Expect to be a little quirky and a bit nervous -- at least that was me! Congratulations on your date. I am four and a half weeks out and so happy.

Busy! I was running around tying up last minute loose ends, making sure I had everything, taking required showers, and so forth. Then I tried to settle down and sleep a little before leaving for the surgical center. :)

Best wishes! How exciting to end the old year and start a new year with a new way of life! Karen

Congratulations!

Let me be honest with you...the day before my surgery was the worst day for me to get through. I was HUNGRY all day! Clear liquids only that day before surgery and it was not the easiest thing to do.

I was a bit irritable, excited, and anxious to get it over and done.

You will make it through, and you will be so happy you did! So if you have family and friends around you the day before let them all know you love them but might have to bite their heads off a bit the day before surgery mostly because your hungry and can't eat anything else :)

Best of luck to you, see you on the banded side of life!

Let us know how it goes!
