Tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 22nd is my banding day. It's been almost a year since my first mandatory seminar, through 6 months of dieting and every test under the sun and two weeks on this horrible liquid only diet. But today is the bowel cleansing :embaressed_smile: which is making me very nauseated - so at least I've lost my hunger. I just hope everything goes well tomorrow. I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago - large abdominal incision, removal of a major organ, morphine IV and 6 weeks recovery. And I was up and walking the day of that surgery - so I don't anticipate this will be worse. But I am nervous. So, wish me luck. :cursing:

Wow your time has finally arrived! You will do great tomorrow. Good luck and keep a positive attitude :embaressed_smile:

Good luck to you Cleo's Mom! My big day is Wed the 24th. I had a hysterectomy in 2005 and recovered well from that too..so like you, I think we'll be ok with this. It took me 9 months to get here, so I'm really excited! A bit nervous too, I must admit.. but more excited.

Sending happy thoughts and prayers your way!!

Good luck to you tomorrow. We'll be thinking of you.

Good luck Cleo's mom and DD. You both will be fine. Keep us posted.

Thanks everyone. I hope to be back here soon after the surgery letting everyone know how it went.

Good luck to both of you!! You all are going to do wonderfully this week. I'm so happy for you. :embaressed_smile:

Thank you!! I will let you all know how it went.

(sept 22) my big day is tomorrow also. We will be fine. I am nervous and excited....

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

Good luck Sherry!

Hi Everyone - I am new to the site and will be part of the elite club of banders on Wed., September 24th (like DD). I will pray for all the pre and post op banders always. I can't wait to talk about life after being banded. God bless you all. P.S. Write soon, Cleo's Mom about how you are feeling after your banding tomorrow!

Welcome Jordan! Let me know how your surgery goes - when you're up and around.

I can't wait either for the weight to FINALLY start coming off..

I will be banded along with you tomorrow!:biggrin: I did the lovely bowl cleaning yesterday!:girl_hug: I don't feel very well today and I am thinking it is a combination of the bowel cleaning and 2 days of nothing but liquid.:sneaky:

Hopefully that it all it is!

I wish everyone the best of luck tomorrow!

We will have to compare notes!

God Bless you all!

My prayers to all of you having surgery tomorrow. I will be thinking of you all. Keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck to both of you. Hopefully I will be joining you guys within the next few months. I will pray for both of you.
