13 Days to go

mojo479 · March 18, 2008

I have 13 days to go and I can't wait.

I m not looking forward to the pain afterwards, but I am sure in the end it will be worth it.

Can't wait

Best wishes Mojo... I'm scheduled for 7 April, so we are not far apart. I'm like you - I can't wait.

Thanks luscious , where are you having your surgery done?

I am in Perth, Wesern Australia

There's not much pain afterwards, more like a little discomfort. It is well worth it believe me.

Luscious I was originally scheduled for banding on 7 April too; that date was set back at the start of Feb. I thought I would die waiting that long! I was lucky enough for the nurse to realise how 'desperately' I wanted it, she called me and bought the date forward to 22/2! April 10 is my first fill day so I will be thinking of you recovering!

Mojo are you doing Opitfast? If so have you started yet?

Good luck ladies/lads. :lol:

Peek's right. It's more uncomfortable than painful (well, it was for me anyway!)

Best wishes for your surgery!

HI Luscious

No I am not on Optifast, over here we do ot do that for some reason. Maybe as I am only 35 kg over weight I am not sure if I should have done it or not.

I was not told to,

Here in Aus we do othave t wait long before e go for the op, I could have gone 2 weeks after my first consult. But had to wait until my husband booked the time off.

HI Chickie, thanks for the support,

You look amazing, I showed my husband your before and after pics, and he was so amazed at the difference.

I hope I get my head around all this. And have just as much sucess as you have.:biggrin2: :thumbup: :crying:

Hi Mojo, to add to the chorus its not really painful at all. My sister wanted to see how I coped before considering it for herself I called her today and told her to not waste any more time thinking and book it, for every day thinking is a day you are not losing weight and reaching your goal.

HI Nat and all others giving me support.

I can't wait until next Monday its all down hill from now.

My starting weight is 94kg, I want to get down to 60 kg, I went out for my final big meal yesterday with my husbnad and kids, as he does FIFO, I wont see him again now until the day after the op when he picks me up.

I know I will be nervous and restless on Sunday night.

Any suggestion on what to wear when I go home, Im thinking of loose fitting clothing???
