Sammy,

i'm on day two of pre-op with surgery date of the 15th. What have you done for pre-op?

Any March bandsters out there? I just got a March 15th date, after 10 months of waiting and participating in program to meet insurance reqs.

hi Fern, just sent you a note - but my surgery date is for 3/15/2010 also. Where are you having your procedure done?

I'm going to Mexico. Are you on your pre-op diet yet?

I'm on day 2 of liquids and it's soooo hard - but I've gotten a lot done around the house in these last two days. It's a wonder how motivated you are to do other things when eating isn't filling up your days lol....:smile2:

keep in touch,

-Bianca

Fern, my date is March 15th too! Yay for us!!!! :sad:

hi Ashli,

I'm being banded on the 15th of March as well. checked out your blog - I can totally relate to how you feel. have you started your pre-op diet yet? what are your plans for the diet? I've gotten my lean cuisines and Protein Drinks but haven't officially started.

My date is for March 15!!!! It's unreal that it is almost here. I cant wait to start my life over.

i'm March 15th scheduled with dr oritiz in TJ Mexico. where are you having your surgery?

Hi Fern,

My surgery date is March 22nd and I can't wait!!!! I am finding it harder to control myself closer to the surgery date. I am having my surgery done in Mexico because I am self pay so there isn't as much doctor patient interaction before hand. I have gained a few pounds in the last few weeks because I have been eating so much. Feel like I will never be able to eat normal again....which I know isn't true. I have three more weeks until my pre-op diet. I have started to taper down a bit.

I find that I am really excited and scared and nervous. But I know that I am making the right choice. I cannot wait until the pounds start creeping down! Does anyone else feel like this is the start of a new life. I seem to be putting things off until after the surgery. Like getting my hair highlighted for example. It is like I feel like there isn't a point right now. I actually feel more ashamed about my weight now than I ever did before and sort of like I cannot do anything until after the surgery. I know this is not a healthy mindset. Does anyone else feel like this?

I can totally relate. My surgery date is 3/15/10 and after being on prednisone for a an unrelated issue I ended up putting on about 10lbs. I'm back down to my original pre-surgery weight but haven't lost any of my weight for surgery as of yet and I only have 3 weeks left. I also keep thinking about what life will be like after the band, putting things off like starting to work out etc....until after surgery. I dont think this mind set is good and it's only making time go even slower. :sad: any encouraging words from anyone that's been here before would surely help.
