Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

Good Morning its MONDAY again!

Babygirl........ YOUR COUNTDOWN IS ON!!!!!!!! Don't be nervous you will do great.

A quick update since my Feb 1/07 surgery. I only took the Demerol on Friday and no Gravol (or other anti-nauseant). I slept in the reclining chair for the first few nights so that I wasn't flat on my back. I'm working from home today and going back to work Wednesday. I wish you all such a peaceful journey.

Hi Everyone,

Started my Protein liquid diet yesterday. Can you imagine a better time to start than Super Bowl Sunday - haha.:faint:

21 days and counting down!!!!

Michelle

Tres Chic: Glad to hear that you are doing well!

Michelle: Your countdown is on!!!!!!

Hope your team one, at least! Keep you eyes on the prize!

:clap2:

Started my two weeks of "two shakes and a Healthy Choice meal" for a Feb 19th surgery. Dr. Luttrell and staff work on President's Day - anyone else here having surgery on the 19th?

I got my first fill Saturday. I only got 1cc though. Is this normal? I don't really feel any different????? I did try to eat but it all kept coming back up. I was sliming. Does this mean I was restricted or just eating big bites. My doctor told me to stay on fluids for one week. But I just can't...it won't keep me full so I've been on mushies again.

Lots of Luv- Alice

Kaboom: some people will have post fill swelling that will make you feel really tight for a few days... I would ask this question on the main board, because I don't know what its like yet..... (but I hope to SOON!)

OMG Tracy I am so freaked out!!!!!!! I can't believe it is almost tomorrow.

Hey Babygrl, nearly there!!!!!:biggrin1: Yippee. Susannah

So my official countdown has started as well.

I am drinking Bariatrix Essentials and only vetables for dinner. I have been trying for 1 week to get through one entire day without giving in to the headaches and grouchiness and (well you know the symptoms of not eating real food).

So far it is 330pm and when I go home after work is going to be the tough times.

I go for the last dr appointment and pre op appointment tomarrow prior seeing the dr. on surgery day. Woo hooo

I say woo hoo right now because I feel confident, but I know I will be a whimp soon.

Tommorrow is the day. I am scheduled for 9:15am, need to be at the hospital at 7:45.

I am excited to finally be going to bandland. Yippee!

Good luck Babygirl, see you on the other side!

You too Mel. I am scheduled at 10:30 and I need to be there at 8:00. I cannot believe it is almost here. I have been a mess of emotions today.

Hang in there, it will all be over this time tommorrow night. Then more liquids to drink.... at least I am done with the chocolate fish shake.

Looking forward to comparing notes with you.

I'm scheduled for my lapband on February 7, can't wait! I can't believe it's finally here! Good luck to all the rest of the February surgery folks!
