Its 5am and time to leave for my surgery. Not nervous at all, just cold :eek: I lost 5 lbs just on the day before liquid diet!!! I could lose 15 lbs in 3 days of liquids!!! I know, not true. Good luck to all the others today PJ

Good Luck to all use 28th'ers!!!! 2 days away

I have been watching also. I am 5'9" and 260. I asked my wife last night if I look like that guy with the big man boobs -black team- he weighed about 260 and she said yes, without the boobs!!!! I don't see myself that way/BIG. SCARY

I am doing great!!! I am SUPER excited too. I have had knee surgery, but I don't think that is comparable to this. My Dr will put me on full liquids when I come home. My wife has found some fantastic protein powder, so I am looking forward to some protein drinks.

Crystal, you and I are Monday also, you getting nervous yet???

Chrisann, your doing great 25# in 3 weeks. I hope to do that great myself!!! Great Job

Tween, is the 14# lost since the surgery date or include a pre diet??

Elaine, I am from Tusc also. I am going to be banded on the 28th by Dr Bilton from right here in TTown. Have you checked on him? He did the RNY on the wife 12/19, she is doing great, but the weightloss seems slow. 22 lbs in 4 weeks

I will be banded 1/28 also!!!

Hello Group - Newbie here!!! I am PJ from Tuscaloosa and I am going to be banded on Jan 28th by Dr. Bilton of University Surgical Associates here in Tuscaloosa. He has been doing the RNY for years but next month will make 1 year that he has been doing the bands. He is great, very personable and has a great office staff. I have been looking into this for 13 months now. I have UHC and was approved right away when applied for in May 07. But, my wife was planning on it also and has BCBC/AL and had to do the 7 month thing. I wanted to wait and do together. Well she had her RNY done 12/26/07 and I now have to wait cause of work problems. Looking foward to it.
