I'm am almost 3 months post op and I lost 38 lbs. It is the most amazing feeling in the world. Changing my life one pound at a time

Just got done with my pre-surgery meeting. 10am on Feb 21st I go under the knife !!! Surgeon gave me a script for liquid hydrocodone & some anti-nausea suppository.

BTW - two weeks on Adkins pre-surgery diet and I have lost 12lbs.

Nice!!! Good luck!

Good luck. Keep us posted

Yay!!!! Good luck

I was approved and my surgery date is scheduled for February 28th.. This is also my Birthday@@.. A new life style for me.. I'm excited and yet a bit scared but I have all the support on this site to help me overcome the fear.. I will start my liquid diet on the 14th and my pre-opt appointment is set for the 21st. best of luck to all the new bandsters and look forward to your support.

thanks

Congrats on your date. I am scheduled on the 27th my pre op appt is on the 14th. I started my liquids today and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I was surprised the Protein Shakes weren't as bad as I anticipated. My brain thinks I'm hungry but I'm really not. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time and the only emotion I am feeling at this point is excitement that its finally going to happen. Good luck and keep us posted. I could sure use a surgery buddy. Maybe we can help each other since our dates are back to back. Let the count down begin!!!

Same here!

Yay!!!!! Congrats

I start my liquid diet on the 13th too. Hope everything goes well

Great!!! I'm thinking "Band Buddy"

Feb 14th is my lucky day......can't wait....im tired of all liquids already......only 6 more days to go!!!!!!!

Congrats. Stay focused. Start my liquid diet on 2/13/13. Have you lost any weight since starting on liquids?

My day is Tuesday the 22nd and would love to keep in touch with everyone banded in January to share experiences' date=' motivate each other and lend support. I chose not to tell any friends because I have not one who is remotely overweight and I didn't think any of them would understand my struggle. My mom and husband are the only one's who know and it's very lonely not shareing all of this with more people. Congratulations and Good Luck to all the January Bandsters!![/quote']

I completely relate. My mother has actually been my biggest supporter. My husband has finally come around. So I am thankful for that. I get banded on 2/27/13 and I am soooo ready.

So my surgery date is scheduled for 2/27/13 and I am super excited. I am new to this process so I am thrilled that I am not alone. I don't have anyone close to me that has had this procedure done, so learning through all of you guys is really great. Good luck to all of you.

im feb 15.... feeling nervious and excited!' date='[/quote']

I am scheduled on 2/27... New to the forum, not sure if I'm doing this right
