I love looking through all these pictures!! I can't wait to be able to post my own, you guys are doing great!

I was actually wondering about the whole birth control thing. I read on someone's post that they had to stop BC for a month before? I am wondering what my doctor is going to say... :tt1:

#1. Surgery date? February 22, 2010 #2. State you live in? Oregon #3. Doctor/Surgery Center? Dr. Ortiz at OCC in Tijuana! #4. Insurance or self pay? Self Pay.. my insurance doesn't cover it. #5. Age and height 5'7", 27 on January 31.. #6. Current weight and goal weight? 263 and I don't know... gonna talk to Dr. Miranda and see what she thinks.. #7. What was your deciding factor for having this surgery? I need help with this.. can't seem to do it alone. #7. Do you have the support of family and friends? Yes! #8. Concerns and questions? Not currently... I ask and ask and ask when I do, though.

Yay! Congrats, I go in February 22, right behind you!

Hey Janelle, we have the same name and spell it the same, too. :tt2: My date is February 22!!!! SO Excited!!

GOOD LUCK!! I just now scheduled my surgery date for February 22... now I am stuck waiting all that time!

While I agree research is important, I don't think months and months of research is always necessary. My insurance doesn't cover this surgery so it is all out of pocket. It took me about a month before I scheduled mine and feel fairly comfortable with the research I have done thus far.

Hello, I haven't had my band put in yet but have read a TON about it. Here is my question: what happens if I get sick (from the flu or something normal) and throw up? How will this work when I have a lap band in?
