Being banded by Dr. Pompa in TJ on March 07. Nervous also but, excited.

Hey Lisa how much weight have you lost since April?

Hi Zetagal, I know what you mean about being nervous/excited. I started to bite my nails and I haven't done that in 10 years. That was a habit I could break unlike this weight issue of mine. Seems I have alot of stress and tension too. I wonder if this is the norm for pre banded folks?

It probably is. Nervous to leave our old life and excited about our new life.

I'm getting banded on 3/18 by Dr. Ortiz, so nervous but so excited!

Hi -

i'm getting banded 2/28 in Juarez by Dr. Rodriguez at Hospital Angeles. The hospital is just a few months old and is supposed to be awesome, from what I have heard. You will find lots and lots of great information on this site. I am nervous, yes, but excited to start this new journey in my life.

I'm getting banded on March 17th, a day before you, Dr. Ortiz. Gee, I'm equally nervous and excited!

Hi, I am going to Mexicali, March 7th. I am so excited I can't hardly sleep. Dr. Aceves is my Dr of choice.

I've prepared for everything, I went and picked out the cutiest pajama set, cute fuzzy slipper socks for the hospital, and of course all of the yummy liquids etc....for the first few weeks.

Anyone else going to Mexicali, Dr. Aceves March 7th?

Congrats everyone on getting banded! WLS is the BEST! You get your life back.

me too! I arrive on the 6th, procedure on the 7th! Nina has been great, emailing almost every day when i first was checking into it. and when i called, right away she knew who i was, how is that for personable. when i call to make a regular dr appt in the states, i have to give all my info, ss#, birthdate, etc. its like a credit check, but nina knew who i was, i like that. i'm so excited to begin my new life!
