Did not see a December surgery post so added one. I can update as we go along here.

msixkiller December 4th Bailey Medical Center, Owasso OK

Started my liquid diet nov 16... 17 days no cheating I've honestly amazed myself didn't think I could do it..... 7 more days

Of course having lose 37 lbs in that 17 days makes it a little easier haha

12-12-12 Gainesville ,Fl Dr. Ben-David. Only 10 more days and I'm starting to get scared. Maybe. It scared but excited and worried at the same time. Some things I am thinking are.... Am I too young to be doing this? ( I'm 22) what if I'm not mentally strong enough to go through all the changes.

Hello' date=' I am new here.. Surgery scheduled for Dec. 19, Spokane, WA.[/quote']

Welcome!!! Good luck

I own a feed store and constantly lift 50-100lb bags... Anybody have any idea how long it's going to be until I lift again?... Nurse didn't give me a straight answer and I forgot to ask the dr... Surgery dec 10... I don't plan on going back until the day after Xmas but still curious if anyone had been told how long it would be until they could lift

Hi there I had lapband surgery almost 4 years ago(01/09) i was 21 at the time it's scary but I seriously doubt I will live to see 45 if I don't have this surgery

Good luck to everyone! This is really happening, guys, it's OUR month!!! Ahhhh!!! I go back and forth, back and forth on emotions. Happy, excited, anxious, terrified, depressed... it's such a ride. 10 more days for me!

My surgery is December 10 in Provo, Utah. I'm having a revision from LapBand (2007). I've been on the liquid diet for 1 week, so I'm halfway there. Haven't cheated and hope to be able to say that next Sunday night. I'm probably the oldest one having surgery this month (63) and maybe the oldest on the site. Yikes! I guess it's never too late.

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. So anxious to see you on the other side!

Welcome to all the newbies I have add the ones I seen if I forgot anyone please let me know... I wanted to also remind you we have a group set up in the post op forum called "December 2012 Post Op Group" so after you had your surgery just come on over to the post op group I personally look forward to adding each and every one of yall on the losers bench there see ya on the other side cause ......TOMORROWS MY BIG DAY WHOOT WHOOT
