And then I can start getting everything ready for the 16th!! I'm so excited. Is it weird that I'm not nervous?? I've always been the type to just get it done, when it came to scary stuff etc. there's no turning back, I'm leaving the past.

I wasn't nervous till I really started to think. About being cut open. Yikes. I'm really excited, but not gonna lie about being nervous. I'm in really good health( beside being overweight) and feeling wonderful after losing 21 preop lbs. I'm nervous, cause I have 3 kids I need to come home too, that need me. But I'm putting all my trust in God. He's yet to interven and make me change my mind. So I'm doing this 100%. My surg is wend. Good luck to you!

I know how you feel. A lot of people are nervous for me but I feel that if I go any longer this way I'll be shortening my life. My surgery is on Thursday I hope everything goes well for you too. Your absolutely right that it is gods hands. Let me know how it goes.

My surgery is on Thursday too! Good luck to both of you guys...I can't wait! I took 10 days off from work so I hope i do well. This has been so many years in the works. Every time I got close something would happen like losing my jobs, or my wife telling me she wanted a divorce, closing my business, or foreclosure...one way or another something happened. This time all is going well, I have it paid for, time off from work and now I just need a ride to an from the hospital! Good luck to us all, let's stay in touch post op. Good luck....

mine is the 15th I'm not scared of the surgery but concerned about my pre op diet I really dont see the scale going down much but my clothes are getting loose especially around my waist I just worry that I will get everything done and the surgeon look in there and say ok close her up the liver is too fat I have lost 10lbs but the majority of that was before I started the pre-op diet. I am just going to keep going and pray he can see my hard work Good luck to everyone

Good luck guys!!! Last day of work for me!! Surg wends and I'm nervous as hell! Trying to keep it under control. I keep telling myself it's natural...yikes.

me too I have had surgery before but for some reason I am nervous about this one I guess because I worked so hard to get to this day. I am working tomorrow I just need something to occupy my time if I sit at home I will go crazy and it's easier for me to be on the clear liquid diet when I am constantly busy Good luck 15AUG band buddies we are almost there

Just joined the forum I am at the very beginning just started thinking about having the lap band surgery and joined the forum to get some info on what steps to take, I am reading a lot of positive posts, also a lot of posts that talk about getting fills, not sure what that means, I got the name of a doctor who does the lap band surgery fro my primary doctor, I just have to get up the nerve to make an appointment.

Good luck to all of you who are about to have surgery, I'' probally check the posts to see how you made out, thanks.
