Hi guys,

i dont know if I am doing this right or not. I am a bit challenged when it comes to message boards!

I am being banded day after tomorrow Janaury 14th. i would love to have a buddy to share things with! This site is great. Once i figure it out I'll probably never get off the computer (LOL)!

I'm going to try and make me one of those ticker things now.

Can you tell I can't sleep? It's 4am and I am nervous/excited/anxious,etc. :smile:

grateful for a 2nd chance to start living life again!

Good luck to everyone!

welcome, i know how you feel. i was just banded on friday.as you can see i am up at 4:30am.

i was more excited than nervious. i like my doctor and she was very nice. but every thing went good and all the hospital staff were great. i had to spend the night there. it was a requirement of the doctor.if yu want to add the new year's knockouts to your signature just right click on it and go to edit signature. and paste. good luck with your surgery.but it will be fine

Hi Lola,

I'm being banded on 15th. Happy to be a buddy if you are interested. I'm in Australia. I am 32 and have about 40 kilos/88pounds to lose. I'm excited, but getting a little nervous.

Good luck tomorrow,

Jen

I'm being banded on the 15th. Nervous right now. I will be a buddy if you'd like. Diane

Hey Lori,

I too am being banded on Monday the 14th, and I know what you mean by being nervous. Saturday night I woke up at 4:30 and could not go back to sleep. My surgery is at 7am so that is good, I won't have a lot of time to think about it.

Good Luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes!

The great thing about this site. Everyone is here to help you. Good luck!

Hey i am also having my surgery in the morning and I would love you be your buddy. I can use all the support i can get. So just send me a private message and we can start chatting.

Thank you guys so much!!!!

getting some last minute things together, i probably won't sleep tonight either. Good luck to those being banded this week, I'll be back on with an update when i can get back to the computer. I can't wait to hear how it goes for all of you as well.

Happy banding!
