Hi!

This is my first time here. A friend recommended it. I get my lapband on Monday, Oct 25th. I live in Michigan and have Dr. Zoe Deol. I can't wait for it, yet pray I won't fail - again. My family is very supportive, yet afraid something will go wrong. I believe in prayer and that gives me strength.

I've heard great things about Dr. Deol! Best of luck to you on the beginning of your "new life"! You won't fail! Yes, prayer does give you strength! Sending (((hugs))) and prayers to you for an uneventful surgery and minimum pain recovery. We look forward to getting to know you better here.

Thank you, Marie. I appreciate your kindness.

Congratulations. I am happy for you. I am new to the board too. My surgery is scheduled for November 30 and I am excited and somewhat scared too.

I found so much helpful information as you search and read historical posts. The personal experience and insight is invaluable as we newbies prepare for our new life. I have so appreciated all these people and feel already like they are friends; I know you will gain strength and knowledge from these posts too.

Please keep us posted on your recovery and your journey to health and renewed energy. God bless you. Terry

Lucky you! I WAS scheduled for Nov 18, but since I'm the 1st to be banded in my area, experienced, (I hope very) are being flown in to assist my dr. They couldn't make the 18th so it's been moved to Dec 6th. Quite a bummer, I am so ready and psyched, or I was. Stay in touch...Pat in VA

Good Luck with your surgery, I was banded last Monday. It will be over before you know it. Please post and let us know how you are doing. Read some of the old posts, it will make your banding experience a whole lot easier.

Good luck with your surgery. You will not fail as long as you work with your band. Coming to the boards for support is the best thing you can do to help you succeed.

i get my initial fill on 10/25 too. i'll pray for use. kaylee

Dr. Deol is the most awesome Dr. She is very thorough and will do a great job!

Good Luck
