Wow! Great for you that you have lost so much weight without even having the band!

Awesome!

Actually decided today to move my date to Nov 5 . Conflict with kids schedule at school. Didn't want to but it will work best with getting a babysitter since I'm traveling out of state for surgery.

Houston here as well. October 10th with Dr. Reilly!

My surgery is Oct 19 and I have insurance.

I am getting banded 10/8/12. I am so excited. Scared but excited. Is anyone having difficulty with the pre-op diet. This is my 3rd day. The first 2 days were hard. But, I am doing better today.

Which preop are you doing? My surgeon requires 2 weeks of strictly Optifast. It's been ok but I'm really hungry right now. I've been blogging my adventures with the whole process and just uploaded a long one about my first day on the diet. http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com/
