Who is next up for their surgery? Just want to make sure we are rallying support for EVERYONE!!

I'm pre-op for Monday the 4th. I'm starting to get very nervous and excited at the same time

Hi ! My surgery is on the fourth and I'm getting nervous. Superbowl will be a great distractor.

I'm going to be on the loser's bench too. If they send you home same day but your insurance allows the second day stay, would anyone out there recommend staying?

Glad to be a part of the group! HUGS to all!

Good Luck tomorrow Babedoe!!! Sending positive thoughts your way:cool2:

I'll be in your spot in 16 days!!!!

Thank you for your good wishes megan. I'll keep posting and let you know how I made out post op

Count me in! I'm scheduled for the 25th. I start the pre-op diet on Monday. Two long weeks of Opti-Fast. That should be challenging. My surgeon also wants me to do 2 more weeks of opti-fast after the surgery. I'm not necessarily nervous about the surgery itself; just hoping this works for me. I plan on being very patient since I understand that it takes a little while for you to actually start losing. I'm anxious to hear how the weigh loss goes for you guys that are ahead of me.

Good luck for everyone with upcoming surgeries!

Hello all!!!

Well, TODAY IS THE DAY!!!! I am on my way out the door within the hour to go and GET BANDED!!! I am nervous and all of that but more than anything I just want to fast fwd to the time when I am home again.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Good luck to anyone else going today!!!!

Good Luck gweniviere!!! :thumbup:

Good luck, Gweniviere. I head out at 11:30 for appointment with the band. Looking forward to another week of liquids.:thumbup:

I haven't been one here much the last week or so...I wanted to see how every one was doing? I hope everyone is well.

I get my first fill on March 10th and looking forward to it.

Keep in touch Double V's

Hi I'm Angie (angie61). I'm having my surgery on July 30!!!! Very excited, but it seems a long way off. What are double V's? and how can I post a new thread? I'm really trying hard to figure out this site. I don't have much time this morning and I'm puzzled as to how to get to everything a little faster than I AM doing... I posted a new message a few min. ago and I have no idea if it went "through" or not and/orhow to read the reply(s) if any. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Angie. First off, congrats on your surgery date and best of luck with the surgery and new life.

Probably the best place for you to post is going to be this section - July 2008 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum. It's the section for people who are going to have their surgery in July of 2008.

VVs or Double Vs or Victorious Valentines are the names the people who had their surgery in February 2008 use. That happens to be the section you posted in. No biggie cause we're all really in the same Lap Band boat. :grouphug:
