Im Back! Anyone having lap band with Ryder/Roye Office?

Dont know if y'all remember me. I havent been around in a while. I was going to have RNY with Harrington, but changed my mind and I am now having lap band with Ryder. I met with her already and she said that she is waiting for a doctor to come up from somewhere for training since she hasnt done any lap bands. Well, I have my appt with her on thursday to (supposedly) get my date and sign the papers and everything. Im wondering how they are booking? How far out- Anyone else having it? I'm really committed now, and just want it done and over with because I am starting school in Sept. Hi Y'all!!!!!!!

hey, welcome back! you've been all over the place with this surgery, eh? i hope things turn out the way you want them to this time. dr. ryder seems to be a wonderful doctor. you'll be in good hands - but you've only got 2 weeks until september? are you saying you want your surgery over and done with by then ?? good luck! kristen

Yeah its kinda a BIG decision....so thats why I have been all over the place. Nope, didnt say I wanted it over and done with by September, just saying im going back to school and I'd like it over and done with so I can concentrate on other things as soon as possible Ive met Dr Ryder, she's great.

I SEE HIM ON SEPT. 15 THEN IN SURGERY . IT WAS FAST IM SHOCKED BUT HE MUST HAVE HAD A CANCELLATION THAT DAY BECAUSE I WAS REALLY THINKING IT WOULD BE NOV. OR DEC. ELAINE PS. DR. ROYE DOES THE LAP BAND AND HAS DONE 10 WITH NO PROBLEMS SO FAR .SO IM HAPPY WITH THE FACT HE IS ALL TRAINED ALREADY
