    March 2011 Bandsters

    Congrats! I was banded 3/21 and am starting to feel better each day. I am a little emotional with all the changes, but am just glad the surgery is done. Rest up and keep us posted on your progress
  2. Thanks everyone for there encouragement and support for my surgery. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to take care of me on my "big day". To all those about to embark on this journey it's scary, but I can say I came through with flying colors:) So glad to be a banster now:)
  3. I had the choice of medifast or Atkins and I chose Atkins and only had to do my diet for 7 days. I lost a total of 9 pounds. I am 2 days past surgery and haven't weighed myself yet, as healing an swelling need to come down. You will do great.
  4. I'm sorry Shirley, but I had to laugh when you said "give me my clothes I am leaving" I can see myself in the EXACT same situation with my husband tomorrow. Thanks for your kind and encouraging words. It makes people going through this feel a little less crazy.
  5. I have had a few friends tell me the same thing and I just have to keep moving forward like yourself. You are doing the best thing for you and we will be looking and feeling so much better 3 mths, 6mths, and a year from now. Please let me know how your surgery goes as I will let you know mine. I am scheduled for 0800 and have to be at the surgery center at 0630 so less than 12 hours to go....yikes! Praying that things go smoothly for all 3/21 surgery patients.
  6. Thanks so much for all you reassuring words and experiences...it really does help. I am just going to ask for the maximum "happy juice" before surgery and pray for calmness to take over. To Andrea please let me know how things went tomorrow and I will update you all when I am home from surgery tomorrow:)

    Surgery Tomorrow!

    If you don't mind me asking who did your surgery? I am schedule with Dr. Trace Curry at Journey Lite on Monday and am super nervous. I have known Dr. Curry for years and he is an AMAZING surgeron, but am fearful of the general anesthesia. I'm so glad everything went well for you.
  8. Just wondering if anyone else out there is getting banded on 3/21..which is only two days away. I have been an emotional roller coaster and am so scared of going under general anesthesia. The sad thing is I see people EVERY day get intubated and go under general anesthesia and they have ALL been fine. I'm just starting to fear that I will cry and freak out once I get to the surgery center. I want this more than anything and have been very compliant with my 7 day high protein low carb diet (down 6.2 pounds). Just need to know if I am the only one out there who is scared and super emotional.
