I, too, am having a revision from a VBG I had 22 years ago! Surgery is scheduled for June 2. I share the same fears, excitement, apprehension. Best of luck to everyone!

Topic: Another 6/1/09
Hi! I'm also scheduled for surgery on 6/1. I can't wait. So nervous and excited! I start my liquid diet on 5/18, so I have 8 full days of real food left (not that I'm counting or anything). Best of luck to all and I can't wait until we're on the loser's bench together.

Topic: new beginnings 6/3/09
Hello beautiful people,
Here I sat, browsing the web and stumbled upon this website where I am able to meet and greet people who are going thru the same things that I am. I am scheduled to have surgery on june 3rd and am excited, scared, and anxious to say the least. All I know and want to believe at this point is that : ITS A NEW BEGINNING !!!!!!!!!!!! I am ready to plant my feet firmly and do this. I like most need support. Tired of hearing negative thoughts of others, is why I have not told alot of people of my intentions. I would love to hear from those who are going thru the same things that I am so that we may rein together.
Peace

I am penciled in for June 4th.....crossing my fingers all goes well and stays for that date! I too have found it hard to find people to talk to on here because they all seem to have already exp the surgery and have "buddies". I was talking to my nut and he said that only 20% of the people with WLS will acomplish weight loss and keep it off without a support group (going to meetings etc.). It goes up to 88% with a support system. I am hoping that you all and this site will be my support system since the closest meeting group is an hour and a half away and I have five small children so it would be difficult to get up there! Good luck to us all!!!

HI~
My date is set for June 4th (penciled in, could change a little). I have not yet met with the surgeon. Things seem a little odd in my route. I am getting a lapband. They had me meet with the nut first, who thankfully passed me and did not say i was a lune, then this coming wens (13th) I meet with an internest, have labs, ekg, pfts, ect. Then on Friday the 15th I meet with my doc. They said my paperwork should go in on the 18th and by the 19th we should have a response from the insurance. I work for the hospital and they said it already has a medical ness. listed on me so I shouldn't be turned down. I will then start my liquids on the 20th......and surgery then on June 4th. So my whole time frame from start of the process to end shouldn't be more than 5 weeks. I guess I am lucky! I just pray everything stays in line and I have no bumps in the road!!
