fruty77 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am scheduled for my surgery on September 4th, I'll be flying in on the 3rd for the Pre-op tests. If anyone will be there during that time, feel free to contact me. I joined this forum a few weeks ago and I read through the posts every day, everyone has been so helpful with all of their stories and the tips they have shared. I actually am not very nervous at all because I feel like I know what to expect now that I've heard so many positive stories. Thanks to all!

Russ Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I was banded on July 8th and will be back in TJ for my fill on Sept 4th. My brother will also be getting his fill with me as we had the surgery on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbird Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Husband is going in for dental work on September 22 around noon, so I will probably be there too. Right now I am trying to contact Dr Quiroz for a plastic surgery consult which I would like to schedule for the same day, but he hasn't replied yet. CaraMBA, we are down in Gig Harbor right now visiting clynn, and are going over to UP tomorrow to have dinner with friends. Glad to hear someone else from this area is going to see Dr. Ortiz. Does your aunt live around here too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunt lives in Port Orchard. Now clynn has no excuses to not get together with me!

Lived there all of her life. Have you ever gone to the Port Orchard support group? They are somewhat affiliated with Fill Management Northwest, I think. I saw the PS thread. We are actually down in Arizona more than in Washington, so it is just as easy for me to get it done in Mexico. I'm going to do a little price comparison and see what I can afford to get done. Arms are #1 on my list right now, then legs, then chin, then boobs (maybe boobs are actually #2) then tummy then . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doinitagann Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 i am scheduled for my first fill on sept 2nd. anyone else there that day??grace Oh wow, i just scheduled my surgery for Sept 3!!! I am new to this whole thing and am hoping to get some encouraging news from other banders. I have been overweight all my life and have tried and failed EVERY diet i have ever tried. i am now at the highest I have ever been and am ready for a life changing event. i realize that the band is only a tool and not the miracle cure but in the back of my mind, I still feel like I will fail this too. Do others feel this way as well? i really am beginning to get nervous....I love food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CaraMBA09 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 first of all, you have to change your mindset...pronto! You will do this and this will work. There are amazing people on this blog who were a huge reason I finally decided to go this route after fighting my weight for 10 years. I had been thinking of and researching the band for 3 months before committing myself. The band will work if you work it...I highly recommend you spend time daily going through all the comments, questions and statements. I am getting banded September 15th and cannot wait. I am looking forward to that skinny girl inside waiting to get out! best of luck Cara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll see each other!! Hang in there, and think positive. There is so much wonderful feedback from the vets on this forum. I too have failed at every diet and have been successful a few times at loosing weight but just gain it all back and then some. I finally hit bottom and decided I needed more help then my own will power and so here I am. This forum is so supportive and it seems that many people on here get their motivation from others in the same boat, I know I do!! Good Luck on your surgery!!
