I'm so excited I can't sleep!

Well, I went to the seminar and .....this is it. I am going to make this happen. It was so reassuring to see so many other people just like me. After reading a lot of the posts one of my first questions was that I wanted to know how long the liquid diet pre and post op would be. To my surprise, he said that all he would like me to do is give up junk foood and excersise for 30 minutes a day 30 days before surgery.

I am just itching to make this all happen. My primary cares doctors apt. isn't until January 7th so I'll have to sit tight until then.

My husband was wonderful about the whole situation las night, he didn't make any jokes or critical comments about the surgury which I thought might become a problem. I know he is behind me 100% of the way. The only problem is opening up this can of worms to my mom. Yikes! I'm so afraid she'll try and talk me out of it!

Hello, I am at the start of this new life of ours, i told my family last week about my decision to do lap-band. They were all supportive, they just wanted to make sure i had researched the whole thing and i wanted to make the changes to everyday life, once i told them i had done lots to get ready for it they were all happy for me, my mom did say i could save the money if i could do it on my own, i did remind her that i have tried to do it on my own. lol.. i see the doc on the 19 of jan to get my date for surgery. Good Luck, callieanna
