Hi, I am scheduled for surgery on November 21!!! I have hesitated to say anything in case it got delayed somehow.

I decided to join this group because there does not seem to be any "traffic" on the 70's forum and this seems to be very active. . I started my pre-op diet on Thursday, 1 day early - - it is a liquid diet. So far, so good. I have learned a lot from this website and so glad I found it.

I am scheduled for surgery today. I couldn't sleep so I got up early. It hardly seems possible all the tests are done, the preop diet, the doc visits...the big day is here. I will be 60 on the 16th. I am from sw Pa.

Cherreg -

By the time you read this you will have had your surgery. I hope everything went well and that you have a quick recovery.

Hi There, I would be happy to talk with you, while you await your surgery. I had surgery 2 1/2 years ago & have lost over 100 lbs. I am at goal & feeling good (although somewhat fatigued at times). I was 64 having my surgery & I'll be 67 in Feb.

Keep in contact if you want to talk.

Welcome Babydear! I hope your surgery went well. Stay in touch. It's fun and a good way to keep on track.

I wondered how did your surgery go? Mine went good except I had the gas pains in my lt shoulder and neck. Are you losing weight very fast? I get alittle hungrier now than I did at first. I go to the doc tommorrow.

I was banded on 11/21 and everything went great. I am home from my daughters (she felt that I needed some extra care and I was happy to oblige lol). I feel wonderful I am starting to have some hunger pangs-probably just head hunger- need something to chew on. Saw the doc yesterday and tried to get him to let me advance my diet --huh!! don't think so. I get to start mushies on 12/12. Will see the doc again on Jan. 12 for a fill.

Hope everyone is doing as well as I am.
