I just got the word today, my surg is scheduled for April 1st..That's only 6 days before my classes start back. I think I should be ok.

Anyone else having surg in April???

My doc wants me on SugarBuster's 2 weeks prior to surg. How about you?

April 5.

Have you started freaking out yet? :thumbup: I have, making it hard to eat, etc.....that's one way to pre-op! :biggrin:

I am just still in disbelief but so so happy. When is your date?

April 5th. Everytime I think about it I start getting all light headed! Don't know if that's good or bad!

I think that may be normal.:scared2:

Our dates will be here before we know it. I tend to lose very slowly, so I am hoping that between the band and my working at it, that this 120+ lbs comes off steadily.

Answer is in profile

I believe I have right at 100 lbs to lose. I feel like I've gained since my last weigh in at the consult, but then again, after the pre op diet, I don't really know what the actual number will be.

My consult was so long ago that I'm not totally sure either.

My doc is requesting SugarBusters as the pre op diet. How about yours? We can hold each other's hands thru this...:thumbdown:

I am hoping for an April surgery date! I have a stress test and echocardiogram on 3/12/10 which is my last thing to do before submitting to insurance. I have to do a 4 week pre-op diet too.

Hey Mimi368, I'll be prying for ya. How long have you been trying for or researching the band?
