They had a cancellation of a surgery and my date was moved up to January 25 from the 29th! Only 4 days but that is 4 days less of the pre-op diet! And 4 days closer to my goal. I am really excited.

But, when I got the call - it suddenly made this much more real. Just a litttle fear crept in but far more excitement to get this done!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for you. 4 less days to think about it!!

When I was moved from Jan 21, to Dec 31, I cried because I was going to not be able to eat Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years Day. All big family food days in my family. It took a long talk with my parents to put it into perspective.

Now I am glad it was moved up. You are right when you say its better because you are closer to your goal now.-

That's really exciting! 4 days is a big difference. It's less than a week away!

Thanks! I am very excited about this. It is certainly becoming very real now! I can't wait to be on the other side of this! God knows this website and all of you have provided me support through this whole process when you didn't even know it!

I know how you are feeling....just wanting it to be over and start your new life with the band. It's a HUGE relief when the day finally arrives. I was scared but more relieved then anything. Best of luck!!
