DeAna N

I'm on my way to the the hospital for my surgery. Good luck to those of you also being banded today!

And then I can start getting everything ready for the 16th!! I'm so excited. Is it weird that I'm not nervous?? I've always been the type to just get it done, when it came to scary stuff etc. there's no turning back, I'm leaving the past.

I wasn't nervous till I really started to think. About being cut open. Yikes. I'm really excited, but not gonna lie about being nervous. I'm in really good health( beside being overweight) and feeling wonderful after losing 21 preop lbs. I'm nervous, cause I have 3 kids I need to come home too, that need me. But I'm putting all my trust in God. He's yet to interven and make me change my mind. So I'm doing this 100%. My surg is wend. Good luck to you!

Fat_Librarian, Westie love, CB2 good luck tomorrow I am praying for you a quick and easy surgery and pain free recovery.

Good luck...... naomi82, Sarahemma94, Irhodes46, Mom2 4kidos, MszShaye, farmgirl04, ErinO'Donnell, kimeo99...I am so excited for you

I am officially banded with plication! Surgeon said everything went perfect. Keeping me overnight for observation. Other than some nausea and trapped air I'm doing great!so happy because it is gonna be so worth it!

It's official: I am banded!! The surgery and recovery have been pretty darn good so far (I am waiting for it to get more difficult -it's been too easy). I wish the rest of you all the best and hope you are as lucky as I was in getting an amazing nursing staff to take care of you!!

I officially go in for surgery on August 13th at 7am! Surgery starts at 9am! Ahhh excited and nervous and anxious all at the same time! ☺

Just got approved today. Surgery August 17...one week from today!

Finally! I GOT APPROVED!!! I am so excited I can't even control it. I have screamed, laughed, cried. I can't quit shaking. Surgrey is 5 days away! OMG!!!!!! Someone pinch me!!!!!!!!

Back from the otherwise I'm officially banded! A little sore but no issues keeping liquids down thus far. Going to just keep taking it slow. Thanks for all the well wishes! Best of luck to those going today and the rest of the month. What a journey we are on!

3.5 hours until my surgery...

Not uneducated...it's rather new! Plication is when the surgeon folds the stomach and double sutures it then puts the band on and sutures that. It gives a sleeve effect so you can loose more faster and prevents the band from slipping. It also reduces the fills you need. There are no long term studies done on it here in the US so I am kind of a guinea pig

If all goes well I'll be banded on Sept 4th:-)

WOW....Four names to add today there is 2 August bandsters going in for surgery today. Please join the August 2012 Bandster group. Good Luck to everyone

Westie love, CB2 good luck today I am so excited for you

I saw my dietician and weight loss center nurse today. One week until surgery and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm super excited though. I've lost 30 pounds since May and can't wait to lose more!!!! Good luck August Bander's!!

This is bored eating, try and stay away from it.

I'm actually 8/9, but thanks for the well-wishes, I will keep them for Thursday! Can't wait to get off the pre-op diet and hopefully be full more often then not. I'm starting to have food-related dreams where I'm FORCED to eat greasy, unhealthy food! :-p
Good luck to everyone!!
