Topic: RE: November 7 is my date.
Hello Tabbatha. My surgery date is Nov. 7 also. I am having lap band done and am really looking forward to shedding some of this excess baggage and feeling better in general. My pre-op appointment is on Oct. 31 and the surgeon I am using does the pre-op instruction in a group setting for all those having surgery the following week. I am looking forward to meeting some other folks who will be traveling the same path and would like to stay connected here, too. Having been a nurse for many years, I have seen people in really bad shape come through surgery without a hitch, so don't worry too much and just have faith that everything will come out for the best.

Topic: RE: November Surgery Date Support
Hi- Definately!~ I could sure use someone else to talk to . I agree with you- family and friends don't understand what I went through to get here, or why I need to do this. I really am POSITIVE about my choice, I am confident with my surgeon and his team. On the other hand, maybe my hubby is just tired of me always talking about the surgery, spending all my free time on this site and my emotional state or happy, sad, crying (over anything-but it doesn't help that I am also pms'ing) I just want to be on the 'other' side. Which surgery are you having? I'm not sure if I said in my post or not- I am having open gastric - not lap band. Please add me to your list of friends and I'll do the same. Lets just take these next few days one at a time, as they come... remember to breath and enjoy this time with our families and friends. Our new beginning will come along shortly.! thanks again- lets talk again soon!

Topic: LAPBAND Nov 5th Can we talk?
Hello and thankyou for clicking on me and sharing some of your time. I understand the excitement as I too now have a date on November 5th for Lap-band! I start the shakes this Monday Oct. 29th. I am looking for some wonderful friends to share this experience with. I'll be having my surgery at Harper Hospital in Det. MI. I feel so lucky to be where I am at this stage of the journey because I really didn't think it was possible for me to get this surgery but the stars have aligned. I am committed to making this work and also to be there for you too....just let me know who you are.
