Hi folks,

well I have done all the preliminary visits and will finally meet iwth the doctor. It i a 3 hr appt that I have been told will end with my date being set. The process was a little backwards as I have not even had a consultation with the doctor, I had to see the psychairist and nutrionist before I could get to see the doctor. I am nervous, but so excited. It has taken me a long time to get to this point in my life where I am ready to do it. My husband, although very supportive, is not thrilled about me having surgery and a friends husband just (within the last 2 wks) had surgery and had many complications including 2 days in ICU, so that has really made him not happy.

but enough about what is flying through my head, any suggestions on questions I should ask?

Thanks for listening and being here

What were ur friends complications??

the band was too small and nothing was going down at all. HIs doc went on vacation and he went 5 days like this before they saw him and decided they had to replace his band with a bigger one. During the second surgery, he had a liver complication and was very sick. He is now home and trying to regain his strength
