yes, I am excited, and nervous, and hoping that it all goes well.

I am in the mmc program too, surgery to be done in Scarborough, by Dr. Wolff.

Not sure if I will be up for posting tomorrow, but I should be able to do so before your turn on Friday!

good luck! :thumbup:

Hello Everyone!

I'm getting banded on the 11th. Just registered to the forums today.

So, you know, it's already been a big month for me!

(Of course every month is a 'big" month, which is why I'm getting the band... Ba-da-bump!)

i started the process on 10/31 where they told me everything i needed to do.:angry: There was so much that it was overwhelming, :w00t:but i did everything ASAP.:wink2: as a matter of fact the surgical coordinator told me that i have the record for completing all my test the fastest.:thumbup: i had to do the sleep apnea test, psy and nutrionist before i could get a date. then i had to do a UGI series, abdominal sonogram, echo, stress test, pulmonary function test, and attend a lap band group before the surgery. everything was done by 12/16 and got a date for 2/4 in december:thumbup:. I just got my insurance approval about 2 weeks ago and i am just happy. i have been overweight all my life, but have went up and down also. :crying:i have doing jenny craig for a year and i am 5 pds heavier now then when i started.:confused: i just really wanted to stop the viciuos cycle of the yo-yo dieting. i am so happy and excited just writing this post makes me want to cry when i think of my wieght loss struggle. Weight loss is so dear to my heart because it has been the most challenging thing in my life. i wish you all the best on your surgery as well!!!

my date is 2/16. i start my diet this w/e. 2 liquid shakes and 1 meal a day. i am very nervous/excited. i always have these crazy thoughts like "what if i am one of those people that doesn't lose any weight" anyone else ever think like that? good luck to everyone. :angry:

You are not alone, I am so scared that I am going to fail. I know that I want this so bad though so I have to do it, failing is not an option! The fear is still there though......

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
