Hello all! I have an appointment Oct. 20th with my doctor and I will get my surgery date on that day. I was told by the office staff that it should be about two weeks from when I meet with him. Which means I will be a November 2009 Bandster. Anyone else out there yet with a prospective November surgery date? What are you going to do to kill time so you don't get too excited and jump out of your skin like I feel like I might!

Hi, I am having Surgery in the Morning, I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am, the hospital is 35min. away from where I live, I have lost 15lbs. on the pre-op diet, I am kinda proud of my self, I wished I would have did it sooner, becoming a band patient motivated me more, I guess.

Good Luck! :scared2:

Hello everyone my name is Ashlee and I'm joining the crew as well! My surgery date is November 19 and I am so excited and just thanking God right now. I'm getting antsy I want the day to be here already. We are embarking on a great journey I wish everyone well and keep me posted, to everyone being banded week 1 of November congrats and see you on the other side!!!!!!:scared2:

10 days before my liquid preop diet i'm trying hard not to over do it but it's sooooooo tempting. Anyone ever sat down at a restaurant and ate more than they should have. All my friends were egging me on and I feel pretty guilty right now.

I keep thinking of how I won't be able to eat this much of this and that after surgery. But I am so ready anyway. Jumping out of my skin just can't stand the wait.

Hi I am being banded on the 16th and I am so happy. I guess the quitting smoking and the liquid diet will be a real test of my committment to a new way of life.

I have my date too! November 11th :scared2: Boy won't this be something to remember.

I'm really struggling with the liquid pre-op and I cheated the first few days but yesterday I stuck to it. I'm down 11 lbs since Oct 28.

I am scheduled on the 10th. Started the pre op diet and so far not too bad! I have a bit of a headache, but I am sure that will go away.
