I can't believe it! It is really happening! 1/12 is my date! I went to my first information session in 9/07! It took me 16 months to get my act together, go through the 6 month supervised medical weight loss plan and then follow up with all appointments, etc. I will be having my surgery with Dr. Ren at NYU!

Can't Wait!

January 16th for me!!

hi lizardgirl! I had my consultation with my dr. today and he told me that I'll only have to do 2-3 days of liquid diet prior to surgery, so I guess they have a couple of different ways of doing things! I'm going to take that as an extra blessing of making things easier for me and I'm confident in my doctor because of the research and recommendations I went through.

Anyway, I have my pre-op nutritional talk with a nutritionist on wednesday the 10th, gastro meeting the 11th, and endoscopy the 12th, friday morning. next week i'm going to get my exact surgery date - some lucky day in January - I CAN'T WAIT!!!

best luck to all of you january bandsters out there! Can't wait to cheer you on!! :wink_smile:

January 20th for me. I'm self-pay and I'm going to Mexico to get it done. It will be the best thing I've ever done with my life. Well, except for marrying my best friend.
