Hi All, Just got my surgery date yesterday for DVR at GBMC for lap band. Going to support group on 11/29. Don

Congrats on getting a date! The next general support group at DVR's office is on Wed 11/15/06 at 6pm. Theme is going to be holiday eating and recipes with Sloan. And the holiday party is Dec 6th Unless its your pre-op class or they have some other type of support group for banders on the 29th- I suggest you confirm the next support group date with Cherie at the COMP office at 443-849-3779 so you don't miss out on the group Karen

Thanks. It is my pre-op class. I checked the message. Thanks. Did you have a Lap Band. How long ago was your surgery? Don

I had the RNY about 9 months ago. I hear the pre-op class has been "beefed up" a bit since i took it. More presenters- including pastoral care staff. Good luck

Congratulations on getting a date. I wish you much success in your journey! I am currently waiting to hear is my insurance approves the WLS. If I get the surgery I will have Dr. Von Reuben also. Can you tell me what you think of him? Take care Cira

Thanks for writing Cira, So far so good. He seems nice. I am pleased thus far. I am wishing the date was sooner. Don

You're welcome! Trust me it feels like a long time from now but when you come to see it will be here in no time. Keep us posted how everything goes with you. I love to hear about everything since I am very new here. Take care Cira
