Surgery On The 31St And I'm Getting Anxious

I finally decided to post after I've been looking around for a couple of weeks! This site is so awesome and I'm so happy to have stumbled upon it. I think it is going to be very helpful for me to have support from people who are going through the same things I am. I am scheduled for surgery on January 31st, 2012. I'm very excited that my journey which started in the late spring/early summer of 2011 is finally going to become a reality in a few short days. I'm excited and anxious, but also very nervous. If anyone has any words of wisdom...it would be greatly appreicated!!

The 31st must be a popular day for bands!! That's my surgery date, too! I was very fortunate and didn't start my journey until November, so things have moved along very quickly for me. I could have had my surgery at the end on December, but had a cruise scheduled this month and then needed the two weeks for the post-op diet!

Good luck to all of you.

I'm get banded on January 31st too - yeah us! I am also nervous and excited. I love this site and just recently started coming back to it. I am keeping my surgery a secret for the most part - only 2 people know. So, it's nice to be able to communicate with all of you. Has anyone else kept their surgery secret???

My pre-op diet has been meat, cheese and eggs which I'm so sick of, but thankful that I haven't had to be on an all liquid diet. I have lost 5lbs in the last week...woo hoo!!

The countdown has totally began...I will be at the hospital in 12 short hours to start the process...Reality has really set in and I'm very scared and very nervous. I want this more than anything, but a small part of me wants to back out, but I won't!! Good luck to all getting banded tomorrow :) See all of you on the other side!!
