I am having my surgery on Tuesday of this week. Hope all of you December banders that have already had surgery are doing great. I am kinda nervous but I know it will be great in the end.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Hi everyone! For those of you that have had surgery already, I hope all stays well for you. I was wondering what exactly the DR talks about during a pre-op appointment. I have mine on Wednesday and I am just curious as to what to expect!!

I'm very excited for all of you to be banded this week! I will be thinking of all of you!

hi! my surgery is the 14th, and my preop is also this wednesday...from prior experience with surgery, it's just all tests -- ekg, blood, chest xray, etc.

nothing to worry about.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am also getting banded in December on the 18th. I have my pre-op on Dec. 15. I am on day 6 of my pre-op Atkins diet and I've lost 6 pounds. I have to lose 15 before surgery. Hope all the newly banded are doing well and just wanted to wish everyone good luck.:thumbup:

THANK YOU. I read your post at just the right time... when I was feeling really bad (sick) and seriously questioning my decision. Now I am well, looking forward to the future... motivated and inspired. Thanks again for brightening my day.
