Topic: RE: -4 Days until Surgery
Hi Robin,
You will do great! I got some last minute jitters, too. I think it's only normal! Yes, I was worried about the surgery, but I think I was far more worried about whether or not the surgery would work, would I feel the band, etc? 4 months later I can honestly say that it is BY FAR the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have lost about 43 pounds and I feel 1000 times better!
My big advice would be to have patience! First, just concentrate on heeling and getting your band settled. The weight will come off and you start to notice so many changes. But, the weight doesn't pour off like some other procedures.
Feel free to ask any other questions you might have this weekend and be sure to et us know how you are feeling next week! I'll be sure to check the CT board a few times this weekend, just in case.
Enjoy the beautiful weekend and look forward to your exciting new journey!

Topic: -4 Days until Surgery
Hi Everyone,
I am 4 days away from having lap band surgery with Dr Barba. I am looking forward to starting my journey. Right now, I think I have prepared well, however, the last minute doubts about if I have prepared as much as I could have are starting to sneak in.
I was wondering if anyone has any last minute words of wisdom.
Thanks,
Robin

I saw the cardiologist last week and I got the green light to try to preggers. I get to start trying next month. I am excited and trying to mentally figure out where to put things and what to move out.

Can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon in CT? I am planning to have surgery and have no idea how to go about finding a reputable surgeon.

Topic: RE: Pregnancy after RNY
You and your husband are in my thoughts! Hopefully the cardiologist gives you the "baby green light"! I went to my second support group tonight (I was actually just about to write a blog on it.)
Pretty disappointed again.
I may have to go elsewhere.
Keep my posted on the situation..I wish you the best of luck!!
Jessieyou might want to check out the hartford hospital support group. There have been several people who have made comments on here such as yours who have said they felt they prefered the HH group meetings. I don't have the schedule with me (and i'm posting from my cell phone so i can't easily look it up) but i can post it later if you were so interested.
