I have my pre-op consultation tomorrow at noon and surgery Thursday at 7:00 am. I am in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in the hotel that belongs to the hospital. We came a day early due to a blizzard warning. I've worked a long time to get this done and I was not going to let some snow stop me.

My wife is more worried than I am... LOL but I don't get too worked up about much. I always joked that if the end of the world comes I will be sitting in my lawn chair with a beverage enjoying the show.

Good Luck and keep us posted...See ya on the other side....

Best wishes on your consult and surgery tomorrow! Glad to hear you are not worried, you are making an awesome choice. If I can say that only 5 days post op Let us know how you make out? Cheers!!

Thanks everyone... I feel a little strange knowing its only hours away. Its been a long journey of visiting specialists, taking tests and seeing dietitians in order to satisfy insurance requirements. I am so looking forward to feeling better. This morning I could barely get up due to my arthritis and extra weight. I am so looking forward to being able to exercise. Getting all this weight off my joints is going to help so much

I know lap band is a tool and I plan on using it to become a healthy person. I don't want to just lose weight or be skinny, I want to be healthy.
