Thank you Angie, for sticking up for me, you took the words right out of my mouth! I wouldnt know how to search previous topics even if I wanted to. Do I have to search page after page?..I thik this is easier, those who can answer is fine with me. Ya,I heard drinking a lot of water would help. I just scraped every penny to have this surgery. Just seeing if im going to going to have to pay for more stuff. I know if I were to have any other work done, it wouldnt be for a while anyway. Its still nice to hear from the people who its actually happing to...thanks for those who respond.

Another question..lol!..I need to lose 100lbs Im 22 years old so i know i have (young skin), but am I going to have extra skin hangng? I think Ive heard people call the lower stomach an (apron, I have that now, where I could pick it up.(I know gross huh?) But if that fat is lost, will it still hang?..Im just in fear that im not going to look the way im expecting after losing all the weight.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if those who have already been banded could let me know how the port effects their living? After surgery, does sleeping on yor stomach hurt?..I LOVE SLEEPING ON MY STOMACH!!.. And are you allowed to do sit ups, or anything else that might interfere with your port? I thik overall, the only thing that is (FREAKING) me out is the idea of being able to feel the port, like is it visible to another person?..Can I feel it if I rubbed the area? Honesty would be nice. Thank You.

I will also be having my surgery on Dec 17th. Im driving up from L.A. so im going to be having my tests and surgery on Thursday, should be leaving on Saturday. They booked the marriot for my boyfriend, but I dont know if ill let him leave me by myself!! lol

Im staying at the marriot, however im getting my pre ops/tests and surgery on the same day. So I will leave Los Angeles Thursday morning around 5amish..probably make it in mexico by 8am...and ill stay in the hospital on Friday , then they should let me go home Saturday. So technically the room is really for my boyfriend..If I ever let him leave my side! hahah

Hey everyone, I will be banded on December 17th!!!

Anyone who has lost 100lbs or less...do you have any hanging skin? I'm 21years old, so I have young skin, but I have stretched skin. How about your arms?...I need to lose 100lbs, but I think I'm just goin to have a lot of skin leftover!!

For those who did go shopping, did you guys need to convert your money into pesos? If not do you think its a good idea?

Hey for those who had their bands done in June/July.....did you need to wear the masks the whole time in Mexico?

Hey you guys! I'm scheduled for my band August 18th. Im going to be staying at the Marriott.....so scared...I know I'm going to cry when im supposed to be getting sleepy for surgery! I have never been put to sleep for anything. I just want to wke up..I'm not even thinking of any pain....

Hi everyone, I've been reading all your guys messages on this forum for the last 2 months, however I just decided to take part in the support, knowing that I will need it. I have a question, since I've read back for a couple months and haven't found anyone with my problem! My issue is with the pre-opertive diet, (the diet you can chose from wether its the 2 week before or 1 week before your scheduled surgery).......Well I wasnt able to start the diet 2 weeks before, so I'm starting it 1 week before, and Im afraid Im not going to be able to lose any weight before the surgery. Is that ok? I really dont want it to be a problem. What do you guys think?
