My tentative surgery date is July 23rd because of my work schedule. It may change by a week but it looks like I'm gonna be a July baby. Anyone else out there that will be banded in July?

4 more hrs !!!! Thank God. !!!! Ready for this !!!!

Sending good vibes your way!!! Post and let us all know how you are ((hugs))

8 more days and counting... I have my last weigh in this thursday and should get a phone call the day before surgery letting me know what time to be at the hospital for Wednesday the 25th.

I have been through surgery before and know what to expect as far as the iv and anesthesia, but like any sugery I am still nervous and anxious.

How is everyone else doing so far?

Thank you !!! Everything when well !!! The gas is the only thing not fun but I feel good .,.

Best of luck to you on your journey and to a new life!

2 weeks out today, So now I get to eat some real food. Mushy food....but real food. After a month of liquids I had scrambled eggs this morning and they tasted awesome.

LOL, ohh I know I am going to feel the same way. Is amazing how good food taste to us once we really don't eat it, or eat as much of it. I mean I eat tuna fish all the time, but let me tell you now a days that bad boy is tasting like lobster tails. hahahahaha
