Assume that was intended for ncsumara, in Wa.? I believe her hospital is St. Francis, which I think is south of Seattle, north of Tacoma. Northern Idaho? wow. I have never known anyone who lived there. Has that always been your home? I am in Houston.

September 10th here! I'm SO ready!

I am going to TJ, Mexico. I am scared, anyone else going? My date is Sept. 17th.

I'm September 23. I just had my lapband and gallbladder removed yesterday. I surely hope the pain isn't as bad as this. I'm excited and nervous all in one!

Congratulations on starting this new lifestyle. TJ should be safe. Just don't take any valuables and don't be too flashy. You should be ok. We go out there often to do shopping and enjoy the food. We've never had any problems. Good luck darling!

Does anyone know or have a list of all the vitamins we'll need post op? Or is this something our doctor gives us because it may be different for everybody?

I really would wait on your Dr or Nut for this information you may need more of something or less of something than other people its always best to get the info straight from Dr but there really is some good advise on here.
