Hi all! I am so excited about my surgery coming up on 11/2/07. My doctor is Dr. Felix Spiegel. Currently I am 224 lbs. and I can not wait for that number to drop down.

I am getting banded on 11/1/07 and I am 228lbs...from an original 235lbs (lost during the diet) although I did not follow the diet strickly.

Kudos to you. I too cannot wait for the band.

O.k, so I registered now and I am feeling like part of the family here on this wonderful, and educational, and very informative website that I read almost everyday!!....... I am scheduled for L.B surgery on Monday, January 7th 2008 ( The soonest they could get me in ) and I will be going through Dr.Peter LePort's smart dimensions weight loss center in Orange County, CA!! Yeah!! Best Wishes to EveryOne!!

Solaa5,

We are pretty close in weight and age. I would like to keep in touch to see how you do with surgery and vise versa. I am in Texas and going to Dr. Spiegel. He is great and I am so excited. Good luck to you!
