I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

Forgot to mention I'm down 10 lbs since may 1st!! I'm shocked!! I'm assuming some will come back after I eat some mushy foods...

So what exactly does one do being at the hospital 3 hrs early for surgery?!

my date is May 24th it has taken me a year to get the date excited and nervous.

Well, I'm up this mooring and getting ready to go to the hospital. I'm not nervous right now, I'm so tired I'm ready to go back to sleep. I have benn a ball of nerves though up until now, ready as I'm going to be. So long waiting for this and it is about to be over in a flash, but then I'll be just beginning. So excited for the change I've been looking for.

I am in admitting now. Very excited and nervous! Good luck to all my May 14 band buddies!

Surgery tomorrow!

My thoughts are with you today!

Get on Lap Band Talk! Good luck to you today and my other fellow May 14th bandmates! On the way to the hospital now!

Lol...I guess so! Good luck to you as well! I just got my iv and now i'm waiting...still not nervous or anything

Finally got to step on the scale. About 2 days before surgery I was 307. Today I'm 297!

Sooo happy to finally be out of the 300+!!!

@bbbanded Congrats!

All of you getting banded today, wish you all the best! Come on here as soon as you feel up to it and let us know how you're doing. xo

I have a question about my incisions for those of you who have been banded... I have 5 (I thought there would be 4) and each one is a different size' date=' one is about an inch long, the others a half inch or smaller, is that normal? I never thought I would have one that big?? I was told I wouldn't have any scaring but I'm pretty sure that big one will leave a scar... Just want to make sure I'm not the only one??[/quote']

My largest incision is a lot bigger than I expected too! I think this is normal though. It fits in nicely with my stretch marks. Lol!

I am doing well on my liquid diet so far. I have lost about 16 lbs since the 3rd. I'm feeling like I need more to eat but for the most part I'm not hungry n I'm eating all I'm allowed to have. I really hate the Protein drinks, waiting on new ones to arrive. Getting nervous tho. Bloodwork Wednesday, weighing Thursday, n Friday is the big day! Wish me luck....

Not eating all I'm allowed. Sometimes I can't type. Lol oh and I've not cheated once.

It's really nice to hear someone tell you if anyone can do it you can. My husband has a lot of faith in me n I'm so blessed to have him.

Way to go! Keep up the good work. my surgery is next week. I am bouncing off the walls with excitment and nervousness. One thing I learned on the liquid diet/shakes, if you add about 1/4 of a small packet of sugar free jello pudding, it really helps you feel full longer! Oh and taste much better too.
