Well, my surgery (lap band) is scheduled for next monday sept. 19. I'm looking forward to a new me. Will everyone say a prayer for me. Thanks and God Bless.

By the way, I'm having my surgery at CentraState Hospital in Freehold New Jersey. Dr. Noyan and Washington will be doing the surgery.

I wish you a successful surgery & a speedy recovery!

You'll do great.

Thank you Dolfin, when did you get banded and where?

Good Luck! Mi Madre is a Garden State Girl, y'all seem pretty tough, so I'm sure everything will go fantasticly!

Glo....Congratulations and good luck! You are about to begin the most wonderful journey of your life. I've been asked if I'd do it over again and I tell them I'd have surgery on a daily basis to keep my band! Once again, good luck!

Glo, My Surgery Is At Muhlenberg Hospital In Plainfield. Yes I Am Scared But Also Soooooooo Excited To Have It Done. Whatever It Is I Have To Deal With Afterwards (pain) I'm Sure It Will Be All Worth It:) Please Let Me Know How Everything Goes With Your Surgery. How Are You Doing With Your Pre-op Diet?

Iam at my wits end! this afternnoon my hospital centra state called me to get me registered for my lap band surgery scheduled for Monday 9-19. One hour later, my doctors office called to say that my surgeon was leaving the practise tomorrow, and that would I like to reschedule for Sept 26 with his partner. I have been unemployed for 8 weeks, finally got a job and was scheduled to start working on the 29th. Now I have to call my new employer to ask if I can start work one week later. I'm so frustated, I don't know what to do with myself. How can a doctor just decide to quit, leaving all of us who have appointments in the dark? Why wouldn't he call us to inform us himself ? It's unthinkable and the receptionist really didn't have any answers, she said she was as surprised as I was. Now what??? Help, pray for me and for all the other patients who were scheduled with me and after me, could this be a sign??????scarey stuff.

Vanesa, I could just vomit from the week that I have had. Now my surgery is postponed one week because my doctor decided that he is going to quit! Tomorrow!, I just met with him last week for my preop appointment and eveything was fine. What a disappointment, If I want to have surgery I will have to have it done with his partner on the 26th, what am I going to do, I want to get this done so that I can move on with my life!!!!!

I hope you are having better luck. Keep me posted and God Bless

Glo, I Am Sorry To Hear About Your Situation. That Is Kinda Unprofessional To Let You Know A Few Days Before Your Surgery That He Is Leaving The Practice, But Don't Let That Stop You, If You Can, Go Ahead And Reschedule For The Following Date. If You Feel Like I Feel, I'm Pretty Sure You Will Reschedule. I Can't Wait To Be Banded And I'm Sure You Feel The Same Way. I Wish You Lots Of Luck On Your Journey And Hope To See You On The Banded Side Of The World, Soooooonnnnnn!!!!!!keep In Touch:)

Thanks Vanesa, I will go ahead and have it done on the 26th, meanwhile, you go girl and do you! May God bless you and let me know who you do immediately after your surgery on Monday. Please say a prayer for me.

Well everybody, my doctor is leaving his practice tomorrow and so I won't be having my surgery on MOnday after all. His partner will be doing it on MOnday the 2th one week later. How unprofessional. All of us scheduled for the surgery on the 19th will just have to wait and hopefully his partner knows what to do!!!!

So all of you who sent me prayers for Monday, can I ask you to say prayers for me again that everything will go smoothly for the 26th for me and all the other poor people who have been inconvenienced. Thank you all in advance for your prayers and support. With God all things are possible.

correction, typo, not the 2nd it's the 26th of september
