Date set for March 18.

Hmmm, just realised that the numerolgy for the 18th. It is a 9 day (1+8=9).

Nine: A day to announce important plans, and make promising contacts. This day promises achievement in most areas of life. Personal growth, triumph and success in competitions are at hand this day.

Yep, it'll be a good day all round.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations!! I'm getting banded on this day as well. I'm so excited I can't hardly help myself. I've told my family and my friends - I've got "band on the brain!" I relate it to when I found out I was pregnant... It's like I can't think of anything else!! I'm currently going through the "last supper syndrome" and feeling like I'll never fill up. I'll try to keep up with posts after surgery, it sure will be nice to talk to people who are going through the same thing.

I'm on the 18th as well.....I was delighted that it is a "9" day...and now even moreso! 9 has always been a significant number for me, so it just felt like good karma!

Good Luck to US!

Congrats! I am being banded on 3/25, which is a 7 day, what does that mean?

Hey Paula,

I was banded on the 18th too. If your talking about gas when you say that your tummy is "rumbling" - then yeah, I'm with ya. I'm really glad to have my band too. I drink the protein shakes as well and I can have yogurts and puddings, but that is about it. I was bad today and ate two m&m's, I just couldn't help myself!! On the other hand though, it was only two - not the entire bag. I do need to start wallking though. I've been back at work for 2 days now, and am even going to teach my night class tonight. I should be exhausted when I get home. NOTE TO ALL - beware of the pain meds - they will constipate you. OMG - I've never had to go to the bathroom so bad in my life and could not!! It all worked out in the end, but there were some extreme measures involved. Good luck to all!
