I am scheduled for February 25! So excited I can hardly stand it! The hard part is being patient for Feb. 25 to get here!:tongue2:

Hey, my surgery date is Feb 25 too! And we are almost the same age, I am 47! I am in Virginia, where are you? How long has the process taken you? It's been 10 months for my journey to surgery...... I am hoping to lose at least 75 lbs but 100 would be awesome :-)

Keep in touch and hopefully we can make the next few weeks fly by...

Take care

You will not wake up with it. If they use a tube, they take it out before you are awake so you do not have to deal with it! Don't be nervous, be happy!

Hi Terri!

Wow, we have alot of similarities! I'll be banded on Feb. 25, I hope to lose 100 pounds but would be thrilled to lose at least 75, and we're just about the same age (I'll turn 47 this year). I live in northern Vermont, and started the process back in May of 2008 with my initial visit to my PCP. I had my intro class and psych eval in July, and started my supervised diet in September. Got my insurance approval in mid December. I've lost 20 pounds so far pre-op, and I'm guessing I'll drop a few more when I do my 10 day full liquid diet just prior to my surgery. I am so excited and optomistic that I will be able to get this weight off forever. I am a really healthy obese person with some bad genetics predisposing me to many obesity related disorders. My only co-morbid is sleep apnea. I'm hoping that the sleep apnea will go away once I lose a bunch of weight, although I have adjusted very well to being a "hose head" for the past year and a half! My kids think I look like Darth Vader with my sleep apnea aparatus on! My husband says its like sleeping with an F-16 fighter pilot! LOL! Anyhow, I'd love to correspond, since we will starting our lap band journeys at exactly the same time. My email is doodle1229@gmail.com- would love to hear from you!

I'm scheduled for February 20th. WHAH-HOO!!

SO, what are we going to call ourselves? I like "February Foxes"!:scared2:

I was scheduled for December 5, but had a injury at work, and ended up having to have the first of 2 surgeries on my knee 12/4, so there went that plan! My Orthopedist only just cleared me for lapband surgery, for any time after Feb 2. My lab band surgeon wants me able to bear wt at least 2 weeks before doing surgery, so... Feb 20! Just in time to be on Clear liquids for my birthday, yippee!
