It is almost November, which will be always known to me as the month of the BIG change. I start my pre-op diet on the 15th and have surgery on the 29th. Any advice to get through the pre-op diet is welcome!

I would really like to hear from any and all Canadians who are being banded in November and December. There don't seem to be many newbies on the Canadian thread. I look forward to hearing from anyone!!

I also hope to get lots of support from everyone out there, as I have been afraid to tell anyone what I am doing. I have only told hubby, kids and one sister. I don't feel like trying to justify myself or my expenditure to anyone. I know I am worth it and that is what is important.

Good luck and congrats on your big month of change Nancy. Here's to the new you!!!

:clap2:

Good luck Nancy! you'll do great!

Hey Nancy, congrats on your date! Dr. Cobourn, right?

I'm sure there are some other Nov/Dec newbies around here in the Canadian area. Maybe lurkers? There's plenty of other people who are fairly new anyways (banded in the last couple months), and more will come along too... so no worries.

Hi NancyC

I'm new, and getting banded in November. Just booked the date today for Nov. 20th. :clap2: I've done the same as you re telling anyone...only my hubby and my sister know at the moment, and my family doc. I'm not worried about justifying expense so much as I don't want to be under somone else's microscope...I do that well enuf for myself! haha

Good luck with your surgery!

Good luck and congrats to all future Canadian bandsters!!!!

Best wishes to you Nancy. I will not have my turn until January. Think of all the weight you will have lost by then !

Hey Nancy, best wishes to you!!! Keep in touch, we'd love to hear how it's going.

Thanks all. Your support is important to me. Is anyone else out there going for surgery on the 29th?

Hi Nancy,

I will be banded on Nov. 23rd.... I wish you lots of luck...I'm still nervous, but I'm just thinking of how great I will start to feel.

My hubby is having his band put in as well on Nov. 16th...

Let us know how you are doing.

Plan on checking in every day once you start your pre-op. It really helps to get extra support during that time. It's not horrible, but some days can be rough!!! Good Luck!!
