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 have a Feb 21st date, started my pre-op diet already....I am hoping it gets here soon!

So my surgery date is scheduled for 2/27/13 and I am super excited. I am new to this process so I am thrilled that I am not alone. I don't have anyone close to me that has had this procedure done, so learning through all of you guys is really great. Good luck to all of you.

Feb 14th is my lucky day......can't wait....im tired of all liquids already......only 6 more days to go!!!!!!!

Was banded feb 4th, 6 days post op. day 2 was the worst of it. Hopefully u have a comfy chair to chair/ ottoman to sleep in! Get a heating pad for shoulder/tummy gas pain and walk lots! Enjoy and keep the bigger picture in mind.

My surgery is feb. 12th, we share the same week to begin our journey--prayers for you!!

Feb 2013 banisters your posts are very confusing to those of us who have been communicating for over a year. I have checked and there is a 2103 Feb Bandsters. It maybe beneficial for you to communicate with those who at the same place in your lapband experience. We wish you the beat of luck in your journey.

Feb 2012 Bandsters has anyone considered reconstructive surgery? Tummy tuck or breast lift ?

I have lost 15 lbs on liquids. 3days to go!!!!!

February 28 is my surgery date.. I'm excited but yet a bit scared. It's also my Birthday on the same day!! what a way to start a new life!! I'm looking forward to the BIG DATE.. I go for my Pre-Op at the hospital on the 21st.. I look forward to all your support and thank you all for posting your experience as this alone is very helpful. I will have a great last meal tomorrow to enjoy and then it's A NEW LIFE STYLE FOR ME..

Congratulations on your surgery date. We are here for you.

Maybe we February 2012 bandsters should start another thread, February 2012 bandsters? Not sure. This is becoming too full and convoluted.

So I get my surgery on Friday....... I had the band put in in 2009 had it removed 2010 and gained all my weight back all this was due to lack of knowledge and communication and my choices..... I've since gotten married and have been pushing to get the band again. I've researched, went to numerous doctors, talked for days with insurance companies, friends, family even random people. I've set the date and tomorrow start on the liquid diet. I've been so sure this is exactly what I want, I think of how I use to look how I felt how I could run around and play with my kids and enjoy life, how I fit in my shower and could get my shoes on without taking a deep breath and twisting into a position to reach my feet. I think I'm most excited for the day I get out of bed to grab something I forgot and cuddle back up with my husband without sounding like I ran to the end of the block and back instead of the other room. But still there is a little nagging thought that somehow managed to squeeze into my brain and kill off some of my confidence. What am I doing is this a good idea what if I fail and just screw this up again. So here I am I just want to see if anyone else feels or felt this. I'm so happy to find this support system
