Hi Joan-


Welcome to the site. I,too, am preop and waiting for a surgery date. I am glad you found the Co. message board and hope to hear from you often.

                                                                                  Take care.....Kim

I see you are from Florence, that is a cute little town, I live streight up 115 close to the broadmore.
 Where are you having your surgery done?? GB or lapband?? I am having the lapband in denver. the dr. here wouldn't do my surgery, they said I am too old. !!
 Funny, I don't feel old. LOL.

I have decided to go with Co Surgical grp so the Springs Penrose hospital is where its happening. I am doing RNY due to the amt I have to lose..hope to go lap and not open. Too Old for surgery? Crazy! If you want info on the surgical group--let me know. I go to my seminar this Monday so hopefully I will get a surgery date in the next 3 months. Hugs! Kim

had my surgery there a year ago, my RNY went from lap to open. Yeah I didn't want that to ever happen either - slwoer recovery. But this far out I don't think it matters all that much.  Best of luck
