Hi everyone,

I have my surgery booked for April 27, 07. I'll start my fast on April13, the day I host a coffee morning. Luckily for me my coffee friends are all supportive and will help me along the way. We've been meeting for 18 years.

My husband is on board as well and jokes about getting the surgery money back from the money we'll save on food.

I started gaining weight after a car accident that prevented me from exercising alot. Now I think I'll join a gym and just DO IT.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm really excited!

Debbie, congrats on making this life changing decision. You will love being banded.

DebbieNB,

Best of luck! It will be the best thing that you can do for yourself! You'll do great!

Thankyou everyone. The support on this site is so great. I feel like I'm in a new club, which I guess I am or will be after April 27. I'm not worried about the operation but I'm a little worried about flying home from Ontario after 26 hours post op. It's only a 2 hour flight so I guess I can stand it, I hope. I'm also a little nervous about making meals for the rest of the family from then on. You have to eat and drink so often it seems like that's all you do for a while.
