That is great Sophie! I am on the 19th - started the liquid diet today! I will have to go onto the Facebook page - thanks for letting us know about it!

My date is the 27th. No pre-op diet with this doctor. Apprehensive about eating slowly and not "chugging" Water.< /p>

Surgery is done! I had mine yesterday at about 9 am and went home last night at about 1100 pm. Very little soreness. I'm glad the day finally came. Have been waiting for this day for a long time and now it has happened.

Congrats as well Jon! Sounds like it went well. Best of luck with your recovery - glad to hear from someone on the other side!

Congrats Jon! I hope you are doing well! I am going to get my band on May 18th and CAN'T WAIT!! I started my 1200 calorie diet on May 4th and am starving! Luckily I only have to be on liquids for 2 days pre-op. I'm excited to find everyone on this site and sounds like a lot of us will be banded the same week!:thumbup:

:cool2:To all my fellow May Bandsters:

Had my surgery on 5/3 and woke up in recovery to hear my DR say, "I am so sorry, but we were not able to band you today. You had too much scar tissue on stomach and bowel. We had to clean you out and now we have to wait for you to heal for 2 months and then we can try this again"!!

REALLY!! That stung.....AND HURT!!

But I will have to wait and now be a July Bandster. Thanks for all your stories and I will keep on looking to see how everyone is doing!! :thumbup:

I'm so sorry, that's disappointing. Now you have a new date to look forward to and hope for. Don't be too discouraged, It wasn't time and it didn't happen. It will come in 2 months and everything will be fine.

Tomorrow is my day and up until now I've been calm. I am truly scared today. I've never had any form of surgery and outside if weight issue I only have sleep apnea. It will also be my first stay at a hospital which I have to do because of my sleep apnea. I think ill be up all night. I'm starring to het somewhat scared.

Wow, that sounds like a fun FB group I may have to join, Thanks for the heads up.

I have lost 10 lbs on my pre op diet so far, it seems so real and possible now. Surgery in just a few days :confused: *happy dance*

Ms. Determined, hang in there, you're almost there! Let us know how it goes tomorrow!

Amie226, I'm in the same boat - never had surgery before, and my only non-weight issue is sleep apnea too (though that's a weight-related issue). I'm sure it will be hard to sleep tonight, but maybe try to focus on the long-term goal and why you're doing this in the first place. If nothing else, know that you're not alone - we're all pulling for you and hoping you'll report back soon from the other side to give us support!
