Well my day has come. My banding is less than 10 hours away. Very excited. Well wishes to all the other 3/1 banders out there.

I just found out today that I am scheduled for March 8th. I am so excited and nervous! Its the day before my birthday too. Its been a long road and I'm just glad I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am keeping my fingers crossed the rest of this process goes smoothly.

....and what a wonderful birthday present to be through the surgery and looking foward to your new body. its great. wish it were me. lol. im not sure yet.

My surgery will probably start around 8.

do you have far to travel?? im a couple of hours away from the hospital wherei will be done...

Wow its great how many of us are already in March, it is amazing. I wish everyone the best of luck.

Question for you????

I have not yet told my boss about my surgery, I did only find out shortly ago the date. She is the type that has to know everything and I don't want to tell her, I know 100% she would not keep it to her self, and in this small town everyone would know.

So what do I tell her and my co-workers that will be asking why I need the time off. I don't want to sound rude and say its none of their business, although that's what my husband says I need to do. (aka grow some balls) as he would say.

Any input would help thanks!!! how did you get on with this?? i know i wouldnt tell her. i live in a small town as well and thats not good. only my husband knows about me

I work in the hospital that is doing my surgery so not only will my boss know ( she prob does already) but Im' pretty sure everyone will! lol I'm ok with it. I feel the more I tell the less I can screw up! wink.png

lol... thats true..

I am also really anxious but i am also very excited, but once we start to reek the benifits and when its all done we will look back and say what was i so worried about... It will be just fine. I cant wait to finally be getting this done, and so soon I go March 2nd.. Best of luck to you..

wow... two days to go.

Well, even tho I'm not supposed to be there til 7:30 (it's now 3:40am) I can't sleep. The anxiety is KILLING me! Please say a special prayer for me!

Good luck March 1st bandsters! Heading to hospital soon. Blessings for everyone. Here we GO!!

I'm this morning too! Sending prayers!
