Hi.

I got my date yesterday. September 15th. I had more choices than that, but that seemed like a good round number. I thought I’d be excited like I was the first time around.

I’m not. I’m kind of scared. I’m telling myself that it’s understandable since the first one failed. I’m about 30 pounds lighter now though and I’m going to keep up with the liquid diet until the surgery date. There will be no “last supper syndrome” for me this time.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello to the September Lappies, wave, cross my fingers, pray if you’d like and just give an all around “Way to #*$)%ing go!!”

Congratulations on getting another date. But what do you mean your second time around. What happen in March? Why no band?

Because of the way my fat is situated, my surgeon was unable to have full control on her sewing hand. They pulled out and decided I needed to lose more weight before we tried again. (I'm apple shaped, most of my fat is low on the "apple". My actually tummy area is slender, considering.)

I was 330-339 at the time of surgery. (No way to know for sure since I wasn't weighed the day of surgery or if I was, no one has bothered to pin down a number for me.) I'm at 304 and still losing.

Tragic? Maybe a little for me. I'm good though. My Doc had my saftey in mind and it's not like I haven't continued dropping the weight as I wait. :thumbdown:

Thanks for the congrats!!!!

Congratulations on your weight loss pandagirl. It sounds like you are really working at it. I know you must feel a lot of apprehension, after the build up for surgery the first time, but now, you'll be even healthier when you get your band. I'm also a September bander, and Mommie_of_4 has started the ball rolling to help us get organized to pick a September 08 group name. Come join us, and help pick a siggy name (if you're into that...haha). One thing I really like about this forum is that there is so many different groups to join to get support.
