I am I am!!!! I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet and doing ok on it. I have my pre-op testing on Monday and then Tuesday is the big day!! I am anxiously awaiting, yet cautiously nervous about it all. I know this is the best thing I can do for myself and my health and in the end, it'll all be worth it.

Great to meet you and good luck!!

I am going on Nov 12th the panic is setting in. How about you?

I am sure we are going to be great. but I am still a little nervous.

I was just banded on 11/09/07.

I have never been in the hospital before so it all has been a real shocker.

Some advice (if you want it):

1) Don't step on the scale post-op for probably a week (gained 7 of my 9 pre op pounds back). It will go away though...

2) Be patient. There are varying amounts of pain/discomfort. Apparently I am a big wuss, so it has not been a great two day for me.

3) Remember that it gets better every day.

Good luck....

Congrats To The Nov. Banders...i Wish You All The Best Of Luck...get Ready For A Wonderful Journey....i Am Happy For All The Newbies And The Newbies To Be.....

Can't wait to be done with this part of the process. I am looking forward to getting on with life post surgery.

Hi, longhorn! How are you doin'? How's the pain, food (or lack thereof), etc? I got a date - Dec 4th. I get to stay in Austin. I am such a worry wart - I had my mammogram today, and got to worrying about it being bad and messing up my surgery date. I'm more concerned about getting my band than ANYTHING....hope I can calm down. It's all I can think about, and I am probably becoming a real pain in the patooty to my sweet husband. I will owe him big when this is over!
