Hi Kim! Welcome to the forum! Happy to hear from you! You'll get a lot of support from us here! I don't know what I'd do without OH! I'd be lost without all my wonderful RI friends here! Maybe you can come meet some of us this Saturday at E. Prov. Bowling Lanes???? My endo is tomorrow. The last for me as well. I'll be glad to have it over with. I'll let you know how it goes so you know what to look forward to. LOL. I'm assuming you will be going to RW for your's as well? Anyway, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome! Jules

thanks for the invite but  my son has a b-day party sat...maybe next time?!?! yes i am going to RW for endo and PLEASE let me know how it went for  you i had one before about 3 or 4 years ago it was really no big deal.. so dont worry  Kim

There will definitely be a next time! I'll try not to worry. Thanks!

Just checking on you .. everything go all right ?? Kim

Welcome!!!  I love this board and would be lost without it's support! Good luck to you!

HI Kim, I'm a fellow lap bander via Dr. G. First of all, she's awesome! I am so glad to have had her do my surgery. If there are any band questions you might have, and you think I might be able to help, feel free to send me a message! You are very brave and wonderful yourself! Congrats to you on taking this life changing voyage!! It'll be worth it, every step of the way! P.S. Make sure you check outt he support groups at roger williams on the last thursday of ever month (if anyone else reads this and I'm wrong let me know!) , i have missed a few myself, but plan on being at the next one!

See ya around and Welcome Aboard!

Thank-you to everyone for the warm welcomes and wishes! I will probably have a ton of questions!What time is the support group at RW's I would love to start those.. The first question I want to ask Dr. G is how much time does it take on average to return to work? Any ideas.. I know everyone is has different situations.. But being a single mom I want to get back to my routine asap..   Thanks again  Kim

 

Welcome Kim!
I'm also a newbie and a patient of Dr. G.  Good luck with the endo Monday!  Have a wonderful day!

Welcome Kim!!
