So we've had quite a bit of interest in getting together.  How about December 6 around 10AM somewhere off I-70??  Or another location if anybody can think of something? 

I'm looking forward to meeting so many of you!!   If we could get some kind of count a day or two before, that would be helpful!!

Any thoughts..

Even though technically there wasn't a 'fast track' program at least that I was aware of it went fast for me.   I had my consult on May 14th and before that I had gotten my pulmonary and psych and bloodwork done so he had the results at that appt.  I just made appts with the docs on his webpage.  All I needed was a cardio then and I had surgery on June 5th and even was gone 10 days on a cruise in between there.  Of course when you are waiting for the surgery it seems like an eternity but hindsight it was fast. 
Thanks for the kind words.  And good luck to you.  Keep me posted!

Ok I remember you now. You look beautiful! We just scheduled our consult appt today. Was thinking that we could get in around the middle of Dec. Yeah that didn't work out. He is booked out until Jan.28th!! We were shocked but that just shows how fabulous he is as a surgeon, doctor and man. We are getting to see him on the 28th of Jan. and are going to be going through his fast track program hopefully. We will have the psych eval, and pulmonary test done before hand so hopefully we can have surgery in Feb. That is our hope anyway. Again, my wish for you is that I hope you know what an inspiration you were to my husband and I and others. We are going to another conference on Dec.13th with Dr.Snyder just because we can always learn more or even hear the same thing but we might retain something else this time that might have slipped by last. We are soo excited to get going and on to our healthy lives. We are also hoping that sometime after our surgery that we can be up on panel too to help encourage others as you have done.

Aww shucks, thanks Rafting!    Have you had your consult appt yet?  surgery date???  At that panel I was the only female that had lap band surgery and I spoke right after the guy who just had surgery a few days before that.  I sat next to him and had a black/white top on with black jeans. 

Woo-Hood we are getting action on the  Colorado board!  There really are people in
colorado to talk to.   "o)  I still love the LapBand board.
