Talk to you soon!

I am banded this week! Friday is my day, so only one day past yours!

I am getting banded on Sunday. The first day of the week in Israel is Sunday.

I am getting banded this Friday as well! I am looking forward to my journey!

I am getting banded on Thursday morning at 7:30 a.m.:huh2:

Is anybody scared or just ready to get it done? I am a school teacher so I have been really busy at work and all of a sudden it is here! Yikes!!! At least I have the rest of the week and next week to recuperate (Spring Break). Good luck to everyone!

Good luck everyone this week, not too long now. It is just a matter or days! YAY! I can't wait to look for everyone's progress! I am down 16 LB in preop and I am hoping I can loose another 2 before Friday to get into ONEDERLAND! YAY!

glad to see so many people are getting banded this week! hopefully we can keep in touch as we start our journey and help each other thru the rough days...

im so excited and nervous.... i just cant believe the day is here! i wish everyone good luck this week and cant wait to start sharing our experiences!!

I will be laying in the OR at 7:30 tomorrow morning....all I can say is I hope and pray this is the right thing for me.

I've been very confident in my desicion up until the last few days, now suddenly it seems like every post I read is someone complaining about their band.

Please keep in touch I'd love to have some great folks to commiserate with!!

Good Luck to us ALL!!

I'm getting banded the 31st!! Is that close enough to this week to count!!! I hope all of your surgeries go well!!!

I was banded yeasterday, my 62nd birthday. Am having a lot of pain. Surgery took twice as long as my surgeon explained I had so much scare tissue from my previous surgeries. But I woke up with th Band and that is all that counts. I am ready to start my new lifestyle. Good luck to everyone still getting banded this week. There is a lot of us.

good luck everyone! just a few more hours until i am in the OR...

Staree, good luck! I know you a nervous, but all will be fine & you will be home before you know it! Let us know how it goes. I will pray for you!

I was banded on Monday 3/23. I am feeling much better now that I am 3 days post op. All I can say is take your pain meds, don't skip, take them every 4 hours. I thought I would be okay just taking tylonol the day after surgery and did way too much on my first day post op. I am now just feeling better. Good luck to all of you getting banded this week

Just a few more hours till I go now, I have to report at 5:30AM in the morning..
