Just wanted to wish all October bandsters luck. I know many of us will be starting our pre-op diet today. My surgery is the 6th and I start my diet thursday. We have all worked hard to get here and our journey has started. I know we will all do great.

Hello My October Bandsters!!!

Just wanted to share a victory with you all... Well I met my 1st goal... So about 3 wks I turned on my Wii game n went thru my past weigh-ins on Wii Fit. I was so shocked when I discovered that I was 42lbs lighter back in February 2011. It sometimes seems so unrealistic that we can gain weight that fast. Well, on that same day 3wks ago when I wanted to see how much I had gained... so stepped on the Wii Fit Board & my heart sank when I was told I was over the weight limit for the Wii Board (330lbs maximum weight) & the computer asked me to step off the board.

Well, I'm down 13.9lbs n the Wii Board is No Longer Rejecting Me!!! So excited!!! Might not seem like much but to me it was the best thing ever!!! So overly excited to finally be moving forward with-in my Journey #ThisIsOnlyTheBeginning

:success1:

Here's to many more victories!

Well I am finally there. Tomorrow is my surgery. I am both excited and apprehensive.

Thank you to all my lapband pals for helping me to get to this place. I know that I am more at ease with the actual surgery and recovery because of you. And I hope we will all continue to share our WL journeys.

See you all on the other side.

I went in for all of my preop testing today and also started my 7 days of clear liquids. Still hard to believe this is all happening in the next week! I'm excited but still nervous. Ready for the 26th to get here.

i'm going for pre op on Oct 25 and having surgery Oct. 31st!

Hello to all!

Got my date for my long awaited lap band! Oct 31! Looking forward to a healthier me! Good luck to all!

Going tomorrow morning 7:30am. Nervous and excited at the same time. This time tomorrow I'll be BANDED! Whoop!

Well, I got banded yesterday and had my umbilical hernia repaired at the same time. I don't have a lot of pain except when getting up and down and adjusting my position. I only had to ask for pain medicine once. I was so happy to be discharged; I just got home a few minutes ago. Trying to fend off the kitten who likes to jump on me; I feel like a goalie in a soccer game! LOL! I am glad I did it but will be glad when all the soreness goes away.

me too also halloween!

Me Three! I just got approved for surgery on Halloween too!

Tomorrow is Birthday Band Day!!! I can't believe it's finally here! I have been a little anxious over the last week, but after meeting with my surgeon today . . . . I'm ready to get 'er done! He didn't sugar coat anything, but my appt lasted two hours! I feel very informed and very much confirmed in my decision to do this! I will try to post tomorrow after surgery! Yay me and everybody else who's entering Bandland tomorrow!

I got my surgery appointment confirmed this afternoon. I check in at 4:30 AM for 6:30 AM surgery on the 25th. Think I'm the first surgery of the day . It's starting to feel real now, just a few days away.

I know what you mean. I still find it pretty weird I have this thing in my body.
