Hi, I'm Tina. I'm supposed to be banded at the end of April( no date yet). I'm very excited, and slightly nervous. I'd love to have someone to help me stay on track, and to go through the ups and downs I'm sure are to come. I'm very determined to do this right and make the most of it. I'm sure the necessary change in diet is going to be the hardest part as I love Pasta and pasteries! But, determined I am, so I'd love help doing what's best for me!

I meet w/ surgeon next Tuesday to schedule the big day and hopefully I will be on board with the April bandsters!!

Hi Kayla! My name is Tina, and I live in Bedford, Tx so we're almost next door neighbors. I don't have a date set yet, but they told me mid to end of April. It's kinda comforting to know there's someone really close going through it too. Do you have anyone to exercise with? By exercise I mostly mean walking for now. Maybe we can help each other through this?

All of my paperwork is being submitted to insurance this week.... I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to join all of you as an April Bandster! Good Luck everyone.

I just had mine done on Friday, April 1. I am so excited! The pain is already much better, I still have swelling, and only felt hunger for the first time today.

I usually don't give any credence to horoscopes in the paper but mine last week in the Austin Chronicle was interesting, it said:

"Your rescue is scheduled for no later than your birthday, possibly before. In the meantime, the best thing you can do to prepare for your release is to feel gratitude for all you've learned during your ordeal."

The next day I got a call from the surgeon's scheduler. The first available date they had for my lapband procedure was April 7th, my birthday. I said "I'll take it." I'm regarding it as a new beginning.

Good luck to everyone on their surgeries!

GOOSEBUMPS! It's a sign - Good Luck to us...

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!:woot:

I am just starting my pre-appointments tomorrow. I have three this week and one next week. Then I meet with the surgeon I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have about 150 lbs to lose, but I would be happy with 100, or just about anything.

@ slm2007 We have the same date, been having butterflies in my tummy for the last couple of days. Good luck and all the best.

I am getting my band on 4/15. I am very nervous.

My date is 4/15. I am very nervous

My surgery is on the 8th. I had all my pre-surgery bloodwork, EKG, Chest xray etc today, also the nutrition class. I am nervous too.

I'm just amazed there are so many of us in April! I think that's awesome, we are all going to have a lot to talk about :)

Good luck Carlene, I hope your surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery. Please keep us posted with your recovery and progress.
