January 2013 Bandsters!

Anyone else getting banded in January? I'm scheduled for January 23rd. It all feels so real now that a date has been set.

My date is 01/22. I'm excited and nervous as well. I'm sure this is the best thing for me, but afraid it's not going to be what I think it is.

I'm scheduled 1/17. I'm extremely nervous, I'm not sleeping and I'm scared to death!

Yay! Another January 23rd person! Welcome :)

I have my surgery this coming Tuesday the 15th... I have been on the pre-op diet for two weeks and have lost 10 lbs.. fortunately my insurance did not require a long extended diet.. If I was a successful dieter I wouldn't need a lapband.. lol I have been on every diet known to man' date='

I lost and re-gained hundreds of lbs. so hopefully with the help of my lapband I will be successful in not only losing but keeping it off.. good luck to all my band of sisters and brothers for January 2013...[/quote']

Good luck tomorrow and I know how you are feeling. I'm on day 9 or 10 clear liquids before surgery Wednesday. I can not wait till purée stage

Thank You!! :P
