That is a great idea!!! I am soooo excited, I can't stand it...All I want to do it to read this site, it's crazy! I am hoping for the best, but preparing myself mentally for the worst. I'm working on my will and funeral arrangements just in case...I told my husband that I could die in a car accident tomorrow so I'd better just be prepared. I find that if I'm prepared then I'm more relaxed and confident so that is what my plan is, but I'm still freakin out. I hope that this works for me. I have a good friend that had a band when they first came out, but it is not adjustable and she lost about 80 lbs and then put 30 back on, so she keeps trying to lose and lose, but she cheats by eating ice cream and candy...so that is why shes not losing...I am partial to Ben and Jerry's chocolate Fudge Brownie, but I only usually let myself have a pint when I'm "punctuating" But this last month I think I had 3 pints...oppps. Talk about last supper syndrome, it really is hard to curbe the head hunger... but that is why we are getting the band, to help us right? I'm sooo excited! I don't think I've been 145 since I was 8 or 9 years old, so I cannottttt wait!!! All the best to everyone, JaJeanne

Hi JaJeanne! I am on the 8th also. Good luck to you. I saw on another thread you started there are about 10-12 of us for tomorrow and we all feel the same way. It truly is the beginning of a new life. Hope we can all stay in touch and Celebrate our success!!

Oh my gosh! I am so excited, well, kind of. I think. In about 16 hours I will (should) be knocked out getting ready to get banded. I have everything ready, I hope, for myself and my family for afterwards. My only concern is that the doctor gives pain medication upon discharge, and I couldn't fill it this weekend. I have to wait until tomorrow. Oh, well, maybe I won't have to go to the pharmacy, and they will bring it to me.

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL MY BANDSTER SISTERS! KEEP ME INFORMED AS TO HOW YOU ARE DOING!!!!!

I finally got home from yesterday's surgery. I was bumped back some because of earlier surgery delays, and the radiology department closed before I was out of recovery, so no barium swallow until they got in this morning.

I am having more discomfort than pain really. I asked for nausea meds before we left the hospital so that the hour long drive home wouldn't be too bad on my stomach. Good call there.

All went well, would have liked to have been home yesterday, but it happens......didn't sleep well last night because I wasn't in my own bed, so I am a little sleept today, and very irritable.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
