Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for surgery August 15. I am very excited but also a bit jittery. Planning to be stoic about all this. I am looking forward to getting this extra weight off me.

My doctor is John Debarros in Phoenix/Tempe Arizona. He specializes in both types of weight loss surgery.

I am also to be banded Sept 15th. I am super excited and super nervous all at the same time! Good luck to us. Tamara

Good luck to you, Tammy. Do you have to start on a presurgery diet soon? Bryn

I have to start a 2 week pre op diet on labor day!!

I am scheduled for August 15th, too! Just 2 days away. Like you, I am a little nervous.....I guess it is normal to question some things....like

will it work? what if I don't loose the weight? will I be hungry (especially the first 2 weeks after surgery)?

Good luck...and let's keep in touch with our progress

welcome to LBT. best of luck to you!!!

Hi Patrick, Good to hear from you. I, too, am afraid I will be the one who mysteriously doesn't lose weight. Oh, but that isn't realistic. I will be thinking of you, well maybe, before the slip the happy juice into my veins.

It's the beginning of a new way of life for us. healthier and slimmer. Good luck to you. Keep in touch.

I have been told that I will be uncomfortable very uncomfortable the day after surgery. So tell your friends to lay low that day.

Bryn
