Hi Everyone! I am going to be banded on 10/15/08. I am nervous and excited but feeling great.:smile2:

Congratulations!

Congrats! My date is also 10/15! We should stay in contact and lean on on another for support. Sound good? I'll send you a friend request. Keep in touch.

Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I do. :tongue2: I start mine on the 1st. The Dr.'s nurse told me that I needed to have 3 Protein shakes a day and two healthy meals.(low fat, low carb)

Anyway, I can't wait. The 15th will not be here soon enough! :wink2:

Rulooknatme sounds great and it is nice to meet someone with the same surgery date. I do not have to do a preop diet but I am. I am going to being doing the new life style protein meal replacement shakes and a healthy meal a day. I am really nervous but more excited to be getting this fresh start at weightloss with a tool I believe is really going to help me. Talk to you real soon.

Sounds like we have a deal. :thumbup: Well, good luck with your pre-op diet. I think that it's great that your doing it even though you don't have to. 18 Days and counting!!! I can't wait! Keep in touch. :frown:

congrats on getting your band-date!!!

I am getting banded Oct 14th at Maples in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am on day 6 of Optifast and am really needing support! I can have 3 Optifast and up to 2 cups of non-starch vagetables a day. Apart from wanting to chew my own arm off - things are great!! I am so looking forward to dealing with my weight issue once and for all. At least now when I do the right things I will see results.

Where is everybody from? I am from Regina Saskatchewan.

Congratulations!

I get banded on the 14th!!!
