I also had lap band surgery on July 22, 2003. I feel great, and I've lost 21 pounds since then (today is August 14). I'm moving to soft foods next week. I've been tolerating things fine, haven't had anything come back up. I hope it stays that way into the next phase. I had a great experience also- surgery at 8:00 am, out at 9:15, left the hospital the next day at 2:00pm.

I was supposed to have my surgery on July 31st and it had to be postponed. My PCP was sooooo idiotic that she didn't "realize" that I needed to have a psyc eval, so it hasn't been done yet. Of course I can't have the surgery until I do, so Fountain Valley is being so understanding and helping me with getting the eval and setting it up for the same day that I will finally get to meet Dr. Ali. Sorry for not letting everyone know sooner but I moved and didn't have internet for the last 3 weeks. Thanks to everyone with their well wishes. I do appreciate it.

Dr Stellato, who is my surgeon set a date for me to have my gastric bypass on July 29, 03 and they post-poned it because, they were worried about my Lungs being in shape for the surgery. They have not contacted me lately and I am using my Cpap every night but I hate the machine. I want to hurry up and have my surgery. I want to begin my new life, and I feel Like i have been delayed.

I'm really queasy. Sometimes I don't have enough water and am a little dehydrated. Sometimes I need to eat. Other times, I'm just yucky all over everywhere. I was told that's normal and should go away by month three. Annie
