Topic: RE: i was cancelled
I am a firm believer in "things happen for a reason" Don't think of this as a set back. Think how set back you really would have been had your lungs collapsed during surgery or worse. You were blessed not set back. Keep positive. Two weeks is nothing.
Treat yourself to one last favorite meal. LOL.
Topic: RE: Got Surgery Date...becoming Scared now
Hi Diana
If you are anything like me the time before the surgery is the worst what with all the doubts and insecurities. After the surgery, everything is great.
Good luck and take care

Hi Dottie
I found the last few days prior to surgery the worst. You have a lot insecurities, doubts etc. I went out and bought a new housecoat for the hospital and tried to do some quality "me" time stuff.
Good luck on Wednesday, my prayers are with you. May you have a safe surgery and an uneventful and pain free recovery.

Topic: RE: i was cancelled
OMG, Christi
I don't know what I would have done if they had done that to me. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I hope you have someone to help you get through this set back. Everyone has second and third thoughts (and more) going into surgery, at least I know I did. Even after the surgery, I was having second thoughts. My prayers are with you. Please do not let this get you down.
Take care,
Di

Oh No, Lauren
I hope you feel okay now. I haven't had a dumping syndrome yet, however, I did drink my protein a little too fast and did not feel too good for a while. Okay, now thou.
Hope you got it figured out.
Take care,
Di

Hi, I am a new member. I am seriously considering a trip to Costa Rica for Lapband since my insurance does not cover the costs. I am in contact with Medical Tourism Co. , rep. Sheila Komiko. I'm looking for someone to vouch for this company and the whole Costa Rican process. Any info anybody can pass along would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Christine

I had a near dumping experience from drinking a protein shake too much too fast. I did not get sick, but I thought I was goign to die. Not cool.
