I am new to all of this...I have my pre-op appointments this week. Hope to have a surgery date in a few weeks. I am excited to get my life back.

Hi there, KJN! Welcome to our forums. You will find great advice, friendship and information here. If you have any questions, just ask.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision.

I hope you get your date soon.

A whole new life awaits you!

Good Luck!! I can't wait to compare notes.

hello KJN and welcome. i am on the same track as you!!! i just finished my pre-op testing. i start my pre-op diet this monday!! im really excited about this!!! my banding date in 8/6/09 yay!!! keep us up to date on what's going on with you!

I finished with pre-screening this week. Now it is a waiting process for the pysch to get their report in. That can take 10 days or so. If I have the go ahead then a meeting with the dr. and dietitian and a surgery date! I am soooo excited.

Congrats on getting all of your pre-op testing finished! I remember when I finished it, I just felt such relief that they were over (there were so many tests!) and we could get on with the process!! Good luck, and let us know how everything turns out and when your date is!
