I'm on day 6 of my pre-op and it's actually going really well. I agree that you have to be in the right 'head space". And truly, if we want something bad enough we dig deep and make it work. This forum is tremendously encouraging and in itself a great "tool" for success.

Wow, congratulations. You're post is very encouraging. Was it everything you expected? I'm being banded May 5 and hope to be in your shoes about a year from now.

Thanks for your post Astrasmom. I am being banded May 5th and seem to have all of the anxiety, optimism, fear, excitement and boy I could just go on and on as everyone else. Your post help me feel that I have made the right decision for me. And really, anything really good in life has to be worth working for. :biggrin: Katie

Am I am being banded on May 5th, and have had a few business functions that I will just say docs have told me to avoid alcohol for the next couple of months to monitor hormone levels. Say whatever it takes so you don't feel awkward. This is a lifelong decision and will really have to start adapting now!

Hi there, I'm new to the site and will be banded May 5. Can't wait and also can't believe all the emotions I'm feeling..........
