    Hey Sandie,

    I'm in Portland too. Having surgery on June 29th. still unsure if I want the band or plications. Thought I had made up my mind but reading posts on the forum are making me reconsider...YIKES. It's nice to know someone else in PDX has been through it:

    Drs. I am having my band surgery (SO EXCITED)on June 29th. I have a question about the post-op meds. What do you prescribe? I saw that they can be filled there for $125. I have ins here in the states and wondering if I can get the scripts early and bring them with me, so my ins can pay? Is this possible? I'm just trying to find a way to save a little more money Thanks Stephanie

    Nope nothing about 3 days of fluids, just the 3 options. I'll send the docs a msg and find out:)

    Thanks ladies, good to know. Now I didn't read anything about only liquids three days before?? Also, they said you will get your prescriptions filled there for $125..what the heck do they give you that cost that much? Pain meds shouldn't cost that much. Heck I'll bring my own. I emailed my "concierge" Jamie to ask if I could get the scripts before and get them filled so my ins would pay, but he didn't seem to understand what I was taking about. Any thoughts? Steph

    Hi Donna, GREAT JOB, it sure does feel good to lose even a little weight, but I have the same problem...it always comes back. I'm glad the band worked for you for so long. So what happened, why the plication now? Looking forward to seeing you down there. My surg is the 29th, coming in on the 28th and getting a facial at OCC:). Do you know if you have to do a bowel prep for the band? Thanks Steph

    Great Job Sandie- Can I ask how tall you are? I am 5'7 and almost the same weight. Just the thought of being under #200 makes me giddy....especially in only 2 months. Did you say that only 15lbs was post surg? So you lost most of your wt before on the pre-op diet? I would love to hear how your doing. I'm planning on the lap-band. Curious to know why you did the sleeve instead Keep up the great work Stephanie

    oooohhh, no I didn't. I got an email about facial peels or something. How do you find out about specials and stuff? Steph

    Hi Donna, I'm headed down on the 28th for surg the 29th. 170lbs WOW that's amazing...good for you. Hopefully I'll get to see you down there. Maybe we can hang by the pool...or grab a drink(clear fluids of course)...lol Stephanie

    Hi Kelly, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm super excited. Starting on the "diet" early since I don't want to stress about it, and I have been WAY overeating lately and feel hungry all the time. Did the hyno cds help at all. That's one thing I haven't tried. I like your "toolbox" analogy...that's exactly how I feel. Wish I could find someone that's going to be there when I am:( I have to hurry and get my passport app in this week so I can be sure to get it back..that's the scary part. ttyl steph

    I just talked to Lori and have my schedule date for June 29th. Super excited. Planning on starting my pre-op diet tomorrow so I don't have to stress about getting the weight off. Look forward to talking with any of you that are getting ready too:) Steph

    Hi All, I have butterflies in my stomach just putting in this post. Had my first talk with Lori today and hoping I will be scheduled soon. Afraid to hope that this could be...finally the help I need to be the person I know is hiding under all this fat. I'm 41 and have been overweight the majority of my life. I'm hoping to lose as much as 100lbs but dare to hope. Good luck to all of you going in early June. I can't wait to hear about your experiences:) Steph
