I started my journey in December 2013, I received my approval phone call on Feb 6, 2014. I have set my date for March 26! I am very excited! Wasn't nervous at first but now that I know I can actually have the surgery, the butterflies are starting! Hope I can do this! Some people think the lapband are for cheaters that want an "easy" quick fix! But little do they know!! But I'm ready for the challenge! Looking forward to better health and finding cute clothes on the clearance rack! Good luck to all! (sorry title should be EXCITED!) couldn't figure out how to change!

Congrats!! I just found out a few days ago that my surgery date will be February 18th so I'm in the same boat, all full of butterflies and excitement! It's a great feeling knowing that you're taking control of your life and getting healthy and not looking back isn't it?

I am scheduled for this Monday, 10 February and only got approved about two weeks ago. I know what you mean about the excitement and I'm just glad I had a short time to wait after I was approved. Good luck to you!

Wow!! B4Tim! Tomorrow is your "big" day that begins the "little" you!! Sending prayers your way! Please keep us posted!

Blissfullybanded your count down begins! How is the preop diet going? Really wish I could do mine sooner but I'm a teacher and don't want to use a lot of my days so I'm working around our spring break schedule. Best of luck to you!

Hey All! I'm having mine done 3/25! I was supposed to have it done last year and found out I was pregnant while meeting with anastesia the day of surgery. So here I am a year later & 1 more baby that has completed our family & making this happen again. Started the liquid diet today & am nervous & excited!
