Is anyone being banded in May? My surgery date is May 3rd. I am starting to get a little nervous, but I know this is the best decision I have ever made! Any tips or suggestions for pre-op and post-op from all welcomed!!

jennifermccourt,

Welcome!! I am having my surgery May 18th too...we are twins!! This site is amazing, you will love it! I have found a magnitude of support and information. I am excited, nervous, anxious, doubtful and everything in between! Who is doing your LB? I am having Dr. Kirshenbaum in Colorado do mine and I am a self payer (I hate the sound of that $$). Anywhooo, welcome and I'll be looking foward to seeing you around!

My surgery is scheduled on May 23rd at NWWLS with Dr. Kevin Montgomery. I'm self pay...weeellll, technically my mom is a self pay but I have to pay for it. Haha. Thank god for moms with good credit. I agree with alot of people it feels like it's still a dream...hasn't really sunk in yet. I'm REALLY nervous about my port showing...mostly because I am so young and don't have ANY stretch marks...no joke i have like half of one and its white, so I think my skin will bounce back just fine and I sooo don't want people askign me why I look like I have a tumor on my tummy.

May 4th here in OH.

I will be banded on May 21st also with Dr Schneider at BIDMC!! It seems like so long to wait but it will give me time to lose a few pounds first. I am like and emotional rollercoaster. I am not having second thoughts but I go from scared to excited and everything in between!!!
