Hello all,

I'm getting banded on feb 26th. Is anyone else out there getting banded on that day? If so, wanna be friends? :cursing:

I am getting banded on the 27th, is that close enough? I think it is great to have people who are close to the same day to be friends with. I met someone on the board, in the geographical section, who is having surgery right before me. Any and all support is greatly appreciated.

Hi NYNM,

Yay! I'm so glad to meet someone at the same stage as me! Are you on any type of pre-op diet? My doc just has me on low carb, but didn't give me any real instruction as to what exactly "low carb" meant. Just told to eat low carb diet 2 weeks prior to surgery. How are you doing otherwise?

Ms. Bee, if it helps to give you a guideline to go by, my doctor had me on no more than 30 gms of carbs a day excluding green leafy vegetables (yes there are carbs in veggies but I didn't have to count those).

Hope that helps!

Thanks Karen!

That is definately a good guide for me. I had no idea!

Hi all!

I'm getting banded on the 21st, I hope that's close enough to be friends too! Then again, I feel a special bond with all the Victorious Valentines here!

Good luck everyone with your surgeries, may they be smooth and uneventful!

Let's all keep in touch :wink2:

Jaunderwood, Rhapsody...So nice to meet you both!! Good luck with your surgeries too!! I'm also excited and anxious at the same time. Tuesday can't get here soon enough!!!

I'm due for surgery on 26th too.

Looking forward to it but a bit apprehensive.

Here's hoping we all get on ok!

Hello Ms Bee and all,

I'm being banded on the 25th. We are all going to do so well and attain our goals.

Getting banded on the 26th as well! I'm doing the pre op diet right now and it sucks! I'm hungry!! But I can't wait for Tuesday to get here!

I've been on NO Pasta, bread, rice, or potatos since the 14th. Of course those are all the things I love....but the diet hasen't been all that bad. I'm just ready for TUESDAY!!!!

Good luck to all of you and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
