Surgery Date at UMass
I got my surgery date for March 16. I am using Dr. John Kelly at UMass, and have been really impressed with that program (just in case anyone is looking for a very good, thorough program!). I started this process in July and am thrilled my date is finally here, though I am glad the program is so thorough and makes sure you are completely prepared for the surgery.
I just wanted to wish you well...good luck with your surgery! I had Dr. Kelly for my surgery (April '04) . I had a LAP BAND and am doing very well. It takes time, don't try to rush the process! I still go to couseling with Dr. Kaplan which is so important. There are also alot of good books to read. I have suggestions if you want more information.
Good luck.
