April 30th is my date - I thought I would be 'freaking out' once I had the date, but right now I am truly at peace with my decision! I am actually getting a tad excited! I keep thinking about truly playing with my kids. Getting rid of all my fat clothes, (I'm going to sell them on Ebay to make money to buy more)! fitting into the smaller ones in my closet. Taking my daughter to her first day of kindergarten this fall and not worrying that I am the 'fat mom'.

congrats on getting a surgery date!

I'm getting banded 2 days before you and, like you, I feel completely at peace with my decision. I have tons of questions but feel good that I'm getting it done. I hope we both stay that way!

I was banded last year on April 30. I hope that day is as great for you as it was for me. I am so happy that I made the decision that I did. I feel wonderful about myself and my success to date. Congratulations to you. I'll be thinking about you on that day (as I celebrate one year).

my date is april 29th and I'm so excited but I know what you mean about feeling at peace. for the last few months its been doctors appts and support groups and thinking about when it will finally happen, and now there is a date and I'm just relieved I know the date of the start of my new life, like a second birthday I guess. only 12 days before my real one, and that will still makes me a taurus awesome. congrats on your journey I'm right there with you.

my banding date is April- 23rd, I'm glad I made this decision but I'll be a little relieved once it's overwith.

My date is also April 30th at 7:30 am. It seems like its taking forever to get here. I have a countdown calendar at my desk and everyday I'm checking off another day.
