i just met with my surgeon on wednesday, and next wednesday is surgery. so soon!

i was told to go on a pre-op diet for two weeks, and i messed up big time. i went in panic mode or something and started eating all the things i would never be able to eat again, at least not a full meal of it. yeah, i failed already, but i'm not discouraged just yet.

i know i can stick to "the rules" when i'm banded, even when i already messed up.

anyway, i'm excited for next week!

My surgery is also scheduled for April 30th.:cry_smile: I've been on the pre-op diet for almost two weeks and although it's been tough at times I have been able to stick with it, I think my only saving grace was that I was allowed to have one sensible meal.

Good Luck!:rolleyes2:

aw, you're my surgery twin. hehe.

i'm actually allowed to have two meals a day. i don't know why i couldn't even stick with that. i've been doing like one healthy meal, or one Protein shake, and then burger and fries from mcdonalds. it was totally bad, but i've been doing better now that it's closer to surgery. i know it's to benefit me and make surgery go smoother.

:rolleyes2: I have a twin!!!

What time is your surgery? I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am and my surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I'm excited and nervous but I cant wait to start my new life:thumbup:.

mine is at 4:50pm. i don't like that it is so late in the day, but they will call me the day of surgery so the time might change.

I am also being banded on the 30th. Very excited and nervous at the same time. where are the 2 of you being banded?

now we're surgery triplets.

i'm in houston myself.

I am also being banded on the 30th. Getting a little anxious.

I live in Montana but i'm having the surgery in Denver.

Two more days!!! How are you two doing? I go in waves of nerves but still very excited. I'm in Detroit and live about 1 mile from the hospital so fortunately I don't have far to go.

Woohoo... Its almost here!!! I live in NJ but I'm being banded in PA.

I have been kind of nervous all weekend. I am ready to get it done so I can stop worrying about it already. My pre-op diet has been great. I had to do Atkins so thats been pretty simple. I am so glad that I didn't have to do the liquid diet. I fly to Denver tomorrow @ noon. And I'll fly back on Thursday afternoon. So I am a little nervous about going without my husband but he has to stay with the kids. After reading this site for 2 months a lot of people say it's not that bad. So I am really hoping I am one of those people. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Good luck to all of us. I look forward to seeing how well everyone is doing.

Well 1 more day and our lives will be changed forever. It's hard to even imagine. I know I am very ready for this but still a little nervous about the surgery(I have never had one) Very excited to hear how it went for the 2 of you. let me know as soon as you are feeling up to it. Take care, Good luck ...You will be in my thoughts and prayers

Hi all,

Add me in!! 4/30 7:30 am. Can't wait to start my new life!!

Daynel, I am on the East Side and will be banded at St.John Oakland on Dequindre. Where are you having surgery?

Good luck everyone!!

I am right downtown I am going to Harper Hospital. I don't go in till 3pm, I wish mine was first thing in the morning. Good Luck!!

1 more day people! what is everyone feeling? today i felt a little down for some reason, but i am still excited and know i will be excited come wednesday.

Very very anxious,nervous,excited,relived...oh the list could go on and on. I am just excited for it to be over and to start my new life. I finally feel like this is something that is going to change my life. I have been overweight my entire life, trying every diet known to man and failing every single one. This time I just feel like it is going to be different. I know it is still going to be a challenge and at times hard, but I think this is what is going to work. I wish you all the best, please keep me informed.
