Hello all. I am scheduled for this thursday, aug 21. I was scheduled for March, but my creep of an X husband dropped my insurance without telling me. My new hubby is fantastic and I feel so blessed now. Anyway, I was told I would have to wait for the main Dr in this practice , Kowalski, but if I wanted to speed it up, I could use Dr. Patel. I met him and he was nice, but so darn young. I asked him his age, He said 34, I asked how many bands has he done, he said about 100. I am going for it anyway! I want it done. Please everyone, wish me luck and keep me in your thoughts on thursday! Thanks! xo:rolleyes:

my doctor is old and i was his like 20th lapband surgery so don't stress

I had my lapband put in on thursday the 21st of august! I feel great except for the gas pains in the left shoulder. Everyone should be prepared for that. The no one in the medical field warned me about the gas pains, but plenty of people in here talked about them.

Other than that, I feel good. I sometimes think of food, then I quickly think of how I am going to buy "regular" clothes in a regular store. I have never done that in my life, even as a child I wore "chubby" sizes. I am glad I had this surgery done and I am looking forward to a better future!

thats great, glad to hear your doing well.
