I am scheduled for September 8th!!! I finally told my mother, and she was cooler than expected. She is going to fly to our nearest passport place for a card or updated passport - the super expedited way. She will fly out Wednesday to Miami and come back the same day, because she reeeeeeally wants to come with me. I have been good about the pre-op diet so far, and have lost about 13lbs in a week. I am so excited to have this done. The hardest part will be leaving my husband and twin two year olds, as I have NEVER been away from them! Does anyone know if your companion is allowed to stay at the OCC with you the night after surgery?

Good Luck! I am struggling with the same thing. I guess I better tell them soon, since I am supposed to leave in two weeks! I am also curious to see what people responses are. The main thing, is you are doing it for you, but it is an added stress when family isn't supportive.

Congratulations! I am so excited for you!

You are so beautiful!

Congratulations! How exciting! I love hearing special news like this!

Are the scars quite noticeable? I thought that they were very small incisions...after having twins, I am guess that the scars may not compete with my lovely stretchmarks

I would also Love to see! I am still in the "decision making" process! ryanandjessica.heming@gmail.com

I am also considering this procedure at the OCC, and I have had many questions for them over the last week. The first question I asked was about pregnancy, and if I would be able to have another baby if I had the band procedure done. She, like many others said "yes", and that sometimes at the beginning of the 3rd trimester, the docs wish for you to have some fill taken out as that is when the baby doubles in size! I am sure everyone is different, but I just wanted to pass along what I was told! Congratulations to you!
