WHooo hoo!!!! I am officially going to be an OCTOBER Bandster!! I get my band on the 29th! I am ECSTATIC! I had all of my pre testing yesterday! I had to do a EKG (harmless) some blood work (also harmless) and an Upper GI (harmless but YUCK!:smile:) hahah that Barium drink is horrible!! It was so thick and chalky! But it was well worth it! I think I would do it once a week just so I can have the band! hahaha I hope everyone else has a great journey!:grouphug:
