Hello, any October banisters. I was originally scheduled for September 23 but the drs office called yesterday and moved my date to October 3.

Thanks Vicki and same to you! Are you excited yet?

Did you lose more weight than they wanted you to before your surgery?

Well they didn't tell me I needed to lose. Prior to my first visit I had just ended a round of HCG so I had just lost like 15lbs. I also knew that I would gain a few pounds after that diet. But I gained a few and lost a few in the past three weeks. I have started exercising and "clean eating". My pre op appt is on Monday so we shall see.

Thanks Vicki and same to you! Are you excited yet?

Mine is tomorrow !!!!! Arggh! Trying to get ready for after surgery is like packing to tent camp , it seems to never end! Cat food for kitties? Check? House clean ? Check teacher sub plans written out? Check ... I'm nervous...

I am excited about the possibilities. I have a friend who lost 177 lbs in one year. She's the size I want to be that is what I am excited about now. I hope the rest will come as time goes on.

Yes you will. I was never worried because there was so much pre surgery testing I felt confident that everything would go well. I am one week post op as of tomorrow everything is going great. You will be fine.

Thanks for the encouragement ! I'm psyched now !

Great to hear you are doing so well

Hello October bandsters!! Today is my band day scared and excited, will be glad to get this done. See you on the other side.:-)

I am a little scared.....on my pre op diet they only wanted me to lose 5 lbs which isn't bad my scale was moving down yesterday AM I was 2lbs below what they wanted me at then this AM I was up 3 lbs. One freaking pound above what I am supposed to weigh this Friday. I don't want my surgery canceled due to one pound. I am really freaking out.
