Hi All,

So my Op is scheduled for October 13th!!! I'm nervous and excited!!

In going with the hospital group in the UK Got my final consultation this morning!!!

Are there any other October banders out there???

I'm in the UK too and I'm scheduled for October 1st ☺️

I'm on Sept 26th, on pre op diet at the moment!

Scheduled for Wed, Oct 14!!!

So how are you all feeling? I've wanted this for so many years..... But now it's a reality!!! I'm quite nervous about it, I think that is mainly because of the association/addiction I have with food!! Xx

I can't wait for it to be over now, I've prepared myself in my mind although I am a little nervous as I've never had surgery before but I have confidence in the surgeon I've chosen and done everything I can to prepare so I am confident there is nothing I can change at this point.

I am scheduled for Oct 14th. I have been waiting for 8 months now to get banded and now that I am actually scheduled I am a bit nervous. I have been consumed with reading posts, watching videos, and absorbing as much information as I can prior to the surgery. I really want this to be a huge success!

Scheduled for October 15, 2015 in Canada! Hopefully this is the beginning of a new life!

My two-week liver reduction diet starts tomorrow for surgery on Oct. 14th. I was not stressing until today. Ahhhhhh! Be brave everyone!

I am scheduled for my surgery on Friday, October 9th! Literally one week to go!

Good Luck Jenni! I am on the 15th. How is everyones pre-op diet going? I miss meat soooo bad....

The pre-op is going better than I expected but still hard. One minute I feel like I am full enough and can do this and the next minute I think I am going to starve to death and contemplate cheating. Hopefully the ups and downs will slow down the further into this I get! The scale is definitely a motivator when I see the numbers going down.

Surprisingly, I'm actually not too terribly hungry on the pre-op diet. I have, however, had an unbelievable headache for a solid week now. I'd given up my beloved Diet Coke awhile ago, so that surprised me. Spent Sunday in the emergency room getting what they called a "migraine cocktail" drip. I also have a lot more $ and free time now that I'm not spending it in drive-thru's.

Wishing everyone well!

Hi guys!!! First of all good luck to you all as I see that some of you are probably banded already now!! I actually started this journey a couple of years ago and a week before my surgery my ic denied me ( it was a fluke). So here I am at it again and I got approved! Day one of liquid diet. Band date October 23!!!

This bloody pre-op diet is killing me.... I'm on the liquid only and I just want to eat mushrooms.....weird I know but I am craving mushrooms.....lol! Hope everyone is doing well! xx

I know I am happy I can at least have mushrooms on mine. 3 shakes and 250 cal of low glycemic veg. Killing me not being able to have a piece of chicken or turkey. T-4 days and counting! Hang in There! EWom75
