I WANNA GO FAST.... maybe not this fast!

Well... A process that I thought would take about 6 months to complete has happened in less than 3. I am very happy and excited about my surgery, I just thought I had a little more time to prepare.

All my doctor apps happened really fast and last week 11/30 I went in for history and physical, there I was told I needed to start my pre opp diet and my nurse would be calling me in the next week to tell me my date.

The pre op diet was hard and honesty I thought I couldn't do it. I dont own a scale, but when I went to pick up my B/C yesterday I had lost 10 lbs in 4 days!!!! That made me very happy...

This morning my nurse calls and tells me my surgery date is for 12/11, in 3 DAYS!!!!

O and I need to lose 5 more lbs before then... OH MY!

I am very nervous but excited at the same time.. and if anyone else is getting banded on that day I would love a bandster buddy!

GO GIRL GO!!! If you haven't already, go to the home page, down to 'groups', then '2009', then December...we had several people most days in my month. Join the forum there ('subscribe' to the group, under 'forum tools' I believe) and you'll have lots of help from people in the same place. -BG

You can do it! Mine came really fast, too. I thought I would have months to mull it over. I was banded less than a month after my seminar. Now, only one week post op, I feel great and think it was the best decision I ever made.

I have always felt that when things just "fall into place" there is a reason for it. It means you are doing what you should be doing in your life. So, go for it! The universe is behind you cheering you on.
