I'm being banded on the 29th of April. Excited

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!

April 1st for me.. on mainly liquid with a light high protein, low carb/fat meal once a day for the first pre-op diet week, second week 6 days of liquid meal replacement and one day before clear liquids only. I'm excited, nervous and hungry all at once. Have lost 7 lbs altogether so far.

Hi I am on my two week liquid diet now! My surgery is scheduled for April 1st I am so ready for the day to get here!!!!! :lol: :lol: :D :D

Hi all! April 13th is my date. I'm excited to get started!

Mine is April 5th as well. Good luck and congrats!

Got my approval yesterday; started pre op today and surgery on the 18th. Very excited! Has anyone else's Dr. told them to do the Slim Fast diet? 2 shakes a day and 1 light meal?
