Hello everyone!! I have been a lurker here for a couple of weeks but as of Monday I now have a surgery date and everything is all set to go so I thought I would introduce myself.

I am 29 and am I a kiwi chick! I had my first pre op consult on Monday thinking they would just go through the procedure and give me a surgery date about 12 weeks or so in the future but no - my surgery is scheduled for two weeks away - 9 August!!! I am so scared and excited all at the same time, it just seems to be happening so fast. Tomorrow I start my two week pre op diet - just got to keep telling myself only two weeks, had my last supper tonight and all ready for tomorrow.

Anyway enough rambling, I have been so motivated (and sometimes a bit freaked) by other stories I have read here and can't wait to become one of the banded ones!!! :whoo:

and a big congrats on getting your date!

GOOD 4 U!

Just remember most of us on here have had it done so you can do it too. Drink lots of protein and that will help (or it did for me) you hunger. I drank 3-4 a day whether it was the drinks or the soups. ood luck you will be so glad you did this.
