I'm so excited! I'm scheduled for the lap-band in Great Falls, Montana. I live in Billings, so it's a 4 hour drive. Who cares! I'm just happy that I'm finally going to be a loser! Anyone else getting banded?

Nissah, gosh you have really had alot to deal with. That is just sad bout your wls being rescheduled over a month away. BUT... think of this, your body will be more prepared for the wls with all the blood tests at a safer level. YOu are so right that your mom is feeling and already seeing the changes in you and she offcourse will fill threatened with change in something that she is so connected to both physically and emotionally. I am so proud of you! sending you a big hug... Aunt Pam

Right on Nicole! I'm 6 days behind you with a date of Aug 16th... Affirming a terrific experience for ya! Hugs, K

Hiya Shannon! I'm August 16th and the nerves have started for me too! Spending so much time in a holding pattern, it seems surreal to be "on the way" definitively huh? Well Shannon, I'll be affirming a pain free, complication free experience for ya. Hugs, K

I have said this date so often lately. I will finally be heading over to the losers side. I had my first consult with my surgeons office on August 3, 2005. Exactly 1 year to the date that I started the process I will have surgery. Betz
