Anyone out there have a October 2009 surgery date? Mine is scheduled for October 27 and I can't wait! I am having a bit of 'reality' anxiety I think.. now that the date is actually set - but I know this is the best decision for me.

Good Luck to all of us who are taking this important step in improving our health and starting a 'new life'

Would love to hear from other Oct 2009 bandsters... :thumbup:

Hi

Am going to be banded on 28th October - so excited but it seems so far away......I am relieved to read that I am not the only one having a string of last suppers.....but back to work tomorrow when I find it much easier to be good, really need to start being good as I have put on 9lbs since arranging the surgery....good luck to us all

I know what you mean!! I am trying but its hard, will have to be stronger after banding....

im scheduled for October 26th at 7:30am! I too have had the last supper syndrome! gained about 10lbs while scheduling everything! so mad but I am starting new tomorrow, I am going to do a slimfast shake and low cal foods to get a jump start for myself! wish me luck! cant wait to be a bandster:lol:

Good Luck!! I am sure you will be ok when you get your head around it, not sure I have yet!!

Yep Oliver...Dr. Chris. I've done a ton of research and he seems like the best option. Are you going by train or plane?

I am flying from Heathrow to Brussels will arrive about 4.00 pm the day before. It was the only decent time flight I could get from nearish to me, about an hour and half on the train. How are you going to get there?

My date is October 20. YESSSSSS

Good luck!

Hello Everyone! I too am nervous as heck. My surgery is October 14. I am trying to lose at least 5lbs by then.

Hi are any of you going to Dr Chris in Belgium or staying

at the Campanile in Vilvoorde?

I am scheduled for Oct 2nd.... Getting nervous.... but I am ready:blush:

Just got my date! October 15!! I'm so excited. It'll be here before we know it!

I have a date of October 13. I have to go on Optifast for 4 weeks prior....the length of time is because of my high BMI. I start the pre-op diet on Sept. 18th. Has anyone had Optifast and if so how does it taste??:blushing:

Hi All!

I am scheduled for October 29th. It is great to see you all here! I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I really want to lose weight and feel better! I will keep checking as you guys are all that I have keeping me going pre-surg.... you understand!

Peace!:w00t:

Yes, I am excited and can hardly wait myself. Mine is October 13th. I wish all of you the best and look forward to sharing our success stories in the near future.
