Going for my Band on the 15th of March. So busy reading everything on this board I am hardly sleeping. So much info to take in. I'm very excited about the band but also worried. so much to learn, I guess it is mostly trial and error for a long time, as far as I can gather ????

Well so much for that. There it is. Go figure??? My husband just spent an hour and half tring to figure it out for me. and there it is LOL

Sara yes great site. I can not figure out how to post my info such as a ticker on my site. I need someone to walk me though it. I am not very computer user friendly. I know what I need to know to get Most of my job done ,but anything past that and I'm lost. any help?

So happy to have found this Site and Know that I am Not Alone. Iam Happily Married 29 years this MAy/I am 46 years old and 300lbs and have a goal of 180 /also 5'7 1/2" I have 2 daughters both married so we are empty nesters. they are all behind my decision. wish me luck

I'm going to be a bandster yeahhhhh!!! My date is March 15th 07 any tips for doing the pre op diet ???/ So very excited, but also scared....of not going to be able to have the will power to get on the program wish me luck

First time posting. Have first app't on Monday. Very nervous. Biggest fear though is The thought that I will be turned down. Wish me Luck.

Wow what a day/made it to TO and back with out getting lost.:clap2: / had my visit with Nasrine /very nice/ very comfortable/ Spoke to 5 people in the waiting room before appt/ very interesting to talk to people face to face that had the operation. one with complications???? Her band broke???:confused: :faint: :faint: I was very surprised that my surgery can be done so soon.March 15th 2007 is MY BAND DAY!!!!!!:omg: Today is the 20th of February. Post op diet of just cottage chees & yougart should be interesting to say the least:confused: I have to talk to Arlene when they get back from holidays about time off??? They said I should be able to return to work on the Monday after my surgery:confused: I hope that is the case. I am still going over in my head weather I tell everyone that I am doing this. I think I will as I could use all the support I can get. I did tell Julie At work today ,,why I'm not sure. i think i just wanted to tell someone other than my family to see what she had to say. not much/just about the complications / well I think that is with any surgery/especially when you weight 300.:omg: I want to talk to Jan about it but I don't feel this is a good week /with the Wedding On Friday. I will wait until next week.I need to go have a chest xray tomorrow and ecg and blood work. hoping I can get it all done at Pine St.This is the only thing on my mind........I guess that understandable . I really do feel I am doing the right thing / I have tried so many ways/ I feel this will be the best tool to help me. I was very glad to get The complete nod from Bordman. He knows how much I have tried to battle this demon/when I get some weight off I definatly want to change these drugs that I'm on.Hopefully he will be in agreement. Oh the Higher powers :heh: I fell great about changing this in My life :kiss2: You Go Girl:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
