Anybody Scheduled for Oct?


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Oh, come on, everybody. There must be someone else out there scheduled for October.

I went to a gastroenterologist today and need an upper g.i. endoscopy to see if I have an ulcer. He wants me to get it before I get banded, as getting banded with an ulcer doesn't sound like a great idea to either of us. What seemed really weird to me is that he didn't even know what lap-band surgery was. When i explained it to him, he asked me about fills and thought the whole thing sounded great.

So I am going on the assumption that I will still be traveling to TJ for surgery with my husband on october 10. Hope to hear from some of the other Octoberites, and hope I see you there.

I will be having surgery October 1st. I didn't want to take the kids out of school, so hubby is staying home and I will be by myself. I am not worried about that, but it would be nice to know who else is going to be there, and have someone to walk with etc.

A FRIEND AND ME WILL BE HAVING SURGERY ON THE 1ST ALSO ARRIVING ON SUNDAY

LOOK US UP JUDY AND BECKY

Thanks so much for the offer, I will try to find you guys! I will be arriving on Sunday also, and we will probably all be on the van to the center in the morning, if we don't meet up before then.

Hi Snowbird,

I'm having surgery Oct. 12th. Maybe I'll see you there! Still in the nervous/anxious stage...but getting better. Good luck with your band. :)

My first post!

I will be making the trip to Mexico in October. My surgery is scheduled for October 17th with Dr. Ortiz.

Looking forward to the surgery. I have always been able to loose wait when I want to.

My problem has consistently been that I always gain it back. I am confident with the right tool (the lapband)

I will eventually be able to take control of my weight issue. Wishing everyone on this forum the best, make

each and every day a valuable one!

Warmest Regards,

SBL

LG,

Hope to see you there. We will be leaving the 12th, but should overlap you some at the clinic.

I have to admit I have had so much else on my mind lately that I haven't had time to get nervous about the surgery. I watched my daughter go through it and know it isn't bad; she was up and walking an hour afterwards, I think.

I had an upper GI endoscopy today to check for ulcers, which luckily I don't have, so everything is good for surgery in October. Yahoo! I may be nuts, but I need to call OCC to see if I can get a root canal taken care of at the same time. I must be a glutton for punishment.

Hi SBL, I am also having the surgery on Oct 17th. Are you flying in? I'm coming from St.Louis. I am so excited and very nervous, I just wish I could get it done today! Maybe we can talk more via email before the surgery. Let me know and I can give you my email address. Dactyl

Yay, snowbird, glad to hear your endoscopy went well.

Let's see: an endoscopy, root canal, abdominal surgery all in the space of a month! If you could add a Pap and a mammogram, it would be all a woman could hope for!

I am getting excited about my surgery in 5 days, but the pre-op diet is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am not cheating (unless broccoli isn't part of a "green salad" ) I haven't lost any weight in the first 2 days.....I hope things pick up. I am scared Dr. Miranda will cancel me. Has that ever happened??? AAAHHHH!

Hello Dactyl,

Yes, I am flying in on the 16th of October. I live in Central Ohio.

I am excited! Do you know of anyone personally who has had

surgery with Dr. Ortiz (or lapband surgery for that matter)

I don't but am confident that I am doing the right thing!

Vicky,

You must be getting ready to leave for Tijuana. Have a good trip! I just had my first protein shake today for lunch . . . not bad. Of course, I put some blueberries, a couple strawberries, and a piece of pineapple in it, so I guess you can't really say I'm sticking to the diet very well. I've been trying to exercise and eat well all summer, so I've lost about 20 lb since the first of June. Hope to lose a few more before surgery on the 10th.

We'll be thinking of you Monday.

I am scheduled for October 23rd!! I just called today to find out what the procedure would be to schedule and Lori said she could schedule me for October!! I was thinking maybe I could get ini by January. Wow! That is like in three weeks!! I am so excited.

I will be flying in on the 22nd (just made my reservations) and out on the 25th. Wow! I'll be a "Bandster" by Halloween!! My big challenge is to lose 12 pounds by the 22nd (5% of my current weight). I'm not worried. I'm good at losing weight when I put my mind to it, just terrible about keeping it off.

I was folding laundry this afternoon thinking, "I will never buy this size clothes again!"

I have found great encouragement in this forum. I would love connecting with others!

"Pammie"'s pictures were also an inspiration!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! ><'

I am also having surgery with Dr. Ortiz on Oct. 17. I will see you there. I am starting the pre-op diet. So far so good.

I am from Oklahoma and I will fly in late on the 16th. I have to work on Tuesday. I am ready to do this.
