Good luck!! I'm also getting mine close to home, thankfully covered by insurance... I've had my last pre-op visit, just waiting for them to call with a surgery date. I'm thinking my surgery will likely be sometime in the next 3 weeks. Already getting nervous... I'm sure you will do great! Keep us posted!

I'm brand-spankin' new to the forum, but just wanted to thank you all for the wonderfully helpful posts. I've been lurking for a while, and feel so much more prepared for my upcoming surgery, thanks to all of you! I'm getting banded by a surgeon in PA, and have my nutritionist visit and pre-op visit with the doctor on Monday (tomorrow.) I'm still scared of surgery (but who likes surgery, anyway?) but I am feeling much stronger that this is the right thing to do so that I can be healthy. Just wanted to send a big "thanks!" for everyone's insight and advice posted on this forum - it's a great resource!
