I am approved and going in for Lap Band Surgery on June 12th. I am very excited but nervous as well...I think the hardest part for me is going to be the weeks prior when I have to be on the restricted diet. My husband is being very supportive by saying he will eat what I do and if he needs a fix he will do it at lunch time out with his work gang. I have read a lot of info about the surgery and have decided not to stress/be excited about it and be like Scarlet O'Hara and not worry about it until tomorrow. I hope this will work until at least a few days prior. Thanks for listening...as you probably can see I am new at the forum thing...

i think you have a fantastic attitude - all the best w/your surgery!!!

Congrats on approval and a surgery date! :thumbup:

I'm so bad! I was picturing Scarlett gorging on food in her bedroom before being cinched tightly! I think I might need to go have another psych eval. now! :-) Thanks for the positive attitude and giving me a little giggle.

Thanks...perhaps if we still had whale bone corsets I wouldn't be having to have this surgery as it would have acted like a band but on the outside...have a great day...

Pre op diet starts tomorrow...Optifast and non starchy veggies for 2 weeks...Scarlet will be cinching in her waist line soon...or perhaps the proper thing to say is that she won't have to be cinching it in...wish me luck...
