My date is Dec 17th also, and yes, I am nervous. I went to visit a friend in the hospital on friday only to find out this was the wing that I was going to have my lapband and gallbladder procedure done. I got to see how it will all go down! I even saw my surgeon racing thru the hallways back and forth--he seemed very busy. It's gonna be all right. I think the only pain we will feel is needles and then the afterwards will feel like I have been doing too many sit ups so my surg says. I can handle that with the drugs. I more worried about people seeing me naked and being on my period during surgery! crazy I know! Just think how happy we will be a year from now when we are a lot thinner!We cannot fail! dont even use that word!

You are very welcome! What time is your surgery? Mine is 9am central time, I guess he has a gallbladder to take out before mine. Sounds like the surgery is easy. I went to a support group back in August and a guy was in there that had the surgery the day before and got to go home the same day. He said it was "no big deal". I would probably get to go home the same day but they are telling me that I live too far away to let do that. I live an hour from the hospital. I will be thinking of you that day. My psychologist told me they could give me "something" if I get to anxious about surgery. I think she might have meant a xanax??? I had lasik surgery in 2005. I figure if I could have someone cut on my eyes then I could sure handle something to make my thinner! I have done and tried it all. This is my last resort to a thinner better me! :biggrin: Good luck to youand my God Bless us all! OH wait! He already has! :biggrin:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
