I really want to wish all of our November bandsters the best of luck! This is going to be such an exciting time for us, and we all must remember to be strong and know this will be the best thing we do for ourselves!! You have all been so informative and supportive, and I am so grateful to have all of you walking this road with me. I am looking forward to seeing all of you on the "other side" of the boards...The Post-op side! I'll be there on November 11!! See ya there really soon!!:thumbup: :smile2:

I just got my date 11/23 Good Luck to All:thumbup:

I am the same date. 11/22/10. Scared but excited and just want to get through this safely and see remarkable results. And you?

I am having my surgery on 11-22 as well! I have my pre-op appt and nutrition class tomorrow. I pick up my pre-op diet stuff too.....I am more afraid of how I will get through the diet than the surgery! I am excited and ready to lose this excess weight.

Well, my big day is tomorrow morning at 8:30am. I'm starting to feel a little nervous anxiety for the first time.

Hi I was banded Nov. 2nd and that day I came home and I had the worst gas pain, I couldn't even move or take deep breaths. Today is not as bad but I am still very sore. I was giving vicodin for pain but have not taken it because I am afraid of throwing up. (i have a weak stomach for strong meds). I haven't had much of an appetite for eating much so have only had popcicles and some broth but thats it. I had lost 17 pounds on the pre-op diet. I am just looking forward to be able to get back to my regular life. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Good Luck to you all.

Ditto...i go in on Monday to get my liquid diet and vitamins...I'm gonna be realistic...i'm gonna allow myself 2 cheat meals both on Saturdays...i figure if i'm on point 90% of the time...i'll be successful.
