Topic: RE: Another February Bander!
Hey how you doing? Have been so busy haven't had a chance to respond. I had my sleep study and got woken up by the guy sawing wood in the next room then it took forever for me to sleep but they told me I had "severe" sleep apnea so I go back this weekend for the mask thing. What fun. Ok, if it helps me I'll do it. I will be getting all the lab stuff, an upper GI and other fun stuff January 23rd. After that, well my last pre-op appointment then next week my date. Somethimes when you drink some serious water the night before (they usually ask you not to eat or drink after midnight) so then your veins don't have a fit when you get stuck because you got some blood volume. So I will drink the night before, and I hopefully won't have the problem you had.
I have been dreaming of smaller sizes too. Heck, I'd like to get into my smaller fat clothes. I won't need to buy anything until oh, about size 18. So I won't be shopping too much. However, I did go to Catherines Plus Size store because I needed new pj's to wear to the sleep study ; mine are all long T-shirts. Anyway the girl at the counter ask me if I wanted to open a credit card or rewards card with them and I said,
"No way! I'm getting surgery next month and I hope to never have to buy clothes here again! Not that you all aren't nice ladies and all! No Thanks."
To be able to have at least some reasonable expectation of buying non-plus size clothes for REAL? PRICELESS!

Topic: Also new to forum with a date
Hi all. My name is Marsha. I am going to Mexico to have my surgery on Feb 9th. I am ready, but nervous. Are there any people living near Spokane who have the lap band? I REALLY want to get set up with a doctor before I go for follow-up and am not sure who to contact. I live north of Spokane. Thanks!
Topic: RE: RNY scheduled - 27 Feb
Hi Vanessa,
Congrats on your surgery date!! I've read that some surgeons don't require the 2-week liquid protein diet. I know it is going to be hard but....if it will help to shrink my liver out of the way to make the surgery easier & safer--I'm all for it!! 
I don't have a lot of folks saying "don't have it".....they just comment about not looking wrinkled, saggy, or pale. I figure if I have a lot of loose skin, I'll give myself an early 50th birthday present and have plastic surgery! 
As we have the same date, perhaps we can keep in touch?

My surgery is scheduled for 2/27 too! I find it interesting that my surgeon has not said anything yet about the liquid diet two weeks before surgery, however, I have an appointment next week which is my last before surgery. So I might get the info then. I am soooooo excited and nervous and tired of hearing about why I shouldn't have the surgery! I cannot wait for that day! :-)

I am new to the boards/site and have found it very informative and am interested in seeing how it goes for everyone. I think having the support of others going through the same thing at almost the same time is awesome!
