Hi Jaynell, sure we can go through this together. I'm wondering about my preop testing and the diet. I'm not sure exactly what tests I will have. I'm taking off 2 weeks from work just to make sure I heal properly, but who knows, maybe I will be back to work sooner if all goes well. Did they tell you how long the healing process is? I'm not sure, I think it's the same band, the realize band. My current weight is 240. I was 249, so I lost 9 lbs. so far.

Hi Joann, I'm Laurie and my surgery is Dec. 5th the day after yours. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I like the name December Stars. I'm wondering what pre-op diet I will be on. I started trying to diet since June and drinking protein shakes already and I've lost 11 lbs so far. Dancing is my exercise. I love to dance just to my cd's. I also bought the Zumba tapes which is latin dancing to try it out. Some of the steps now are difficult, but they do have a few I can do. Drop me a line sometime. Laurie

My surgery date is December 5, 2008. I'm excited to start my new journey. I'm also a bit nervous, which is to be expected. I know I have a long ways to go and am welcome to any support from those who are in the same boat as me.:smile2:
