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

Congrats to all of the October bandsters that have been banded...good luck to the rest of us still waiting to be! My turn is October 15th and I'm on my 6th day of the pre op diet. Last night was the first night I wasn't tempted by my daughters dinner. So excited for this to happen!

My surgery is scheduled for Oct. 23rd and I see the doctor for the first time tomorrow - this seems weird reading everyone's posts, sounds like you have to go thru a pre surgery liquid diet? For how long? I'll have less than two weeks from by 1st appointment to having the surgery.

Anyone have time to post what the first few weeks are like?

Good luck and best wishes tomorrow!

Best Wishes on your way to a new you.

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.

Don't freak out too bad. Weight fluctuates naturally. Also, are you weighing yourself in the same clothes every day? Clothes weigh something too! Generally speaking, you're heavier later in the day and lighter earlier in the day, weight naturally fluctuates, so don't panic too much.

HI!! I am getting banded on 10/11/13...getting pretty nervous. I have my pre-op appt. today w DR. Such a big life change!!! Ready for the change. Any AZ banders?

Me too!!!! I'm so excited! Let me know how you do!

This AM was when I weighed which I do everyday...same scale clothes etc. Today after work back dead on my goal for Friday. One more day of work tomorrow then the official weigh in at the Dr on Friday. I am sure that I will be down lower in the AM just a freak out moment. I should be ok just nerves getting the best of me. I see myself wearing a light outfit on Friday.

Nerves got to me too, but don't worry, as long as you're doing your diet right, you should be fine! I lost 13lbs on my 2 week pre-op diet!

Surgery is October 24th!!! Start pre surgery diet Monday!!

I know you will be fine. Please keep me posted on your progress.

Tomorrow is my pre op weigh in day. Today I received pre registration calls from the hospital where my surgery will be. Weds I will find out my surgery time. So excited but my GI tract tells me that I am nervous. I am almost there
