Stacy Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 hello. i'm new to the forum and have many ??? hoping someone can help me out. i'm wanting the surgery asap, hopefully in the next few weeks. how long does it take to get the appointment from the very start? also, do i need to get a passport if i am walking or driving back into the u.s.? Well I can only answer for myself but I had my appt schedualed 3 1/2 weeks ago... I am sure there may be some sooner than that I am not for sure.You will need to lose a % of weight prior to your surgery to help make the surgery go smoothly I lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks and am still loseing and my surgery is this friday. As far as passport goes until this summer you have to have a drivers license and birth certificate in order to cross the border by land.. if by air you need a passport. Good luck on your journey!

PININA Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hello everybody!! My sister was banded on the 16th of August and after seeing such wonderful care she received there I was VERY impressed, so much that I'm having mine done on the 21st of Feb. Not scared at all. More excited. Hope to meet some newbies there! Pininas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I just grabbed the last spot for Feb 29th which is the leap year day, so I guess my yearly surgery anniversary will only come around every 4 years! LOL I am arriving on the 28th and would love to chat with anyone else having surgery on the same date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only want to get on my way and do all my healing and resting up before I hold him again I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing our journey - Hang on folks - life as we know it is about to change for the best! I am getting mine on Feb 27, too! I hope to see you there! I'm doubbly excited for you when your hubby comes back! Always, Shampoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolek I was banded on the 11th... a bit of pain, a bit of discomfort, and to be honest a of regret. Not sure this was the right decision right now.

WAgal Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Im Feb 28th! I cant wait! Just need to secure a loan and plane tickets. Snabin, Hi! Just read your post and your surgery date is the same as mine! Let's talk, I see you are from Oregon... I'm about 4 1/2 hrs. from Portland, OR. I'm excited and want to sort of buddy up with someone doing the pre-op diet. Have you started. I did the slimfast thing today... dinner I was suppose to eat my lean cuisine but decided to eat Adobo (chicken in a tangy broth) with my family that I cooked. Anyways, I'm proud of myself. I ate just what I put on my plate and didn't eat more servings. I think I have to eat earlier though... my husband gets home at 7pm and that's such a late time to eat dinner when you're trying to diet. K...email me anytime.... Sorry, I sound so eager... I hope I don't scare you. Hanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLI am arriving on the 28th and would love to chat with anyone else having surgery on the same date! MamaMichelle, My surgery is on the 28th.. a day after yours. I'm sure we'll cross paths. Let's hook up when we get there! How's your pre-op diet going... any tips you can give me? I've been asking everyone here on the forum, lol! I'm determined to get as much pointers as I can so I will not be discouraged and loose the weight asked of me before surgery! Blessing to all and many thanks for all of you that have responded or will respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I will be getting my surgery feb 8th and they said I was the last spot so it sounds like a full house =D> Stacy How is my twin sister?? hahaha I finally got on here. I thought I was already registered...but when I tried to sign in it wouldn't let me. I had to do it again. But anywho...here I am! Have you gotten brave and weighed yet? I did...and I will say I am kinda disappointed. I have only lost like 1 1/2 pounds! I did lose the 51 before surgery...but I would have thought with only liquids...I would still be losing like crazy!

nicolek Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi I was banded on the 11th Feb got home to Canada yesterday and can't believe how good I feel!!! Today the shoulder pain from gas has gone so that could be it. I was amazed it only took 20mins for the op and that I was up walking around with my fellow lapbanders within the hour.We even went shopping to Revolution Drive the next day. I'm living on chicken broth and popsicles and maybe try a yop tommorrow (I'm a little scared). Anyone having the op soon don't be nervous The staff were fantastic and very HOT.We met up with long time bandsters coming for fills while we were waiting,They were full of good info and great before piccies. I can't wait to go back down again at the beginning of April for a fill as I know how much I trust them.Good luck everyone Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
