Are there any others set to get banded in February? My doctor's office called to tell me my insurance approved me & set my surgery date for the first! After going back & forth for a couple years & now just completing the 6 months (well technically 7 months) weight loss consultations, it's going to happen. I'm not so sure how to feel about it. Nervous? Excited? Worried? Happy? I thought I'd see if anyone else is getting ready for it all, & see how they're dealing with it. Input from veteran bandsters would be great too! Tips on what to expect, need, & advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes Feb 12th Band Date!!!excited confirm today! So close doctor advised 60-80grams of protein "2 Shakes" and a sensible dinner and to buy vitamins. I started juicing today kale,celery,spinach and ginger basically the mean green.

Mine scheduled at 9:30 tommorow morning nervous as hell.

I am officially banded!!! I am sore, but not as bad as I thought I would be. I knew I had a hernia, but the Dr said it was much bigger than he thought it would be, so it may take a little longer to heal...My ice pack has been my best friend! Gas pains haven't been too bad. I took a gas-x as soon as I got home & when my neck/back start to hurt I get up and start walking, it really does help!!!
