  1. Karen, I'm so excited and happy for you! My surgery is scheduled Dec. 21st and I can't wait! I'm fortunate enough to be off work for the 2 weeks around Christmas (work for the school district), but I understand that most people are fine going back to work. My sister had hers done last summer and her only problem was being a 911 dispatch operator did not allow her to get up from her chair often and it sometimes became uncomfortable (but not painful). When you can...walk, walk, walk. Best wishes to you and God bless. Darcey
  2. Congratulations!!! I could feel your excitment just reading your message. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 21st. It helps to read posts like yours to confirm my decision is a good one. I can't wait to start getting rid of all the big clothes. Looking forward to wearing real summer type clothing next year. Wish you all the best and continued success. Darcey DarceyO@msn.com
  3. Wish I could say I would there there then, but my surgery is scheduled Dec. 21st. Best of luck to you! God bless.
  4. My banding date is December 21st....anybody else going to be there around that time?
  5. I have had all the same concerns you do and I hate the idea that I have to resort to surgery to lose this weight. My sister had Dr. Ortiz put in a lap band on her in May 2004 and has nothing but praise for Dr. Ortiz and their team. After 6 months of research, thought, tears and prayer....my sister will be accompanying me for my lap band surgery scheduled December 21st, 2004. I am 44 years old and weight 300 pounds. Have not been under 200 pounds in 20 years. My sister and I had looked into lap band and gastric bypass surgery here in the states (our insurance won't pay for either). My sister pointed out to me that not only are the facilities in Mexico top notch...Dr. Ortiz and his team give you VERY personal care. I am so looking forward to a new outlook and new hope in life. My health is very good at this point for as much weight as I carry around. I want to keep it that way and I need the help and the tool of the lap band to help me accomplish this. Take care and best wishes to you.
