Anyone else getting banded in December? If so lets keep in touch until our day.

Newbie here. I'm going in this Friday at 11:30am. Need to be at the surgery center at 9:30am. On the last day of the 15 day fast. No solid food. Bariatric Advantage shakes only with fruit or nuts blended in. They were really tasty so that made it much easier. Clear liquids also allowed. Tomorrow it's clear liquids only and nothing after midnight. Lost 20.5 lbs so far. Feeling good and ready for surgery. The Kane Center in the Chicago burbs is awesome. My doc is Dr. Kane jr himself. So far a great experience with plenty of info. Just thought I would chime in here because I'm sure we all need the support up to and after being banded. Congrats to all who have gone so far and thanks for sharing your experiences!

One more day and then I'm banded! My surgery is 12/21!!

Current pre-op wt 344

3 day pre-op sounds good. 3 week was torture.

I can imagine 3 weeks....I start Sunday and No christmas deserts...Oh well I can't complain (okay a little), but I am going to be right... lol

Welcome Tiffany. What a great way to begin the new year!

Blizzard warning in effect tonight into tomorrow in my area. They better not cancel on me.

No way! If santa can get thru all weather, so can't your surgeon!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Don't forget to bring chapstick for those dry lips after surgery.
