% weight loss by 16lb. So, like other posts here get going with the program! It is designed to help you. If you have joint pain get help from your primary care doc! My 6mos is over in Aug! And I must say time does fly! Stay focus! You get what you give! Mark!
