I'm June 10 as well. Your story sounds a lot like mine. I had the same thoughts about eating this past week end, do I really want this? I'm not a grazer either, I have a meat-tooth. This pre-op sucks, but I think about my son, and I want be around for him. We got this man, good luck, and thanks for sharing your story, I needed that right now!

Sad to leave the April bunch. Surgery got postponed til June. Good luck to all of you though.

Good luck.

Thanks all. Everything happens for a reason. I'm just ready to get it done!

My surgeon's office just called to tell me that they were going to reschedule my surgery until June. I'm so bummed, I had psyched myself up. Something about one of the Dr.'s people not being there to assist. Man. Bummed out.

I am going in on April 8th. I feel just like y'all do, but we will be so much better off in a few months!

Thanks. I was planning on doing it in may, but the doc said he had a slot on the 8th. Otherwise it was going to be mid-may. I just have to start my pre-op today. I thought I would have more time to mentally prepare. Maybe it is a blessing to just have to start today, I was kinda spending to much time thinking of farewell meals. Let's do it.

Just found out I am getting my band on April 8. Start Pre-op today. Just around the corner. Very nervous, but very excited. This forum has helped a lot.

Just found out I got my insurance approval. Just got "real" to me. Nervous, but ready to drop some lbs! I know it will be tough at times, but worth it to be healthy. Not too hype on the pre-op. It's reassuring to see that others make it through.

I hear you, but I think it will be worth it in the end. I have a son now, so I guess being healthy for him will be better than eating like boss. I have my nutritionist appt on mon. So I'm right there with you.

Make that "jump". Ha! iPhone keypad.

I just had my psych eval, and go to the nutritionist on 3/11. After that it is just wait for insurance approval. I'm using Dr. Ferrara in Ft worth, Tx, he seems like a good guy and I have heard good things. I'm getting nervous and going through some doubts, but reading some of the stories here has helped my wrap my head around it. Just wanted to introduce myself and get any words of wisdom from y'all. Not really looking forward to the pre-op diet, but I guess it is what it is.
