Hello All: I've only posted a few time during the prep phase. Just wanted to say "HELLO" I'm Dee from Southeast Michigan. Being banded on August 26th. It's official, I started my pre-op diet today (4 shakes/1 meal). The closer it gets, the more nervous I get! Good luck to all those out there.

Welcome to the August All Stars! I felt the same way, nervous, but it is well worth the effort. The surgery was not as scary as I thought it would be and I was in and out of the hospital on the same day!

Hi Dee, and welcome! This board is absolutely fabulous. We've got folks who are almost a week post-op and about a zillion of us just chomping at the bit to go! Stick around and soak up the inspiration and support. I love it! :wink_smile:

Hey Dee and Welcome!! I am one of the chompers! Being banded the day after you and starting my preop this Saturday!! I'm sure you'll learn a lot here!

Welcome Dee!:w00t:

Welcome Dee! Everyone is here for each other! :thumbup:
