Are we there yet??

So I am due to be banded on the 27th of August and wish it would hurry up and get here already! I am going to have it on the same day as my dad so we will be going through all this process together.:redface:

It really is a good time too, birthday just having passed and a bit of time between now and Christmas to get settled into the new life :eek:. (and due to the fact I am cooking Christmas dinner this year for 20ish :thumbup: I am glad I have this time to get into a routine!)

I am excited about the future with a healthy dose of apprehension too. Will be starting the preop this weekend which I am not looking forward to but hey, i can manage!

Have only told one person at work. Have told close friends and the whole family knows (dad can't keep secrets and given he's told everyone about himself, mine can't be kept quiet but I am ok with that!). Mostly positive feedback from everyone which is great!!

Bring on August 27th!!!
