Hi everyone, I am doing this rather backwards as I have already posted questions not realizing there is actually a way of properly doing this - oops!

I am going to be booking my band procedure with Dr. Ortiz (my gal pal is also getting it done with me - I am trying to get her on here!) for early September. I wish I didn't have to wait so long but a new position at work means I have to delay it a bit. I am psyched and ready to go now but...I am sure September will be here before I know it. In the meantime I will try to continue to educate myself and prepare myself.

I am really concerned about getting through the endless pre-op diet...I am a real emtional eater so this I am sure will be the biggest challenge for me ever!

Congratulations to all of you and your amazing success! You are truly an inspiration and I am so happy to know I have so many "sisters and brothers" in band land! I am sure you will all be extremely invaluable once I begin the hard work!

Cheers and happy to meet you all!

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on deciding to be banded. Every doctor don't require a pre-op diet so you might not have to do one. If you do, you'll be fine. Good Luck!

I new as well. I have my consultation with my surgeon today. My ins requires me to wit 6 month.

Where is Alberta are you. I was born in Calgary, and live there off on on till I was 13, then moved to Texas!
