This may be too soon or maybe already started but I got my date for December 2nd and thought us December Bandsters should start to follow each other. Any takers? How's the preop appointments going? the preop diet? Any news is good news! (except for the fact that I have to quit smoking!!!!) :blushing:

Just found this on another thread, and got one myself...

How to add ticker.

Go to www.tickerfactory.com

Build your own ticker

At the end it gives you a BB code for your ticker

Copy it and paste it in your profile signature

The last part is your own tickers code like wS1FSj6

To update your ticker go to www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wS1FSj6

neat designs..........

Question I am having surgery on Thursday the 10th but, I have to go tomorrow and meet the guy who is putting me to sleep has anyone had to do this?????

I have never heard of meeting with him ahead of time.....but f it is before your surgery, like you have to be there and hour or two ahead, and that is when you are meeting with him, then that is routine. He wants to find out your history, and possible problems and if you have sleep apnea, etc.

This is a good sign!! Hope mine meets with me ahead of time, beacuse every chance I have to make my case a more personal one in their minds, the better the care I will get, methinks.

Would not wanna be a number...:thumbup:

>smile<

CONGRATS I want to hear from you when you feel like getting back on here..don't wait till you have a need; we all need to hear you made it!!! Like my weight loss ticker?? Just got it......

I had my surgery yesterday. Everything went well except the terrible gas pains I had when I woke up.

Thanks so much I will post tomorrow to let you know why meeting with him tomorrow instead of surgery..smooches

I'm getting excited. My pre-op is this Friday the 11th.

How many days out did you all have to start your liquid diets?

We have the same date! Good luck to you all!

Hello Terri,

We are on similar paths. As a self pay patient things did move very quickly. I am on day 8 of the pre-op liquids and slowly going insane. My warped sense of humor keeps me going though. I have a Dec. 15 date in Nashville and looking forward to even drinking broth. As for Christmas events, I have normally just opted not to go. Okay, most of them I wouldn't want to go to normally so this is working out ha ha. I have chosen not to share this surgery with anyone so I sure don't care for the questions on why I am not chowing down and throwing back drinks. Good luck. Me, I am a big chicken but I am going forward with it just the same.

Good evening everyone.

I start my 14 day pre-op weight loss in a week and was wondering if I should pig out OR start cutting back now? Cutting back seems like it might make it easier but I might could find some comfort eating whatever I want this last week.

What did you early Dec bandsters do?

Please advise.

Good luck to all..........:thumbup:

11 more days!!

I had my psych appt today and my nutrition class is tomorrow. Friday is my appt with the surgeon and Monday I spend all day at the hospital getting poked, pricked and prodded. I am soooooo ready. Hurry 11 days! :thumbup:

Myself and my twin surgery date is december 18th . We are nervous but excited.

Hello all I am on day 5 of my liquid diet 800 cal. This is harder then I thought but I have not strayed from it I so wanted to run in churches and get me a 2 piece but I know that would defeat the purpose of what I want to achieve. I guess I just wanted to vent for a min. Question is anyone eles drinking the Atkins PreMixes Protein Shake.

I don't start my liquids until next week but have stocked up and tried several different kinds....Atkins being one of them. I thought if I have a variety it might help the 2 weeks go smoother? lol Anyway, I like the Atkins, but my favorite is Chike (which I ordered online). Good luck to you! Hang in there, you will be in surgery before you know it :thumbup:

I moved your name, so it isn't next to a date, but I didn't remove it completely. That way, when December's over, we'll still think of you and send positive thoughts your way for a successful banding...whenever that turns out to be.

You are sooooooo sweet. Thanks.

I'm on the Atkins shakes. I hate them but I figure I have 1 week to go so I will tolerate them.

I started early because I KNEW I would have days where I wanted to cheat or go off the plan. So I just started early and I don't feel bad that I just had french fries...just sayin' lol :wub:

Just got home from my pre-op everything went well, quick and easy. Well minus the 1hr plus waiting time, other than that it was all good.

WOO HOO I'm excited! 7am 12/18 I'm official baby! lol

And I already got "banded" today, with one of their lapband wrist bracelets not sure WHY I have it, or more importantly WHY I'm wearing it, thank goodness I'm in long sleeves! HA

But more importantly I met 2 ladies who are having surgery the same day as me Jessica and Amy and directed them here.. So let me welcome them in advance for when they get here! Welcome ladies!
