I sat on that website ALL DAY trying to hit the purchase button, I have no idea what is wrong with me. Today, I am happy, but in disbelief that it is actually official now.

I think a lot of us did the same thing, you're not alone in this. So when are you arriving? The 12th? I'll be there in the morning...hope to see you!

Curious, how many days are you taking off work? I was planning on going back on Tuesday...do you think that is too soon? I have a desk job so I was thinking it wouldn't be too bad.

I am arriving on the 12th at 9:45 am via Frontier Airlines. As far as work, it is kinda an odd situation, my mom and I own a furniture & clothing consignment store, so my schedule is kind of flexible. I am hoping to be back at work on Monday the 18th, but I will just be sitting, I have more than enough "paper style work" to take care of........... The only problem is, it is a furniture store and people have no regard sometimes, so my mom is making me wear a sign that says " I cannot lift anything, so dont ask me, I just had surgery!" HAHA

We will see how it goes : )

Are you a late departure on Saturday? My flight leaves at 6:55pm, and yes, I hope we can stay in our hotel room since technically we have it until the next day anyway.

As far as preop diets, my sheet says 7-14 days, what is everyone doing? 7, 10, 14? What determines how early you should start?

I'm just finishing up day 8 of 21 days... I have high BMI and I need to get it down under 49 before surgery date so I can avoid paying an extra thousand dollars. So I'm doing 21 days of the Protein drinks plus a lean and green meal then on Sunday prior to surgery they want me to take a laxative or two and be on clears until my surgery on Wednesday

I arrive at 10:20am from Orlando on Alaska Airlines on 3/12 and leave at 10:05pm 3/16. I just found out from alma that I can stay and rest in my room as long as I can before needed to be taken to the airport since i'm paying for the night anyway but goofed and booked the flight a day early.

I really need to figure out my work schedule and see if I'l be approved to use my ELB time off. I've got much to work on still...and the $$$ needs to be set up so i can just bring a cashiers check. I pray I dont have much scar tissue when they remove the lapband and have to pay even more than the additional $500. Boo...

My original date was the 18th.. but on Jan 30th my daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour. I postponed but her tumour was removed on Feb 5th and we found out it was benign so we are already home. My date is now the 20th can't wait!

My surgery date is March 22 with Garcia at MiHospital, looking forward to hearing about the "Garcias before me" updates and keeping in touch with all you March 2013 sleevers!!

Mine is on the 8th I will definitly keep you posted!

Dr.Aceves March 22. I have waivered back and forth between two Drs but this is it.

How do you respond to people when they show concerns about you going out of the country? I have only told a few of my family members as of right now. But I will have to tell more people soon.

I had my band in Mexico as well a few years ago. Honestly, I just explained how the surgeons had more experience and how much better the care was there. Then I figure, its my body, my life...if they dont like it, too bad
