Hi all, I am being banded on 28th May in Adelaide, Australia. I am really excited that it's only 10 days away! I started the process in September 07 so it's great to know the wait is finally over.

I had heaps of questions about banding, such as vegan Meal Replacements and whether flying affects the band, but so far these have all been answered already on this forum! I have gained lots of valuable information from here so I thought I had better join. I will let you know how the banding goes :thumbdown:

Hi Shaz, and welcome. You are right, LBT definitely has lots of information and answers to most of ones band questions. Keep us posted on how things are going for you, it won't be long now.

Congratulations!! Keep us posted.

Hi and welcoem to LBT! Are you on a pre-op diet? The next 10 days will pass before you know it. Good luck!

Thanks for the well wishes. It's only 4 days to go now so I am really excited! I'm not on any special diet yet, although I have been having Ensure a couple of times a day to make sure I am as healthy as possible with all those Vitamins :cursing:

I feel like I have jumped through so many hoops - I have had multiple pre-op blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, etc. I have a 'last minute' lung function test on Tuesday 27/05 as the surgeon is concerned about my asthma. I have passed all the other tests ok, so I'm not expecting any problems. I am looking forward to having the surgery over & done with so they will just leave me alone (apart from the fills of course)! :thumbup:

Shaz! Tomorrow is the big day! How are you feeling?
