:eek: Hi everyone. I just joined and wanted to say hi. I will be having my lap band surgery October 22nd and I am very excited. Its been a long time coming and can't wait to start my journey. :w00t:

Same here. I'm new and also scheduled for 10/22 - good luck! :w00t:

I am a newbie as well. My surgery is scheduled for Nov 4th, 2008. I am very excited! I do have some anxiety re: anesthesia. I do not like the fact that I have to go to sleep for the band however, I do not want to stay awake! I am so looking forward to having the tool that I need to lose the weight. I start my liquid diet on the 28th. My Dr has me doing two liquid meals and one regular meal of choice till surgery. Good luck to you on the 22nd. :w00t:
