Have my surgery date soon, lost my preop weight and am ready to go. Anyone else on this date?

I am... Only a couple days to go... I am getting a bit more nervous but excited too. Just want to get to a point where I can eat something. Even healthly, mushy... WHATEVER...

I am in Minnesota.

Hi I'm new to the forum, I go on the 28th.. doing the pre op diet and lost 11 pound so far but I'm sooo hungry, roll on Wednesday.

I am!!!! I am getting excited and nervous too. Got stuff at work figured out.....kids schedules all set....and now I am thinking and dreaming and am ready to go. I even gave myself "the last supper" tonight...goodbye pasta.....I had my favorite rigatoni pasta and meatballs tonight. SIGH.....goodbye ol' friend.

I just took the plunge on the 19th. All I can say is be ready. Be ready to be hungry, irritable, frustrated, nauseated, tired from no sleep, in pain, and did I mention hungry? But after all that, I still believe it is worth it and I look forward to re-reading all my posts next year and giggling to myself. :thumbup: I just keep telling myself everyday for example today I said, "This is my very last April 26th shopping in the plus size section. Every April 26th after this one will be better." And that seems to help me. Good luck to all of you and I wish you the best. Keep us all posted! This website is a Godsend seriously.

congrats on your successes already! I feel like I have everything I need to get to surgery...recovering is another story. I hope it goes "smoothly!"....

24 hours from now I am to be starting my Lap Band surgery. I do have some butterflies in my stomach. Anyone else?

I hope things go well and I am able to get home.

Really looking forward to life as normal too. But know it is going to take some time.

Down about 17lbs when I started my pre-op liquid diet.

Hello all, I am getting banded tomorrow morning at 7:30am. I am scared out of my mind :scared2:

Dont be scared, it's a simple surgery and you will wake up sore but fine. Just remeber to walk walk walk right away ... it will help with the gas pain. I was walking around my neighborhood the day I got home.

well, here goes nothing! I am getting banded today at 1:20. Got to be at the hospital by 11:20. Feeling all kinds of emotions in the last couple of days....fear of complications to surgery and how that would affect my kids/husband, fear of failure...hope for a new beginning...excited to have this chance....etc....

I am trying to think positive thoughts and enjoy this day and a day for ME! :thumbup:

See you on the flip side guys! I am bringing my laptop because I have to stay the night in the hospital....so I will update later!

I got banded yesterday. They also found a hernia to fix while in there too.

I am a good bit sore and my chest cavity feels full of gas. Deep breaths are not easy. I hope this all passes soon.

I haven't been taking much for pain meds because I don't like that loopy tired feeling. Might need some for sleep tonight.

How is everyone else doing?
