Will do.....!!!

I'm scheduled to be banded this Friday...9/24...any tips??? I'm excited and nervous at the same time! How do you feel? Feel free to email me! Nancy*

The doctor just started requiring 2 weeks of liquid diet before the surgery. It's driving me crazy!!!..I just completed week 1....Surgery is on the 24th. 2 -3 weeks of liquids after the surgery then soft foods...No solid food for 5 weeks or more!!! YIKES!!! I am afraid I will go crazy when I do finally get to eat!! right now my stomach is normal size so I am hungry all the time....but after the banding, it will be smaller so I hope to not be as hungry....how did all of you make it thru the first 1-2 months????? Nancy

Any tips on last minute preparations before I go in to get banded? From Warren, MI here.....Love that name WhippleDaddy "Bandsters" :-)

The big day is September 24th!!! Know any local Support groups in the Metro Detroit area??? Nancy*

...I will join the ranks of the "banded" and I am so excited...yet scared a little at the same time.....I have fought for this surgery and now it's finally coming true....I know it's not MAGIC....but it will finally give me the chance to be healthy again!! I turned 50 on the 24th and it's the BEST birthday gift I could have ever received! I attended a Lap Band Support Group meeting last night for the first time and so glad I did. I got to hear first hand all sides of the experience....any tips from you now that you've gone through this??? Nancy
