Ahhh, I'm so excited. I've been living in LBT for about 2-3 months now. Monday is my surgery date. I'm excited and nervous, just a bit nervous though. I'm trying to get everything ready at home so my hubby (who is taking 2 days off work to take care of me) wouldn't have to do much.

Can't wait!

Any May 12th Bandster? I would love to keep in touch with people who is getting the band around the same time with me. We can be each other support!!

Funny storry though. My general doctor called me today after I faxed over the Weight and Blood Sugar Log to her. First thing she said to me was " I need to see you, your sugar is horrible!" Then she paused and goes, "oh wait, nevermind. I was looking at your weight...your sugar is great!!!"

Now she wants info on my doctor, so she could have more information for other patients who are thinking about doing the LapBand!

Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all~!!

Congrats. I wish you lots of luck.

congratulations! Keep us posted on your progress after the surgery.

i will sure do that, thanks Froggi & Coco

^___^

So literally the diet starts Monday?! :biggrin2:

Best of luck!

I'm May 12th too! I have to be their at 7:15 a.m. and surgery sometime around 9:15 a.m.

Good luck to you, I'm sure we'll do fine :smile:

Hi Disneyfreak,

Does this make us Band-twins? hahaha, I'm super excited!

I got a call from the OR to actually set up my surgery time. Boy, never though being diabetic would ever come in handy, I was wrong. Once the nurse realized that I'm diabetic, she told me " I will put you as the first patient of the day"

Which means I will have to be at the hospital at 8 AM, and my surgery will be done at 10.

I'm so excited I could hardly sit still now.. hehehe (No, I'm not high, just excited)

I hear ya'. I'm more nervous than excited right now. I live an hour and a half away from the hospital so my husband and I will go down the night before and stay at a hotel while my son stays with my parents. Didn't really feel like having to get up at 4:00 a.m. :smile:

Okay bandster twin, we're gonna do great! :smile:

I'm having my surgery on the 12th too!

Welcome aboard!!!

Im on the 12th also!!!! I'd love a band day buddy or two... or more hahah.

Welcome! Jeistre and swtbtrcup!!

It's nice to meet my bandster twins/siblings!! Hope you guys are ready for Monday. I just can't wait!!

I'm nervous! I still have to be down 3-4 pounds by Monday (need to get back down to 264) has anyone heard of a doctor not doing surgery because you were 1 or 2 pounds away from what they said you should be on surgery day?

I'm doing only liquids until Sunday midnight (with having to take a bowel prep on Sunday).

I'm freakin' out!!!

Hey~

I am getting banded on Monday the 12th too...my nerves are really getting the best of me.

Getting things in order at home for recovery but just can't help to be soooooo nervous. Had lots of trouble with the pre-op diet due to pms and am worried I didn't shrink my liver.....we'll see.

Best of luck to you fellow bandster!!

Best wishes to you as well. Well, at least we can take comfort in knowing we'll all be nervous together on the same day :tt1:.

I have stuck to a low carb diet the last two weeks and went from 282 to 267 (my weight as of tonight). I hope after another day of liquids I'll be there by Monday morning. Why do the insurance companies/doctors like to torture us so?!?

The way my liver is hurting it seems like there is no way it has shrunk. Im trying to not worry about it.
