Hi everyone!

I am in the middle of the process now, all the preop appointments. My surgery is scheduled for 4-2-07 and I can't wait. I had to plan it around spring break at work. I am nervous, but looking forward to turning 40 this summer, with a new lease on life. :clap2: I am hoping to hear from people who have had the surgery. So far, in the support group, it was all gastric bypass people. Thanks and I look forward to more talk!

Hi Kity!

Welcome ... I have not had the surgery yet, but i can totally relate to the excitement!

hehe

Welcome to the site Kity. I just turned 40 too. Being banded gave me a new lease on life as it will you. Congrats on the surgery date and let us know your progress.

What part are you in? I'm in Bakersfield.

HELLO and welcome!

Hi Kity, what part of CA are you from? I'm from Norther CA and have a great surgeon up here. Best of luck to you.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the welcomes. Couple people asked where in Cali I am...Palm Springs. I look forward to learning more about the Lap Band from you all. I will have many questions as my date nears...April 3! Thanks again for your warm welcomes. Keep em coming!

Hi Kity! Congratulations on your surgery date. I had to go through all the tests and procedures before I got my date ( which is January 30th). Anyway, welcome to the site. It is full of great information and lots of support. Keep us posted. Gigi

Hey Kity...I'm in Redlands and hoping to do my surgery during spring break also...being a teacher, gotta plan these things. I'm waiting on insurance, so hopefully it'll work out. Keep in touch...I too am going to be 39 w/this surgery and hope things move upward.
