Checking around to see if anyone is being banded on the 28th?

On the two week pre-op diet and so far holding strong. :scared2:

Still have my little panic attacks:ohmy: about the whole thing even though I have NO doubt that this is the right thing for me.

Hey Jean!

You're not alone! I'm also getting banded on the 28th of Jan in Adelaide, Australia! Just done one week of pre op diet one more week to go cant say its the most exciting thing i have done but it hasnt been as bad as i exepcted! Im having mixed emotions too but the weight loss from the Optifast is keeping me motivated!

Em.

I go on the 28th! I have been home alone tonight so I have been thinking about it more and more and starting to get excited. I have been doing the pre op diet for a week now and for the first time I cheated....I ate a fun size candy bar....anyway I have lost about 7 lbs so far! I hope to lose four more this week.

Thats great that you have lost 7lb! Its worth it hey! I been good so far havent cheated but it hasnt been easy, cant wait to have a little more variety after the op :thumbup:

My Doctor tentively put me in his schedule for Jan. 28th but I havent heard anything back from my insurance. they told me it could take up to 90 days. I don't understand why this is such along process especially after I was required by the insurance co. to see a nutritionist for 6 months.

Here's to all of us being banded tomorrow. A lot nervous but excited at the same time!!!

Congrats to all who were banded on the 28th :thumbup: got home this morning, little sore but tolerable :scared:
