So Im having my psych and Egd done on May 24th and Im really nervous about it. Is it going to hurt? Is the actual lapband surgery scheduled soon after that? Any banders in Arizona??

I'm from AZ! I was banded last Friday in Tempe

Congrats! How are you feeling? Are you going through "bandster hell"? I can't wait for my day!

I have Dr Orris too!!

Yay! I'm glad someone else has the same Dr.

I have my psych eval tomorrow. I believe after that is complete they will schedule my other appts. I'll post an update after my appt tomorrow.

jourdyn how are you feeling:? at last i heard from the dr. office Fri. and will be meeting with my doctor for the first visit. on June 12 cant wait. jourdyn i'm glad for you and i hope you are feeling ok and doing well.

I haven't been banded yet, my estimated date is Nov. still in the waiting like everyone else. i've been trying to diet since it's advised for 6 months. which stinks, but waiting patiently is hard for me. Goodluck June 12th! it's your first step to the lapband! yay!

i need updates! how did everyone's appt. go?

Hi Jourdyn-

I am officially on the other side!

Glad that part is over...actually wasn't too bad.

Now the fun begins. I have the pain in my left shoulder, trying the walking and gas x strips, but nothing yet.

My stomach feels like I got into a fight and got a few sucker punches to my gut- and I lost. LOL

Got about 4 hour sleep, anesthesia wires me vs there are those who are knocked out!

Keep u posted
