So glad to hear you are doing o.k. I had remembered you were going down to have it removed and wondered how it went.

Best of luck to you band free !!!

Just a couple more days... congrats I wish I was heading there this week... Best wishes

Hey Dave,

I know what you mean, I have a 3 year old who I have never spent one night away from.. so this is the harder part of getting this done... I know all will be good from the surgery, its being away from her for 4 days.. hope I survive !!!

I get banded on Thursday Sept 10.....

I'm going for a fill this coming saturday 12th at 1030 am....anyone else going to be there??

Hey Cindy,

I am having surgery on Thursday and then I believe I am there for a final check on Saturday Morning before my flight.. maybe I will see you there !!!

Hi Jen.. Did you know what date you will be going now since you switched?

Hi ! I am going one day later on the 10th..... !! Where are you staying?

Hello Everyone.. I just scheduled my surgery for September 9th and cant wait... Even though as the date gets closer, i find myself getting more nervous.

Hey there I was planning on going for the 9th, but had to switch ... I will see you there !!!

Jen

Ahhhh, Carrie, congrats - you look so beautiful!

Can't wait to see what the next year brings for you! Its going to be awesome!

I LOVE seeing all of these pictures of before , during, after shots !! This is what's exciting to me-- knowing that a better life is coming my way !!!(I am getting banded Sept. 10)

Keep up the good work-- you are an inspiration !!!

Hi

Yep my hair fell out , but I dod have regrowth.

A nutritionist told me protein

Biotin

omega 3

I now take all three.

Goodluck

Thanks for the replies.. I wonder if I should start taking biotin now or wait until afterwards..

Nicole, I have seen your recent struggles, hope things are going well for you now....

I also see you operate a dayhome.. we should talk-- I work for a PLC(Parent Link Centre) And I work specifically with Dayhome providers !!

Take care!

O.k. am I understanding this correctly ?? Do you lose some hair after having surgery?? And does it ever come back ? Is it due to lack of vitamins/nutrients???

I have very fine thin hair to begin with and am wondering how much to expect??? Yikes!!

I am still getting the surgery done--even if I go bald !! hahahaha

i think that you pretty much said it all. Well written. I had everything done in one day and it was better that way I thought to.

Thanks for your help. I am going in September and I am a need to know kinda girl-- I like to know whats coming my way and I think you gave a great description of what happens while there.

Best of luck to you and will look forward to more updates !!!

Jen

Here in the Midwest, September is one of those transition months. Summer is turning into Fall and then Fall into Winter. Having Lap Band surgery in September is a life changing transition for you. If you scheduled for surgery or a fill, this topic is where you can meet new people just like you. So, Let's hear from all of you that are coming to the OCC in September.

I am soo excited.. I just booked my flight yesterday. I am having surgery on September 10 !! Anyone else???

Hi All!

I am hoping to connect with some people that have had the surgery/or planning on getting that live in the Calgary Area.

I am seriously looking into going down to get it done and want to talk to as many people as I can before I do with regards to fills done in Calgary, the total experience etc.

Please get back to me, so I can pick your brain! I am very excited as I was in the weight management program through CHR, but ultimately I am not sick or sick enough to qualify for a spot.(no pre-existing conditions) I have spent teh first 35 yerars of my life overweight-- now I want to spend teh next 35 at a healthier weight !!!
