Welcome to the board and best wishes on your journey this time around.

I also had open.. started in feb o7- had surgery july 20,07 with no complications.. best thing i ever did for myself.. sarah do you have family in st albans.. i live in st.albans

I went to the informational meeting/class the first of July 2008, had all of my other appts then met with Dr Toder the first week of October and my surgery was scheduled for March 2nd 2009. I was surprised and disappointed that it was so far out after meeting with the surgeon but now I am happy because it is getting closer!

I loved Dr Clough. My doc that did the pysch evail said that Dr. Clough was best in the country. I was 59 and 470 lbs I wanted the best. No problems here and very THANKFUL.

Thanks yall so six months give or take! 

6 months is good. Good time to start working on your brain....  I was required by my center to have 3 months of emotional therapy prior to surgery.  Use this time wisely!!  Also, if you don't already start your exercise routine NOW!  At least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of some sort of physical activity.
