I'm getting banded on Thursday too! But thankfully everyone I've told, and there have only been a few, have stuck by me and supported me!

Thanks! I'm starting to get nervous, but I think I'm more concerned about not doing the pre op diet

So I'm getting banded on Thursday. And it has been a BATTLE! Today I finally got my admission forms and blood work papers, which means I have to have my tests tomorrow. And with all that I was told to start my 2 week pre op diet (what the?) so I rang my doctor freaking out, she rang my surgeon to find out what the hell is going on? After a few hours they got back to me saying its ok that I didn't do the diet I just have to get my blood work done tomorrow. So everything IS finally going ahead.
