Pati,

Thanks for sharing. When is your surgery? Donna

Pati,

Let me know if there is any unexpected information or things to do after your visit with the surgeon today. Donna

Shamrockgirl and All You other August All Stars who are freaking out,

I noticed that you are 60 years old and I am 61. I am nervous about my age, but think I need to get control and live the rest of my life in a healthier state. My surgery is August 15th and my prop diet starts August 1. I don't know if I am more nervous about the surgery or the pr-op diet. This is such a tremendous change for us. I too am embarrassed by the fact that I have gotten so out of control and made the decision not to tell many people, but I did tell me family. They are very supportive.

I thought about telling people that I am on a new liquid diet when they ask why I am not eating. If they ask any further questions, which I don't think people will, I will then decide what to answer. None of your business is ok for a response.

I am anxious to hear how the surgery goes for those of you who are having it at the beginning of August. I will pray for the success of all the August All Stars. Donna

Hi!! Is anyone getting banded in August? I'm getting banded August 1st. Maybe we can share our stories & successes and be there for each other if needed. Thanks!! Good luck to all!!

My surgery date is August 15th and I am nervous. I don't know what to expect. After reading some of the postings here, I am getting discouraged.
