hey!...i am too. =) i was supposed to be banded on the 12th but my insurance didnt approve yet. soo the 23rd it is...r u nervous? cuz i am

Hey! I'm a college sophomore and my major is Political science. This is a rly cool thread to start because I am getting banded on Monday, the 12th, and I am going back to school on the 21st. I too was thinking of what i can eat on the go. And also, I am not planning on telling anyone only my immediate family knows. So how do I hide the fact that i'm not eating?

thats sounds simple enough =) thanx...I'm very nervous too and i keep thinking about backing out. I know i'm going to be REALLY scared the day of. i hope they can give me something to calm down too

yea thats true. thanx for the info!

thank you so much for responding. The only thing i didnt like was the catheter part...do u think i can ask not to have it? lol

Wow! I can't believe monday will be 2 weeks before my surgery. I have mixed feelings about the surgery, but for the most part i'm excited! I am starting my pre-op diet on Monday and I hope to be down another couple of pounds before my surgery. There couldn't be a better way to kick off the New Year! ...and i'm greatful =)

hey! I'm from New York <3

Hey guys! For all of you who have been banded already, what should i expect the day of surgery? I've never had surgery before, so I don't know what's going to happen when I first get there. I'm just curious as to how they prepare you for surgery. Thanx! :thumbup:

Thanks so much Susan. I have been sort of looking into it and trying to learn as much as I can and this website is just amazing!

Shelley2b--that's awesome! I hope i recover that quickly!

My highest weight is 277 and I am 5"4..I'm also worried about excess skin..=/

wow! Good Luck!

hey. I also feel like am younger than most people here. But dont worry. I feel the same way about my surgery. Mine is in 2 weeks and the closer it gets the more nervous I get, but everythign will be fine. You'll see. Keep me posted on how ur surgery goes. When is it?
