I am so close to getting a date for my surgery, and I am fustrated beyond belief cause I don't know my date.... I know it will be in Nov, but I hate not knowing.... :tt1: I signed my paperwork yesterday and got the pre-op prep.... 2 days of liquids, (clear liquids). I am so excited, and nervous too. I can't wait to know..... I should have a date tuesday! :tongue_smilie:

Are you going to dr steinberg?? That who is doing my surgery. I don't have a date yet but should next week. I hope to find out soon! I am anxious and excited! Is your family in the military? Keri

Thank you so much for the support. I am truely greatful. I think that I will be just fine, I am scared of surgery, and waking up and pain. BUt I am a tough cookie. I have 4 kids so I can't be down to long. I have 2 sets of natural twins. I am not only doing this for me but for them too. I want to be there for a long time, and more active. I do got to the gym about 4 days a week. I plan on getting there more after the surgery. I love the eliptical and the treadmill. Thanks again! Keri

I am a nurse, so I have some knowledge of what is expected of me, and the "fun" things I have to do before surgery. I have been pricing the whey protein and getting ready to make my final selection. I am nervous. About being around food again. What if it clogs, erosion....?? All the possible problems. Thank you so much for listening Keri

Hello all I am Keri, I am 31, and was recently approved for Lapband surgery last wednesday. I have struggled with my weight loss since puberty. I have been talking about WLS since 2005, and have decided that it is time. I am meeting with my Doctor on friday to sign consent papers, and hopefully making a date for the surgery. I am married to the best soldier in the world, and have 2 sets of Natural twins. I want to be the best wife and mommy ever, and if know that my weight had held me back. I hope to make some great friends here. Feel free to share your experiences with me, and if you have any tips, I am open to learning them. Thank you! Keri :thumbup:
