I will have my office band surgery date by Monday

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to get this started. I plan on starting my pre surgery diet prep on Monday. It is a lifestyle thing and I can't wait. The thought of being able to play sports again rather than watch them. Just be active in the outdoors rather than just sitting on the sidelines. To be able to make love more than once a night. I can't wait to appreciate the food I eat, rather than let it comfort me. I want to live!

Okay....sorry for my rants......just want to Celebrate what is to come.

Allan, I could not agree with you more. I use to be so active. Running, jogging, playing sports. I use to have so much energy. Then I gained weight...A lot of weight, which really impeded my ability just to walk. Back pain, knee pain, and ankle pain kept me from doing what I really enjoyed doing.

But now that I am banded, I have so much energy. I am active and I exercise 5x a week doing what I love to do jogging and power walking.

Congrats on your decision to have the band. You will not regret it. It will give you the energy to get back in the game.

Not so much scared---my office mate just had it done through a different program and watching her has been comforting. I am worried that I will have unrealistic weight loss expectations. But overall I just want it done and over with. This whole process has taken me 1 year and I am ready to move on to the next step.
