Hi,
I'm scheduled for May 18th! Very close to your date. Like your husband, I have the band, but luckily mine is problematic enough that it's a medical necessity to have it removed. I start my pre-op diet on the 4th, the same day as my pre-op appt. I must say that I'm nervous yet excited about the journey. I'm nervous because I've been through this WLS journey before with the expectation of full success, but I only achieved half the results I was hoping for. I'm trying to have a more positive outlook this time, hoping to finally achieve my dream!
