Just Waiting...

I have done 6 months of pre-surgery requirements and met with Emma Patterson last week, now just waiting for final approval for the surgery date. Getting anxious and excited!

Good Luck, i just had mine last week. It is normal to come out of it thinking what did i just do, but in a short week i am already feeling better, off the pain meds and healing fast.

 Good luck to you!  I was banded by Dr. Patterson on July 2.  So far so good!  I did a pre op diet where I lost about 20 pounds, but my total loss now is 58.  It's a great adventure!  If you're interested, you can check out my Lap Band blog; I started documenting my adventure before surgery and I've kept it going. It's good therapy and I'm hoping others find it useful.  Best wishes to you! I think Dr. Patterson is great.  My blog is:

Thanks for the support! I will check out your blog.

I have only heard great things about Dr. Patterson, my sister also had RNY with her in Nov 09 and looks amazing. She is down 95 lbs last time I checked and is wearing a size 10/12. I love seeing her, great motivation!
