I am being banded Nov 9 by Dr. James Debord - Peo, IL

I am definately ready and very anxious and nervous at the same time. Each day I hear more horror stories about recovery and inability to eat. BUt I am trying to block those out....lol

I am working up until the day before surgery and planning on returning to work the following thursday. I am being optomistic that I can do this. I don't have more time than that to take since I started my new job in June.

I wish everyone luck, that is being banded with me this next month.

Hugz,

Kristin:)

I'm getting banded Nov. 2 by Dr. Yau in Toronto. I'm not nervous at all for some reason. I'm sure it'll hit me when I'm about to go under. I'm so excited! =) Good luck everyone!

I am getting banded Nov 1st and I am so excited and can hardly believe it's real. Even though everything is all set to go I keep thinking maybe it's not going to really happen.

I will be getting banded nov 27 -- as long as I can get my BMI down to 50

If I do that then I will save $5,000!!

My doctor has the option to do the surgery at their out patient center or at the hospital. I qualify for the out patient center if I have the 50 BMI,, I currently have 55 BMI.

If I don't make it by then, I will reschedule for Dec.

I'm nervous but sooo happy

I'm being banded on the 14th. For some reason I'm not really nervous about actually being banded. What I'm really really really nervous about is the recovery. I'm a total wimp when it comes to pain.

starryeyed - I feel ya! I keep waiting for a call telling me they're going to change my surgery date

Lizzy o7. We are going to be banded on the same day. Same Dr, Yau. We are also very close in weight and have the same goal. How's the diet going?

Do you live in TO? I'm in Winnipeg. Going to stay for 5 days to make sure I can fly home in fair shape.

I'm anxious but keeping it together.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
