Hello there! I am new to the site and scheduled for surgery next week. I had a question and wanted to introduce myself first. I am really looking forward to the surgery and wanted to get some experiences from others on what to expect. I am not real familiar with the forum and I am thinking I need to go over to pre op and ask my question so I am headed there now! Hope to hear from someone. Have a great night!

Ask away AzGirl---we will try to help!

Ask away!

Thank you for the welcome, this site has been very useful.

AzGirl-I am scheduled for the 17th. When next week is yours?

Hello Angeleyes, I am scheduled for the 16th. Where are you located? I cant believe how quickly it has come up. This site has been helpful, I am making a list of the things everyone recommends and going to go get everything Monday so I am all set! Oh yes, and I am doing laundry like a madwoman today:whoo:How long since your decision to have the procedure to surgery date?

Hi Rhonda, I am also very new. This whole thing has moved very quickly for me I had my initial evauluation on July 30th, my surgeon visit is scheduled for August 14th and my surgery date is scheduled for August 16th. So I am planning for surgery but havent had my surgeon visit yet. My best friend had the lap band done about four years ago so I am pretty familiar with her experiences and I was looking for more information and this site has been great. I hope you get the information you are looking for this seems like the right place to start.

Welcome to bandland. Good luck with your surgery. Donna

My ticker will not update. Can anyone tell me what is wrong???? Donna

AzGirl - I am located in Ohio. I am having the band done in Cincinnati. I have been researching weight loss alternatives for well over a year and have researched the band extensively. Actually I had my consult two weeks ago, my psych visit, and a seminar and decided to go ahead. Having hard time with pro-op diet. Stomach hurts and everything going right through me if you know what I mean. I too am going this week to stock up. I am hoping to be ready ready ready!
