I have been prequalified for the lap band surgery and was originally set for 6/12/08 but I cancelled because I felt I was not informed enough. I even considered going to another surgeon, who has told me that he will not do the band on anyone with a BMI over 45. This rejection led me to LBT and I have so happy with the information that I have gotten from all the various post and forums.

I am very anxious and want to schedule the surgery asap. I was never put on a pre-op diet and that has been my basic concern.

Wish me luck. :Angel_anim:

Good luck, travelLady!

I am from Altadena a lil ubove Pasadena so does that count, later on I moved to Pasadena attended school and just plain oh hung out in Pasadena I love it!!!

Thanks for the well wishes. I now have my band dateOct 13 and I can hardly wait. I going to make major changes and in fact I actually went into a gym today, to check it out.

Hi Boopie:

Good to hear from you, yes I really like the Pasadena/Altadena area. In fact, I have lived in Asia, Africa and traveled all over the world, came back to sleepy Pasadena. :thumbup: My kind of place.

Have you been banded yet? My band date is Oct 13 at Huntington Hosp.

NOpe no banding just yet, it looks as if I may have a long road ahead of me. My insurance is through Kaiser, and they require this long drawn out 6 month pre op diet and extras. So Im waiting now to be called for the seminar/orientation. I did all labs yesterday, so its just a matter of time. Time that Ill be taking into my own hands by the end of the day(Im gonna call them myself). And then I guess Im off for the race yay...:crying:. Step by step, baby steps at that.....
