Hi all,

I have been preparing for this surgery since August and now that it's the day after tomorrow, I'm getting extremely nervous. I keep thinking the result (losing and keeping off the weight) will be worth it.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who is nervous!

Hi there,

I'm being banded on Tuesday also, so you have company. There are others on here as well. Don't worry too much. I'm sure everything will go fine and we have lots to look forward to. :confused:

Are you on any special pre-surgery diet? I'm on Protein sparing (since Thursday). It's not as hard as I thought it would be, but glad I don't have to do it longer.

Take care! I'm sending lots of good wishes your way.

I'm in the same boat I'm having mine Wednesday Jan 28.09 now that it is real close I'm getting scard.

yep I'm on liquids too.

I'm also being banded on Wednesday, and my doctor has me on the 2 week liquid diet. I'm nervous, but so excited!

Good luck to you all!

Hi All, i was banded 4 days ago, you will all be fine, i was very scared too, & looking back now there was no need to be

look forward to the new you & the weight coming off :confused:

Thanks for the replies! I am on a 2 week pre-op diet that is all liquid except I can have 4 oz protein and 1/2 non-starchy veggie. I am down 13 lbs since I started it. Following it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would. :confused: Good luck to all the people getting banded this week! I'm glad I'm not the only one excited and nervous.

I am the 27th also. I am scared that something will happen and they want be able to do surgery. I have been on no fat, no starchy foods too. I did go out last night and have one last meal before surgery. I hate it now that I did but it was sure good. So we have one more full day to go. I am ready to see the pounds go away.

I think everyone gets a little nervous. I was terrified. Being banded was my first surgery. Everything went fine and I have never regretted a moment of it.
