I get my band tomorrow. I am both excited and nervous. I hope that I have just as good luck like most of you that I have been reading about. Down 11 lbs in 2 weeks.

Congrats Jess!!! I'm scheduled on the 26th! Keep in touch

Me too! I am sooooo nervous and excited at the same time. I don't have family that is very supportive but have great friends that will help me through! I know we can do this!!! Can't wait to start my new life. good luck to all of us :rolleyes:

Mgottberg,

Good luck tomorrow! You'll do great! Great job on losing 11 lbs so far!

28th 7:30 am is my date and time

20 hrs to go

Getting a little jittery but not bad

I'm right there with you. I report in tomorrow, the 28th at 9 to get my band installed. Feeling good. Did some bicep curls and tricep pull downs in the hotel gym after sneaking in some tomato bisk soup for my last meal. The fast begins at midnight. Good luck to everybody.

I go in tomorrow on April 29th! Oh I can't wait, but I hope I can sleep good tonight. This whole week I haven't slept good and I am so tired! Also had to be on a pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks and/or could do like a adtkins diet thing alittle, so had all liquids yesterday, today is all clear liquids and then at 4pm the fun begins! NOT! I get to drink this stuff that "Cleans" you out. Did anyone have to do this also? Its fine, but hope it is over sooner than later! I go in at 6:30 tomorrow morning so less than 24 hrs to go. When I started this journey I thought this day was never going to come and now its less than 24 hrs away. Oh I am so glad. It really did go fast! Congrats to everyone that has made it here.
