Hello everyone my name is Olinka and I will be banded in just 2 days! On Tuesday the 4th. I am very excited and yet terrified. I keep wondering, what if something goes wrong? But NO i am gonna think positive! so any advice before the surgery?:rolleyes2:

This is my first post also, I am getting banded on 11/18. I am sure that everything will go wonderful. This is a very exciting time in our lives! Good luck!

I'm getting banded on the 7th and I'm soooo excited. I had a much more serious surgery a year ago and understand your concerns. This surgery has such minimal risk I have decided to focus on what the day will represent, "A new beginning"! We are about to change our lives and a year from now will be happier and healthier than we have been for some time. Picture yourself a year from now and where you'll be. Please post again after surgery and let us know how it went. You'll do great.

thank you.. you are right a new begining im thrilled. so i will definitelty post ad let you guys know. wow the 7th thats friday! we'll be banded the same week.

and mini me the 18th almost there. how are your pre op diets going are you guys hungry. I'm starving:tongue_smilie::rolleyes2::tongue_smilie:

Believe it or not Mayo does not require a "pre-op" diet as far as I know. I see my dietician tomorrow, I will write more then!
