I am looking at mid month , if all goes well :-) Lets keep each other up to date!

August 18th - Monterrey, Mexico....Dr. Zappata

Is everyone getting excited?

August is just around the corner!

I'm starting my protein-shakes twice a day next week, anyone else?

Aug 10, Dr Richardson St Louis MO!!

My surgery date is Aug. 17th. Dr. Fusco is my surgeon-Melbourne, Fl. I just have to do pre surgery bloodwork and ekg.

Aug 4!!

I started the liquid diet yesterday and so far so good. Although tonight I experienced my first case of nerves. All of a sudden I thought, "OMG, I'm really doing this. I'm going to have this device in me forever." Then I thought, yes I am and it's no different then a knee replacment to help someone walk. Just like knee pain keeps someone from fully living life and hurts them, the weight hurts me and keeps me from living life to the fullest. This calmed me down and put things in prespective.

Wish me luck!

I am scheduled for August 5th, as I eat a bowl of neopolitan ice cream. i hope i can do this....

August 11th! Dr. Kurian at NYU Medical Center!

I hope to have an Aug. date!! I have been considering LapBand for about a year... But because of finances have never been able to have it. Well, due to my PTC and CHiari, I have met my yearly max and my insurance has to pay 100%! THe catch is, my calendar year starts over Sept. 1. So, I have to get approved, pre-oped and banded by then! My docator says he can make it all happen, so long as the insurance doesn't drag their feet! So here's hopin'!

My surgery date is August 13th, I also work in a modified school calendar year and we are already backto school. I am excited also but afraid in the same breath. I have been thinking about how many days I will have to be off work. I was shooting for July but ended up with Aug. I am just so happy to be getting this done.

just joined this site today and my surgery is set for August 27th.
