My husband is sick!!! Pray that I don't catch it. I DON"T want to postpone mine may 21 date. Grandson graduating tomorrow night. No, they didn't put me on a pre op. They didn't my friend either but did my daughter. They said it's your BMI? that determines that???

Where do you paste the link in order for that to happen?

I'm Friday the 22nd! I can't believe it's this week! That came FAST! Let's all keep in touch.

Thanks SarahB....Your Awsome!!!

Sassy I'd love for all the May 20 somethings to continue to write!

2 days and counting!!!! who else feels like they're going to throw up at the thought of it??? I had to show my 7 year old the diagram this morning of what it is they're doing to me, poor kid looked like he was going to pass out. The best way to explain it to your kids, is that your stomach is going to be like an hourglass (use wizard of oz as example, when dorothy is locked up) They'll get it immediatly. a friend of mine used that trick to tell her 4 year old, and now when they eat dinner, her son brings a little hour glass to the table.

i do!!!! i've been trying not to think about it. it seems so surreal. one week from today, i'm gonna be banded. weird! if i let it, my stomach will go into nots instantly!

i use the hour glass description when i explain the procedure to anyone. it just makes sense!

I'm going for my band on the 29th NYU- doing the liquid diet now! It's tough, but I know it'll be worth it

Hi, Mine is on Friday the 22nd. I am so excited and I don't feel nervous yet.

I have been on liquids only since Sunday. I had my pre op at the hospital yesterday and with the surgeon today. They gave me the stomach soap liquid to start using tomorrow. Did y'all get that as well? I found out that my red toe nail polish is okay during surgery, just not blue, black or purple. I wear clear polish on my finger nails only. I will be staying overnight in the hospital. Anyone else? GB

I am with you all I am the 28th and in one way wish it would be here and over with in another not so much. LOL I am doing good on the pre op diet, dr wanted me to lose 10 lbs and as of today I have done that since my last visit, 14 or so overall. So I have 8 more days or so so I guess I can drop another lb or 2 in that time.

i'm on Protein shakes and a lean cuisine and ANYTHING green... lettuce, broccoli, etc. but still I AM HUNGRY!!!

this sucks! but i know in the end it's all worth it. less than 72 hours now!

Funny I was told no dark or bright polish of any color but light or semi sheer color was fine. I also have acrylic on my nails and they said that was fine.
