KathyStrick looks like you are still alone and so is Rhonda! Wonder why! I bet it gets loaded up soon!

I know! Isn't that strange, especially when some days have so many people? The 18th is on a Wednesday though, so maybe a lot of doctors don't do surgery in the middle of the week or something, I don't know. And Rhonda is on Friday, so that could definitely be the case for her. I know my doc won't do surgery on Friday. Maybe we'll get some company soon.:cool2:

Great Group!:cursing:

Hello everyone, I am still not sure if I am doing this correctly. I now have a surgery date add of June 2.

Okay guys. Anyone else getting nervous with your date approaching. I hadn't been nervous until now...I go onto my high protein diet starting Monday and I think it has finally hit me....I am really doing this and my life will forever be changed..........just wondering about anyone else about to be banded and how they are handling it?

Kelly

I haven't gotten nervous yet! My pre-op diet will start around June 3, 08 with a surgery date of June 17th. I am getting everything gathered together, like protein drinks and food I can have pre and post. Bought some new undies. and a few loose fitting cloths and comfy shoes.

Please know that we are all "one big happy family" now, so jitters are to be expected.

I have the added concern that I have many social gatherings to attend during my pre-op diet that are going to be real chalanges! I work for a school district and may teachers are retiring at the end of this school year, so therefore, since I am the cook for the school, they expect me to entertain! Haven't quite figured that out yet.

I'll, as well as everyone else, will be thinking of you and will support you in any way we can.

Just think how cute you will look in 6 to 8 months out! Kerry

Hi Please change me to 6/3 Thanks!

I wonder if those of us who have had surgery before (any major surgery) if we are more anxious than those who have never had surgery ?

We have a Memorial Day function to go to tomorrow and it is expected that I bring my Texas Sheet Cake...not this time. I love our friends but I have to put myself first this time. This time they get Betty Crocker Brownie Mix ! ...but I'll throw some walnuts in there, too!! It's still going to be a little tough. :biggrin:

I've had other surgeries before (tonsillectomy, c-section, others) so I guess I am not that nervous about the actual surgery. The last time I was under, the tube scratched up my esophagus and made my reflux feel so bad. Other than that, I am not that worried. I'm more worried about the post op and making sure I do the right things so I don't have complications later.

Add me to June 9th!

CarrieD your are added and leepizz you are moved!

The thing I most worry about is not making it back to my children. That if something were to happen would this weight surgery thing be worth leaving my children for...but on the other side if I continue adding this weight I won't live my life to it's fullest and it will be cut short. With my other surgeries..c sections, hysterectomy those really weren't by choice. I guess you could look at it that this isn't by choice either..it is really about life and death.

All of the clearances are in; I see my surgeon on Tuesday morning, I am expecting a June surgery date.

I just got back from the store and bought all the liquid diet and protein stuff. It really did make it seem more real and I felt like I finally had control. (after jumping though all the hoops to get here)

I am a nurse and have NO anxiety about the actual procedure. (I work at the health system in which the surgery will be performed) I am not worried about the liquid diet or the next 6 months, what I wonder about is the long term. I know this is a life long committement. I know I am ready to start it; I just hope I can maintain it. Do you know what I mean?

:biggrin:

Wow there sure are a lot of us in June!!! I have lots of company on the 12th!! I wasn't too nervous and it seemed so far off as I had vacation coming up. But I just got home today and it was a cruise. I tried not to over do it too much but must admit I did have some of that last supper mentality. Tomorrow I am going shopping for some of the liquid protien and protein bars for samples so I know which ones I like and can stock up on those. Thurs. I have a stress test and can't have any caffeine for 48 hours prior so figure this is a good time to give up the Diet Coke habit. I have my last one planned for Memorial Day!! LOL I am hopeful that after the stress test that my date gets moved to the 5th or 6th (a possibility according to the scheduler) but if not the 12th will be here soon!
