I Dr. said, that I am likely to have my band completed in December. I really hope everything else goes great, as I am ready to bring in the new year with a NEW ME. I am still not quite open about the surgery, in fact no one knows but me. I may tell my husband, as the timeline approaches, but the closer I get the more excited I feel.

I'll be banded Dec 7th! Thats what I keep saying, A new year a new me! Maybe our dates will be around the same time :puke: I would tell your husband soon. You'll need the support, espically during those times when you'll start to freak out!

Mine is tentatively Dec 20th so it will be an early Christmas gift to myself!! And I can't wait to start the New Year as a new ME!! My wife is just as excited as I am about it. She is also more scared than me. I'm not telling anyone else but her.

I, myself will be banded hopefully in Dec! Im waiting for the 3 month diet that insurance requires to be over and then hopefully end of Nov I will know when my surgery date is. Im a bit scared but excited. Im also thinking bout not being able to eat on xmas or drink on nye :laugh: I hate waiting wish I could have done it earlier but the months are flying. This weekend I go in for my 2nd month follow-up and plan to schedule an early nov appt. ughhhh frustrating.

This is true. My husband doesn't think I need it. He believes that because I have a very atheletic build and use to work out, that I should do that again, and I'll be fine.

I too have two more visits and I am done with the nutrionist. I have completed. I am waiting on my PCP's letter, and the HPylori test. I'm kinda glad I'm having during the holiday's caz normally it would be and excuse to eat.

I'm set for Dec. 2nd. I agree early xmas present to myself. I have had a couple conversations at work about my change. One person told me I was crazy! I told her I was happy I wasn't doing it for her. My life, my rules and my change. Can't wait!:laugh:

Thank you for your help. I will try it right now. Congratulations on your date and good luck to you. Hope to talk to you after our surgery!

I'm scheduled for Mid/late December like the week of Christmas. I can't wait either. I started my diet on Monday and then after Thanksgiving I will be on my pre-op diet. Is anyone feeling like "last supper" feeling when it comes to certain foods? I can't shake it as things become more real. To chocolatecity, I understand where you are coming from only 4 people in my life , but you do need the support of your husband if not anyone else. Plus, my surgeon office requires 2 family pledged support, does anyone else?

I know, I will likely tell him. Yes, I love ice-cream but I am lactose intolerant and everytime I eat it, I get really bad cramps and pain in my stomach. My doc does not require 2 family pledged support. I am just waiting to finish the supervised diets so that I can get a date.
