Hi there! My name is Nikkee and my lapband surgery is set for May 13th, 2005 (Yuck friday the 13th!). Dr. Hilario Juarez will be performing my surgery in Phoenix, AZ. I am grateful for this forum because you all have given me the insight that I need to know before and after surgery and what to expect over time. I'm kinda nervous, but all and all I am very excited and ready to start my life anew.

She's not yet out of surgery. She didnt go in for surgery until 12 or 1 p.m PST but, I will keep you guys posted. She should be out soon though!

How Is She Doing?????

Hey! Just logged back on to tell you all she is doing good! Surgery is over, she is just in the recovery room, until they move her to her room. She will be staying over night. She is alert, talking, and doing great! Thanks for the support.

p.s. when she gets home and feels like typing, I will let her type her experience to you guys!
