excited!

[nicolek]

Hi Guys

So 4 more days until my surgery. I'm not nervous as I trust Dr O and had a good experience with my lapband surgery.

and very excited.

I've lost 11lbs of the 13lbs I need to lose for preop and confident when I get there

I would've reached my goal.

I'm staying at the Caminoreal and was wondering if I should bring my bullet for protein shakes.

What do you think?

Anyone else going to be there?

[EricaG]

awesome!! congratz!

Hi Nicole,

I will be arriving to OCC on Sunday a getting surgery on MOnday the 8th, I too am staying where you are. I would love to get in touch with you. I am having the plication surgery and I understand you are getting the full on sleeve. I too had a band and loved it until my slippage. I have gained most of my weight back and I am hoping that I am successful with this surgery. Why did you decide sleeve instead of plication?

[sleevester73]

nothing to be nervous about , you will do great!

[Shari]

Nicole: You should be home by now. . .How is everything going?

Oh, BTW, for those getting the plication. . . There is now a forum set up for plication patients. . . I will still check in here every once in a while, but will mostly be posting on that forum . . .

Wishing all you Nov. patients a great and successful surgery and a wonderful after surgery experience. . . LOL

Hi guys ,

I found the Sleeve easier than lapband to get over as less pain although the drain made it

harder to walk around places. Once that was out I felt fabulous.

The staff were amazing as usual and after switching hotels life was good.

I was bored as I went by myself and stayed a whole week but caught up on some reading.

After my adventure traveling home which I have posted about I'm exited about losing the weight again.

Will be on here loads.
