I just found out I never got approval for my respiratory. I have to see why. Im getting frustrated. I just want to have my surgery. Does anyone know how long out it is to schedule surgery for Dr. Joyce? I know it has to be at least 2 weeks. What all do you have to do?

Do not panic! Did they tell you that you have to go back and see the pulmonologist? If not just call him/ her and ask them to send the release to Dr. Joyce. Ask them when they will be sending it.

Each doctor you saw had to send a release for you, maybe they didn't send it or it could have gotten mixed up with someone elses paperwork.

It will happen quickly!

Has anyone had to deal with nonsupport husbands?

Yeah.....non supportive boyfriend...he doesn't like the whole surgery idea..we've only been together since feb. but i explained to him this is for me...In the past, I was never able to live for me..this is a new life..ive made so many changes in my life. If I don't take care of me who will?

It'll all work out.

I told my b/f you might not always be around, but unless I do something, my fat will be.

Im so excited :cry_smile: I finally got my surg. date 10-21-08. I start my pre-op diet on the 6th the day after my birthday. My new birthday will be Oct. 21. The only bad news is they told me I have to pay $300 by the 15th for classes and a year to there gym.:thumbup: My DH is not happy seeing how he doesnt want me to do this anyway and now I have to pay more money. I told him to think of how much money I spent on diets that didn't work and to think of it as cheaper on more diets I would have tried and failed. This all just makes me want to try that much harder to succeed.

I have just been scheduled for October 7th at Silver Cross Hospital, Dr. Brian Lahmann. I am told that he and Dr. Joyce do surgery together. I am nervous and excited. My pre-op class is September 22nd. Anyone else going to that class?

I was suppose to have surgery on Oct. 7 but my DH will be out of town for the first two weeks of Oct.

I have to ask has anyone had a problem with eating more since they started? I seem to be hungry or just wanting to be putting something in my mouth the closer and closer I get to getting my lap band. I don't know if its nerves or psychological mind craziness. I seem to be eating until Im uncomfortable. Maybe I know after the lap band I won't be able to eat this stuff but the weight is coming back on.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
