Going To Need A Lot Of Support

Im getting my band on Monday aug 6th. Happy cant wait. But I will be the first for my Dr. I'm fine with that because now we have someone in our town that can help. But he only understands the books. I have learned so much on here I didn't know and I'm thankful for it. Thank you all

    I assume you mean you will be the first for your GP rather than your surgeon? I think I am the first for my GP. She has been really supportive but I am sure she has learned more from me about the band, living with the band etc than I have from her! That's why it is so important to maintain an ongoing relationship with my surgeon.

    Good luck.

    Are you going to be the first patient he's ever operated on?!

    There has to be a first patient for everyone. You should receive a lot of special individualized care. That's got to be cool.
