thanks sourmissg, you are right, here is enough to be nervous about.

Great this is wonderful information. Did you have much trouble with the prop diet and losing enough weight. I'm just starting and very paranoid that I won't lose enough. Along with all my other fears of course. Thanks for replying. I can't wait to hear more.

Hello, count me in, I have a sept 27 appt. I am 41 and live in SE Ohio. I am being banded in Mexico and really want to have a support group. Lisa

Hello, I am really hoping to find a mentor and also buddies. I am 41, I live in Ohio. I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old. My family lives on 40 acres of forest in the middle of nowhere. I am a consultant that does Map making/ database work. I am scheduled to be banded on Sept 27 with Dr Ortiz in Mexico. I feel like it would be so useful to have a group that chats about issues. Also a mentor that is good at answering questions etc. Lisa

I have a Sept 27 date in Mexico. My insurance wouldn't pay, so I refinanced my house to get the 18,000 my Dr needed- then I couldn't get them to call me back for like 2.5 weeks or me calling ever day. In that time I got a little possessive of the money and couldn't' imagine giving it to people who don't even bother to call back. So I made and appt in Mexico and I can't wait. They've been so nice at occ and accommodating, and I have money left in case something goes wrong, which I was a little worried about. Anyway excited and nervous, especially about the preop diet I am starting this week. yikes, on so many accounts. It's also strange to start such a journey with a family, I feel like I'm being selfish with my kids. My husband is very supportive. But I do worry about something going wrong and being so far from home. Lisa

Can people who had lapband by Oritz, how long was it before you could fly home again. And did you feel comfortable.
