:)I'm new to the site and am having surgery end of January/first of February. Just starting my journey to getting my life back. Is anyone else just beginning? Waiting to hear from you.

Hello Trod, that is very exciting!!! I hope to know something this coming Friday I have an appointment with the surgeon (1st.) I hope to make Jan. or Feb. Please keep me updated *sigh* hope I will be right behind you.

Trodd,

Greetings from NC! Good luck and have a great surgery.

I'm "just beginning", also...

I will hopefully find out my surgery date this week...probably sometime in February!!

Here's to us being healthier and happier in 2008!!

I just got my date and approval. January 30!!!!! I'm so ready!!!

I am not new, but Welcome to the site. Donna

This is my very first posting ever! I just had my surgery on Jan 11, 2008 so I am still in the recovery stages. I'm on clear liquids and have been surprised at how very weak I have been feeling, just no energy at all. I'm really looking forward to the creamy liquids diet!

Good Luck!

hey, im in SC, and my date is Jan 30th as well..good luck to you!

I have signed up for the mandatory info session on 2/19 then i can make the appt with the DR. then the nutrition class & the psychological consultation as well as the pre-op tests so hopefully i'll be banded in march I have already checked with my insurance co & it's covered 100% I can't wait to get healthy!
