I just met with my doctor for the pre op visit. I was thinking that surgery would be in 2-3 weeks but he had a cancelation on Monday and can put me in that slot. I have to do a liquid diet starting tomorrow and report at 10:30 on Monday morning. My surgery will be at 1 pm. Very excited. I started my lapband journey in August 08 when I attended the seminar, did the 6 month diet and got my approval from insurance on March 9th.

Lap band surgery scheduled: 3-23-09!!!!!!!!

Lost - 16 lbs 6 month diet
