Laying down in bed one night, 8 months ago, I decided right then and there, that the Lap Band wasn't working for me and it was time to take my life into my own hands. I'm going to be healthy, I'm going to be around for my children, I'm going to be happy with my weight for once in my life!!

And now!!!! It's happening!! It's almost here!! I can barely stand it!!

I can feel my nerves going up and back down again.

But I am ready! Words of encouragement and advice needed still though!

I am in Houston Texas! And I have no pre op diet at all. Lol.Lucky me I guess lol. I have my preop appointment tomorrow. I've bought gas x strips and some soups and liquids. I just need to get some nightgowns. I was going to pack pjs but I saw on here that the elastic bothered some people so yeah I need to get some gowns. Other than that I'm excited. I'm starting to feel a little peaceful.

You can do this! And I'll be right there with you that week!

Be glad you didn't get the band! It's a nightmare!

I'm the 4th too, we can do this!!!

Yay! Good to know someone will going through this at the same time!!

I'll only be on pre op forums for 6 more days!! I'm excited to move into post operation forums after my surgery LOL!

I am currently at work (my last day) and I'm so grateful for the people I chose to tell. I'm getting texts, hugs, and good lucks!! I can't believe we will all be sleeved on Monday!!

I just left my job early today. Just couldn't wait to get started preparing for Monday. I'm really beginning to get scared now,I go from being positive to thinking I'm crazy for doing this.

Good Luck Monday fellow March 4ther's!!
