HELLO MY NAME IS LINDA PIERRE I AM 29 YEARS OLD. I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL KIDS KAYCE 10 AND GRANT 7. I AM MARRIED TO MY TRUE LOVE GERALD. I AM GETTING MY LAP BAND IN TWO DAYS. I AM SOOO TERRIBLY NERVOUS !!!!!! I AM SURE EVERYONE HAS THOSE PRE NERVE JITTERS!!!DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY GOOD ADVICE ??? I HAVE BEEN ON MY LIGUID DIET SINCE MARCH 31. I AM SO SICK OF CHICKEN BROTH LOL. WELL EVERYONE PLEASE WISH ME LUCK !! I WILL MESSAGE BACK WHEN I GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL ON FRIDAY APRIL 10.:thumbdown:

Maybe its not really nerves but the excitement of taking care of yourself? I was so ready to get the band when I did, I couldn't wait. You are young and I am sure healthy, or you wouldn't have been approved, so the surgery should pose no problems for you. Good luck and live every moment of this life changing time to its fullest.... its all for you now! Take care of yourself!!!!

congratts on your soon surgery dont worry its a piece of cake for me it was just gas pain in my shoulder after surgery but with hot green tea it went away so hope to hear from you soon...lol

Saying hello from CT!!

Congrats on the date!!! :thumbdown: I know how you feel because I am being banded tomorrow(4/8) and I am very nervous and excited as well. The liquid diet does suck but at the end it was all worth it...:sneaky:

Good Luck on your surg. I wish you well. keep us updated on your progress as I will do the same!!!:confused:

Hi Linda,

My partner was banded yesterday. It was a bit rough after surgery but she's doing really well today - we're even going to visit some friends tonight. Hope you're doing as well as she is.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.
