I'm a newcomer and learning as much as I can absorb! My lapband surgery date is set for April 19th and happily joining me to have the same surgery the same day is my sister-n-law! :thumbup: WE can really support each other and I am looking forward to that relationship with her. My Dad is scheduled for his on May 28th. :thumbup: He is staying in Atlanta for his with insurance paying, but we girls are flying to Mexico for an adventure! :scared2: I will begin the pre-diet on the 12th, and praying for a flight that is easy on an empty stomach, we will fly out on the morning of the surgery and go straight to the hospital for the testing and procedure. Prayers are all I need and God will bless us both! :redface: Let me know what I might expect if you have been through this stage. :wink:

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on having a date -- you must be getting so excited, it's right around the corner.

Wow! You really do have a built in support system! You girls will probably have quite the adventure in Mexico.LOL Good luck to all three of you!

Good for you. Where are you going in Mexico? I went to Monterrey. It was wonderful. The Drs. were great. They came and checked on me everyday. The flight home was not bad. Get an extender from the flight attendent. Check before you go about where you are going to get a fill. I have to drive 5 hours because no one here will tough me because I had surgery out of the country.
