Has there been anyone that has died from having the lap band surgery? Also I had hernia surgery done almost 2 years ago and now I have mesh in keeping everything in place. Do you think they will do the surgery with having that?
Topic: May God be with us --
I have surgery tomorrow along with several others of you. May God be with us through the prep, surgery and recovery. May he be with our surgeons, nurses, medical staffs and families. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives. A rebirth process if you will. I pray that God watch over and keep us all safe and healthy. Wishing you all a speedy recovery and much weight loss! GOOD LUCK!!!

Healthygirl2b,
I will be praying for you, for your plans to succeed, and especially for your surgery.
My surgery is scheduled for Monday, February 18. I am a little anxious as well. I just heard about this website (wish I had heard sooner). I haev been so busy researching everything about my gastric bypass that I didn't even think about a medical power of attorney or a living will and now I feel a bit of panic and can't wait til morning to call someone.
From what I understand it is only natural to feel a bit nervous and scared. I have 3 friends who had the lap band surgery in the last year and they all came through with flyng colors.
Your daughter is so fortunate to have a mother who cares about her the way you do.
Take Care,
Carla (onajourney46)

Hi Doirinne
I did the same thing making sure that my life insurance was intact and I had the person being my son who it would go to. Also talking with all my family letting them know of my wishes if the worst happens. My son and his daughter mean the world to me. And I just want to be sure that they are taken care of. My surgery is Thursday really early in the morning so it is as if I have just one more day. My prayers will be with you and your daughter and just know that everything will be ok.

P.S Dont be sad but I know I cant say anything to make you not to worry.. Just pray my dear it does seem to soothe away alot of the worries it has for me.
email me back if you need to talk I should be home by Saturday [email protected]

Did you have this paper notarized or was it done by a lawyer? Signed by witnesses? I have heard a million things from million different sources. I am hoping to get something formalized before surgery by one of 2 lawyers I know personally. Just alot to dump on an attorney last minute, doesn't give much time to prepare. But as long as it's done, I will feel sooo much better, relieved that my daughter will be taken care of by people who love her; and someone responsible who will look out for her best interest with regard to her social security benefits, if the need arises.......
Good luck on your surgery. All the best to you.
thanks for the reply

Hello, my surgery is day after tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous but not really scared. I made a living will and Medical power of attorney myself -- sounds like we are just being prepared for our families sakes -- it's not morbid to be prepared. BEST OF LUCK with your surgery!!
