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 decided to only tell my mother. My mom certainly isn't a vault when it comes to keeping secrets but she knows that I am a private person and don't want to share this with anyone. I hope she throws away the key on it!

LOL...I completely understand what you are saying. I specifically didn't tell my father because he can't keep a secret to save his life. If he knows then everyone he has ever met in his life will know too...that's just the way he is...

Hi everyone. I belong in this group! I'm scheduled on December 13, 2010!!

Supposed to be banded tomorrow (Nov. 2) but got postponed due to tonisilitis. Hopefully, I'll be banded mid-December

I most likely will be banded sometime in December. I am so excited and anxious. I have told my husband and daughters and my true best friends. This will be the best Christmas present to me. :thumbup:

Hello all december peeps. I was supposed to be banded in november however my primary doc took to long to get everything in order so now I'm scheduled for december 27 its a late christmas gift.

I had my last visit with nutritionist and exercise consultant today. I've got a surgery date of December 20th. Starting to think this is going to happen. :thumbup:

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery on December 1st. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time...first surgery EVER! Good luck and I look forward to starting this journey with all of u!

That's awesome, I'll be so happy when I finally get my date. Will know next month.

Dec. 7 Here!!!!!!!!! so close yet so far....

excited to join this community of lap band!!!

I should be getting banded in December if everything goes as plan. Hoping for the second week of December.

I should be banded in early December too! I am really excited and as you can see from my name I am ready for a NewBee --new me. I have only told my husband, mother and one friend. I really don't want it to go further than that but I am trying to figure how I will hide my eating pureed food over the holiday. I suppose I could pretend my stomach hurts or something and not eat....

I hope we all can chat about our experience as Dec10 group!

I was tentatively scheduled for Nov 23rd but I got the call yesterday that it is most definitely going to be December 8th. Now I'm set in stone!!!

My birthday is Nov 20th so I was hoping to get it done sooner, but I'm not going to complain!!

Good luck all!

I, too, am going to be a December "bandster". Just got my date of December 7th. I'm so excited and also consider this to be an early Christmas present. My doctor usually requires a 10-14 day pre-op liquid diet, but I only have to do it for 7 days because I've lost 25 pounds already. I'm glad to be having a "normal" Thanksgiving and hopefully be well enough to participate in my usual Christmas activities (well, except for the overeating. ha ha ha).

I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa!

Hey there everyone, just got back from my Dr and my date has been set Dec 15th super excited and scared!!!

Took the Hpylori test and the venus doppler today.. All thats left is the last supervised visit and the letter from my PCP.. HOPEto be banded during holidays...also down 1 pound. Will try to.lose 10 more. On my way so sxcited.
