Well here I am, one week before surgery. I am getting my lap band at New England Medical Center in Boston. They have a great program, which I am happy to say is covered by my insurance (Harvard Pilgrim). They have a 6 week behavior modification program, you meet with a psychologist twice, nutritionist twice and they have a monthly post op program. So believe me when I tell you I am ready. I am so excited!!! I wish it were tomorrow. My doctor doesnt have us fast pre-surgery. But I am really carefull about what I eat. I didnt lost 10% of my weight, but I have lost some. What has everybody done to make the last week go by faster. I do work 2 jobs so that part will go by fast!!

Just thought I would check in.

Congrats! I know you are excited. I am almost 7 LOOONG weeks away from my surgery. I'll bet it's that last week that creeps along. Keep us posted on your progress and let us know when you are home and all went well. Good Luck!

Thank you!!

Your date will be here before you know it!!!

Patty

Me too! My date is Monday, the 28th and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! Like you, my doc did not require fasting before surgery. We should keep in touch and compare notes!

Hey Daisy! You found another 28th! You were looking for a friend...there ya go!

Nicole,

We can be surgery buddies!!!

What time is your surgery? I have to be there at 6:30 am. I probably wont sleep well the night before.

Patty
