NkyBelle Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hi everyone! I'm new to the board but have been reading posts on here for a long time. After much research, I have scheduled my date on August 25th. Is anyone else scheduled that far out? Looking for someone else that might want some handholding!

mgewton Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 HI I to will be having my surgery in August. I will get their on the 25th for all my tests, and have my surgery on the 26th. So hopefully I'll be able to stop in and say hi and see how you are doing. Do you have anyone going with you? Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NkyBelle Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I'm still up in the air on if someone is coming with me. My boyfriend or mom wants to come with me and are very supportive, but for some reason, I feel weird about someone being there. I think I've always felt like my weight is such a personal sturggle, I don't want to let someone in on that. If I thought I could totally do the surgery and not tell anyone, I probably would. Does that sound stupid? But most likely, one of them won't want me going by myself! What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgewton Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi I do have two people going with me. My sister and my stepmom are going with me. They both support me one hundred percent. My husband would go, but I'm making him stay at home with our kids. I don't want to pay someone to watch them. I think it would be go if you had one person with you, I think I would be to scared to do this on my own. Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenb Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 NkyBelle, no you are not silly to think that way. I went alone all the way from New York, and it's totally safe & secure. In some ways I was glad to be alone; in some ways it would have been nice to have hubby there. Either way you choose, you will be fine; but if you do choose to go by yourself, Mrs. Ortiz will take extra care of you, and, regardless, you will bond w/others being banded that same day! Good luck & keep us posted, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NkyBelle Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Melissa --That is nice that your sister and your mom are both going. It's funny because my sister and I are really close but I haven't told her. She's a nurse and see so much that it freaked her out when I just mentioned I had been reading about it. So I figure, I'll just keep it to myself for now. Karen--I think that's great that you felt like you could do it by yourself too though. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being overly cautious, just thinking I will get a negative reaction, when it might not be as bad as what I'm thinking!

JennaR Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I went with my sister and mom and it was a bit of a disaster. I had to pay extra on the hotel at $17.00 per day and I didn't know before I got there. I figured a room was a room. Also, it was a bit crowded and cluttered with 3 females in one room. I should have just taken my husband with me and had mom and sis watch our son. If I had to do it over again, that is what I would definitely change. I definitely would not have wanted to be alone.
