February Bandsters?

I know there's a special section for this, but it doesn't seem to be too popular so I'll give it a whirl here..

Anyone here to be banded in February besides me?

My surgery date is February 15th.

Feel free to add me on Facebook for support, etc. =]

I'm scheduled for February 24th!!! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!!!

Well, it looks like February 20th is my day. Lots of prep to do. Sooooo excited!!!!!!!

February 13th!! Can't believe it happened so fast! They submitted my paperwork to the insurance company on January 4th and got approval yesterday! So excited...very scared but excited

February 9th here, i am anxiously counting the days so exited for the day to come. I was happy to not have to worry about any pre op diet, unfortunatly i ended up gaining about 20lbs trying to get all the buffets out of my system.

I am nervous and excited as well. I definitely am not having 2nd thoughts. I started this process two yrs ago and wimped out and it's not happening again. After seeing several friends do amazing and now at goal as well as all the inspirational stories on here, I am definitive on it.

February 3rd is right around the corner - eeek!

I just picked up my 2 week supply of Opti-fast which I am totally dreading and start this Friday. I have also bought the Pre and Post Ops foods, Vitamins, supplements, Protein powders and other stuff to be prepared.

Next, I am buying Papaya Enzyme Chewables to keep here for future stuck episodes. Some people say it works, others it doesn't. I will try tho.

I have also been on a manhunt for liquid Tylenol and can't find it ANYWHERE. I am even trying to find it online and get it shipped but to no avail. Hmmpphh, if anyone knows where to find it let me know.

We are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FEB BANDSTERS!! :)

EEEK is right! hehee reminds me of the excited nerves/fear of a baby on the way, except this time we're delivering our own rebirth so to speak :P yes there is fear of the unknown but no second thoughts and as soon as those negative doubts poke my brain I shake it off! Im working on my list of things to prepare for the event, im getting those papaya chewables too.. and I have to go in next week to get instructions on my pre-op diet! Wish you all the best, here we go!

I am 2/13 as well!!!

After too much confusion and a surgeon moving offices in the middle of my appointments..I finally got a date today of February 3rd!!! Im so excited!!!

Hi , yes I am a Febuary bandster iI am scheduled for Febuary 2, 2012 i am so excited. i am currently on the pre-op diet.

Feb 15th here!!! I am super excited!

I just completed my pre-op testing today. They told me once my dr turns it in they can schedule the day for surgery. I'm predicting middle of February. I haven't told too many people yet, just my husband, sister, 2 daughters, and one friend.

Hi!! Feb 8th is my day...what is your pre op diet like? I started mine wednesday and the shakes are making me sick=[

I am also Feb 3rd. I started the 2 week liquid diet today. I was ready to start this next phase. They have rescheduled my surgery date 2 times so I am not really excited, just anxious that something else is going to come up.
