Well I am getting banded on April 7th! Anyone else? I'm excited and nervous, but know that the future is going to be terrific! I've got nutrition class this Thursday, pre-surgery admission stuff on the 11th, and start the liquid diet for 2 weeks starting on the 19th. Time is going to fly!

Does anyone remember where the post was about what to get/bring before the surgery?

To all our April 1st'rs: Good luck and thanks for paving the way! I will be thinking and praying for each of you tomorrow but you better darn well let us know how it went! :biggrin:

Thank you KMCD. I will be praying for all of us bandsters tomorrow as well as the physicians that will be doing the surgery.

Today is the last day of pre-op and my last real food tonight until around April 13. I hope the next phase is as easy as the pre-op was.

I finally lost a few pounds on the pre-op. It was driving me crazy that I wasn't losing but then again I have never been a patient person either.

Good luck everyone tomorrow and in the month to come.

Hello....I am an "April Bandster"! I start my preop diet tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.

Anyone have any good suggestions for the protein shake? I need to have 2-3 per day...

Hello: I am also being banded on April 8. It has been a long journey for me but the time is finally here. Good luck on your surgery.

Just got the call today!!! APRIL 23RD!!!! :biggrin:

April 17th and so very excited!

I see that we are on the same day so we will have to keep in touch.. when do you start the preop diet

My surgery date is April 6th at 8:30 a.m. I have started my pre op diet and it's driving my crazy. I'm a little scared for some odd reason because I have had surgery before. I'm trying not to change my mind. Just a little confuse at this time.:biggrin:

Mona, I'm having surgery on the 6th too! Try to focus on the excitement of how healthy and awesome you're going to look and not so much on the fear. That's what I'm doing. I'll find out on Friday what time my surgery will be.

You can do this and it will be GREAT!
