Hi all!

Yesterday I got approved for my lap band and today I got a surgery date of February 10th. Anyone else?

It doesn't seem real, somehow, maybe because I've been jumping through hoops for so long!

Had my preadmission testing today and just waiting to make sure that Feb 10th will actually happen. I had an abnormal EKG and so I had to had an ECHO and a stress test and I think they were OK but have not received official word. THe "pioneers" are adding up and soon we will join them. Let's keep in touch.

Oh mi god Peachwood, I'd be beside myself not knowing yet! Are you doing opti anyway or have you been let off the hook? When do you find out? Good luck, let me know what happens.

goodluck to all of yall!! I was band Feb 3 and it is so much easier than I could have EVER imagined! Yall relax and I wish yall the best of luck!!

Just got my confirmation this PM. So I will start my CL on Monday. No other preop diet required! getting ready!

Peachwood, congratulations! And how lucky you are to just have Clear liquids on Monday!

We're in the home stretch, folks!

Peachwood I'm as jealous as all hell! Well done to you, I guess you paid the price in worry and uncertainty! Good luck everyone - are you all freaking or what? I'm actually quite calm today, not starving too much and not worrying too much. Mostly worried about leaving my kids and husband and making sure everything is good at home so I dont have to do much for the next week. Cant believe its 2 days away! WOW!:cursing:

I have been eating all the things I know I will not be able to have for awhile like bread, shrimp, etc. But not overeating. As of Monday it will be CL for 2 days and then two weeks of FL. I will have to get creative. Need to do a little shopping. Gas-X strips, Miso, Papaya enzyme ( just in case)to add to the regular items.
