Howdy all!! My name is Shelly. I just found out that not only has my insurance approved my LapBand surgery, but that I have my pre-op appointment January 8th!

I couldn't be more excited!!!:biggrin:

I am 41, married, with 2 children. I have been overweight since I had my first child, and after the birth of my second little one, the weight just piled on.

I have tried every diet out there, even the really crazy ones, and haven't had much success. I am really hoping that by having this surgery, I will finally have the tools I need to become the person I want to be!

Must admit, I am a little nervous however! :thumbup:

Anyway, glad to be here!

Happy Holidays!

Shelly

Hi Shelly I am also very anxious and my preop appointment is Jan. 6th. My surgery date is January 26th. I am a nervous wreck but also excited. If you want to talk or compare life stories let me know! Take care and good luck!

Hi Karen!! :thumbup:

Nice to meet ya!

You've got to let me know how your appt goes!!

I have tons of questions, and I am sure I will forget half of them by the time I actually see the doctor!

(Memo to me: start writing them down! LOL!)

I am always here to chat, would love to have someone to talk to who is going through the same thing I am.

One minute I am excited as heck to get started, and the next I am scared to death!! Hope that's normal! :biggrin:

Take care!!

Hugs,

Shelly

Hi Shelli and Celi my name is Tammy and my pre-op apt is Jan 5th with my surgery on Feb 2nd. I to am excited as ever and can't wait for my new life to begin. I've read just about everything on this site and it has all been so informative and helpful. We can do this together.... Tam

Hi Tammy! Nice to meet ya!

Congrats on getting your date!!

I've been reading thru all of the pre-op posts tonight.

I'm wondering if my doc will have me on liquids for a month or 2 weeks.....

Actually, knowing my luck, it'll be a month! :lol

Hi there,

I'm super nervous, too! Doesn't help that I have anxiety to begin with! I will be banded Dec.30th- ready to start the New Year with my New Tummy!

Good luck all!
