I have just checked in to my hotel And tomorrow I am getting my Band!! I am pretty darn excited! I am also a little nervous! i really hope I can get to sleep tonight- i am sure i will need my rest! I am having my procedure at the SWLC in Missisauga (i think thats where I am!). and my surgion is Dr.Cobourn -- i know i am in good hands!! Has anyone has their band at the SWLC-- and what is the average time you were kept after your procesure? I have to be there for 745am -- :-)

I put mine jn one lf those Water cups that have a lid with a straw-- this way you can avoid the smell- You can pick them up for a couple bucks at the dollar store!

timeforme- they are AMAZING-- they made mw feel so comfortable and I didnt even get nervous becauae they were so great ! im sure you will have the same experience!! :-). how goes the preop diet?

Back at the hotel- offically a bandster! (yeah). I am a little sore- but the pain meda are doing what they are supposed to! I am now off to take a little walk down the halls! Thanks for sending me good thoughts!! :-)

Same to both of you! Here is to speedy recovery ! Good luck ladies!!

I am getting excited and nervous!! talk about butterflies! I have two days until my surgery (October 5th) Have had a few moment of-- what am I doing-- but I am looking forward to being on the other side!! Finding it harder and harder keeping this a secret-- I have a good support team of my close friends and family - but have chosen to keep it to myself at work (too many busy bodies people there!!) )

The pre-op diet has been challenging- but it is half way over- my Dr. prescribed Slim Time shakes and up to 250 cal of low GI vegetables. I don't mind the Slim Time-- i make sure to make them in the blender (leas lumpy) and pour over ice so they are good and cold-- I find the worst is my 'head hunger'. wanting to eat chocolate or other unhealthy stuff-- and i have been able to resist by asking myself 'Why am I wanting to eat right now?'. and I can usually pin it on being tired or bored- and if that doesnt work- i drink water or tea! 5 days!!!

October 5th is my banding date!! looking forward to it- a little nervous! Cant believe its only 5 days away!!!

My surgery date is October 5th-- just less than a week of this Pre-op diet- - I was feeling pretty good up until yesterday, I ended up with an awful headache- I figure it was because I didn't drink enough water- feeling better today-- I don't think I have lost much weight on the diet-- but my surgeon wanted it to focus on shrinking my liver-- hopefully that is happening!! I don't mind my Protein shakes-- however I am getting sick of all the sweetness!!! Hope you are all doing well!! (Im getting excited!!)
