don't be upset w/yourself. we all have struggles w/food. that's why we're all here together. nov 18, wow! that's in like 2 days. just be strict for the next couple of days. you can do it!:thumbup:

hey. i haven't been banded yet, my op is on dec 8. my doctor told me that if i didn't follow the pre-op diet, they would have to cut me from the top of my chest due to my liver being too big. now, i'm not sure if thats true or if he was just trying to scare me. i have read other peoples posts on here where they went in for surgery and the doctor closed them back up because their liver wasn't small enough. :thumbup:

Dr. Matt Martin is my doctor at Central Carolina Surgery in Greensboro. I see you have been banded. How's it goin?

Hi everyone. I'm having Lap-Band in 24 days and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Everyone keeps telling me that I should've never picked this time of year because I will miss Thanksgiving and Christmas meals but the way I see it, all of those meals helped me gain over 150 pounds. I think I've had enough turkey, ham, and stuffing. lol. Anyway~ I picked a doctor here in North Carolina and he seems to know his stuff. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers on December 8th. :Dancing_sorry: December Bandit I hope...

Hey cheer up! It's okay, at least you aren't starting from the very beginning. My surgery date is December 8 too in North Carolina. I know it's hard to hear but maybe there's a reason you weren't supposed to be banded yet. We have twenty-four days before we are new and improved!:thumbup: We can be December Bandsters! Yipee!
