So excited!!! Went to see my doctor yesterday and got the final go ahead and scheduled surgery for next Tuesday, October 28th...now, to just get through the last few days of liquid diet.

I can't wait till Tuesday. Will be so happy to get this done and started on my new me!

Congrats!!! Are you doing a pre op diet?

Yes, I started last Monday and got the date for surgery yesterday. Lost 10 pounds in 10 days. One way or another this weight will come off.

I am scheduled the 30th. please let me know how you are doing.

Nickybad, I will keep you posted. I have to go in today for a weigh-in at the doctor's office. The liquid diet has been a little tough but seeing the scale down 11+ pounds makes it all worthwhile.

I am so excited that tomorrow is the day!!! Happy dance, happy dance!!!

I'll be thinking of you daisy. ☆☆☆

Daisy good luck and let us know how you are doing! I am 5 days after you so would love to get the low down. ????

Just finished my check-in with my surgeon's office. Super easy just weigh-in and get time of surgery.

Drum roll....tomorrow at 7:00 am...I am first on the schedule. So excited to get this done and start the next phase of my banded journey.

I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks guys. I will post as soon as I can.

Getting ready to go to the hospital for my surgery. So excited to be in pain doesn't sound quite right does it? But you all know what I mean ????

Love how positive you are! Hope all went well, keep us posted!!

So, surgery went well. The doctor also repaired a significant sliding hernia. Stayed. In observation room till 5 pm and then went home. Slept pretty good just kept waking up for a minute or two to get comfortable. Felt like I had done 250 sit-ups and belly was sore from it.

The gas pains in my shoulder joints are the most annoying. I get them worked out and they come back. Oh well this so shall pass.

Every time I take a sip of liquid I belch. And I do mean a sip. That is frustrating. I really hope that goes a away soon. And, just on a side note sipping liquid Tylenol is gross.

Better go for now but will check in later.

Give yourself time to recover. I go I less than 24 hours!

Nicky, good luck and keep us posted. You will do fine. The biggest challenge yesterday was getting through the anesthesia. It kept me in such a fog and so grogy. Still a little bit today but mech better.

DaisyBell, so glad surgery went well for you. Good luck on your recovery & please keep us posted on your journey!

Third day was much better. Feel almost human. Pain is much better just getting tired of broth and protein drinks. Doctor appt Monday will keep everyone posted.
