December 7th for me but I am not so enthusiastic as everyone else. In fact I am quite scared and nervous and a little ancy, anyone else feeling like this?

I'm nervous, sure. But I've worked toward this for so long, now that it's only a few days away, I can't wait. I'm embracing the nerves, because I've read about so many others here who have been through this, I know I'll be fine. I have a great surgeon I like and trust, and I know I'm in good hands. My family and friends are supportive, I've arranged for at least two weeks off work to recover, and I'm absolutely resigned to make this a success. Everything else is just details. ;)

I'll be smiling all the way into the operating room.

Hey everyone! I am new to the boards, but I am getting my band on December 20th!! I am stoked but nervous. I am very much looking forward to finding people from the boards or what not for support! Good luck to everyone else who is waiting or already had them done this past week.

Cheers!

I was banded December 6th as well. It's now Day 4 and I'm doing surprisingly well. The journey continues. Good luck to everyone!

I'm being banded tomorrow and I'm so nervous but I'm also so excited! I skipped out on a Christmas family get together today just so I wouldn't want to eat lol I am very blessed though that I had a surgeon that only made me do a clear liquid diet the day before surgery which is today. So, surgery tomorrow then I start full liquids Tuesday. I'm hoping I can live off of pudding, yogurt, Popsicles, hot cocoa, and Protein Shakes for two weeks! Good luck to those pre and post!! I'm ready to get this over with. I've never had anesthesia or any type of surgery. Like not a broken bone or never had a tooth pulled. That's what I'm mostly afraid of but when my wedding gets here and next Christmas when I look in the mirror it will be all worth it!!

yay for another 12/20 band buddy! i am actually glad my preop diet was 2 weeks so the post op wasn't such a shock to my system. anyone else have a lot of bruising at their incision site? mine looks like i got sucker punched or hit in the gut with a baseball, lol. i have been really good on moving and getting up and around, but i got sick the day of surgery so i am afraid to eat or drink much.

i actually had someone notice the weight loss yesterday! it was awesome! it is all about the litle things.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
