Hi! New to the group and am getting banded tomorrow morning at 9:30 am in Everett, WA at Northwest Weight Loss Surgery. Nervous...excited...a bit scared. But overall relieved that I'm starting on a new phase of my life.

Good Luck And Welcome To LBT!

No way! We are band twins! I'm doing great. A bit of a dry throat...and a small bit of pain in my mid-section. But otherwise I'm shocked at how well I'm doing. Everything went so amazingly well. Dr. Michaelson is just fantastic. Couldn't have been happier - and I got a nice new pair of blue socks! :shades_smile: How are you feeling?

That;s Great For You Only Couple Of Hours Let Me Knw How U Feel I;m Getting Surgrey Tomrrw 11:00 At Wieght Loss Center In Everett Also By Dr. Michaelson...

Definitely know what you mean, my banded twin! But I'm really just so excited. I am nervous about the fact that the band won't stop me from eating things like ice cream, chocolate, Cookies, cheesecake, etc. But - that's a decision I need to make and I knew we just made the major decision to get the band so decision to turn down foods that we know are not going to help us will just be part of the journey. I've lost weight before - 70 lbs last year - then gained back 90. It's not fun. In fact, it's just plain rotten. But now is the time to take control of our lives and know that we have support, a tool, and the motivation to do it. Won't be easy, but definitely will be worth it. :thumbup:

Me too. I'm getting banded at 6:30am in New York. I'm not worried about the surgery but...the rest of my life, do you know what I mean?

Thank you thank you - banded and doing great - except for the excitement which has caused me to wake up every 30 minutes and login to lapbandtalk!!!! :thumbup:

Thank you Pat! Doing just wonderful - hardly any pain and enjoying the liquids...then again, it is day one and I'm on some fantastic pain meds. Heh! :thumbup:
