I posted my first message on 11/26, the day before I was to start my liquid diet. That felt like the first day getting banded was finally going to happen. Then I got a call that afternoon saying my hospital was doing away with their bariatric program, but they'd try to get me into another program. Talk about disappointed. My surgery was scheduled for 12/11. I started my liquids anyway and just found out this afternoon that a doctor with another program has agreed to do my surgery on 12/12. Whew! I meet him on Monday, but everything looks like it's a go ahead. So, I'm back and posting!

Thanks Babyfever. This seems like a great bunch from what I've been reading. I took my "before picture" this morning. I start my 2-week liquid diet tomorrow. I plan on taking another before picture right before I leave for the hospital on the day of my surgery. I've been avoiding pictures the last few years. Wow! Do I need this surgery! What a motivator to make it through the pre-diet.

Greetings Holiday Hotties! That appears to be the chosen name. I've just finished reading through all 13 pages of this thread and was excited to see a couple of fellow December 11th bandsters on page 12. This is my first post. I started my journey in March and had several tentative dates, only to have hold-ups. Now that I've pre-registered, signed my consent, had my nutrition classes, gotten the final "go ahead" by the internist, etc. I feel confident the December 11th date is final. Woo hoo! Mind if I join the group?
