Hello all you fellow lap banders!

I have read many of your posts over the last couple of weeks and finally decided to join today! Seems like a great place for both support and to get answers from fellow lapbanders!

Well, I have to admit, my lapband surgery is tomorrow and Im finally scared. I've been so excited for so long and now Im scared. I know that's normal though as many of you have probably gone through that phase!

Wish me luck!

want to add ticker

Hey Disneyland -

Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow! Post again when you can and let us know how you're doing.

You will find your weight loss fast in the beginning, then it will slow down, but don't get discouraged. You'll see from reading posts here that it's normal. Some people keep loosing fast, some don't, just remember that we're all different.

I had one week of a pre-op diet where I lost 10# and the rest has been seen by banding date, but I've included all in my weight loss ticker.

Just follow the eating plan that you're doctor gives you and try not to stray from it too much, and you'll be succesful! Best of luck!

hi disneyland congrats on your surgery. welcome to your brand new life.i,m not banded yet. hopefuly sept. we are rooting for you.

hey disney,

GOOD LUCK tomorrow! Keep us all posted, I am getting banded on Wednesday and can't wait! I am starting to get nervous now, but I know it will be ok.

Good luck tomorrow. Nerves are just part of having this procedure done. You wouldn't be normal if you didn't have atleast the slighest fear. I'm having mine done tomorrow also and I have little butterflies circling around in my tummy also. I'm sure everything will go just fine.

Best of luck to you!!

I am also getting baned this week, August 21st. Seems like it took forever for this day to come. I have a friend that had it almost 6 months ago and she is doing wonderful she has been my support system for pre-op. Best of luck to all of us

Hi Disney,

I am also getting banded tomorrow... and I am also nervous. I joined this site in June when I first starting looking into getting the band and I have to say it has been of great help. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to give their support.

Here is to us the up coming members of the August All Stars...

You good luck!
