Good luck to you! Seems normal to be nervous. I am sure you put a lot of thinking/planning into this so relax. My surgery is on the 20th. We will soon be one step closer to our goal!

My surgery is the 20th of June! I keep reminding myself this is a long term goal with lots of ups and downs. Relax, we are on our way! SOON! How is your pre-op diet going? I am finding it to be a bit of a challenge but I am following it.

I recently chose the lap band, my surgery is set up for June 20, 2014. The reason I chose it over the others is because of the risk involved from the surgery. If nothing else, it seems like the safest way to start and hopefully be the help I need.

For me the thing that led me to lapband rather than the others was less risk involved.

I am on day 4 of a two week pre-op diet. I admit, it s REALLY hard. I can only have chike shakes, broth, Water and sugar free drinks.I have not cheated and don't plan to but honestly it has ran through my mind. I try to think of it as if I can't do it now how will I ever be successful. Regardless, do better because you know better. I think everyone suffers through it and before long we will be able to eat actual food. It is just part of our process. Looks like your surgery was today. I hope it went well!
