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!

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!

><' MeMeMeMe -FEB 27th - I am getting this done just a few months before my husband gets home from his second tour in Iraq - I have no illusions of being thin when he steps off the plane. 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

Hi guys

I am being banded on th 11th arrive the 10th would love to chat before you leave the hotel. how is the pr-op diet going?

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. I am sure that will change but it is a gimps at the rollercoaster I just got on.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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
