Thank you Bandista! (I think you have a pretty neat name too! ) Have been doing relaxation techniques and of course by all means praying. November 5th will be here before you know it! It seemed as if October would never get here, but now that it is, well, all I can say is, "Wow!" I'm feeling just a bit nervous, happy, and a sense of ready to move on to the next part of the lapband process. Thank you for your encouragement, and I will be here to also encourage you as your lapband date gets closer.

The elliptical is a good machine, but think twice if you have knee problems. It seemed to revisit my problems more than often when I had my gym membership. About 3 years ago, I had to choose the NordicTrack T8.0 treadmill and sometimes my poor knees still hurt like mad! The treadmill has offered me more control I must say. I use it 6 times a week, 45 to 60 minutes, with the Ipad connected. So far, no mechanical issues with it. Good Luck with your decision.

Wishing you the very best experience! My journey day is 10/2.

Ok, Thank you CaGottaBand! I never thought about that. I just so happen to have a new pack of 3 that my daughter gave me earlier this year. Thanks again!

I first learned and researched the lapband procedure back in 2011. I was scheduled to attend the initial seminar and all, but chickened out. I have tried almost every diet under the sun, but I seem to regain any progress that I had made. So after going to the seminar about 3 or 4 months ago, I am scheduled for surgery in 2 days. So yeah, greytz is so right! It depends on so many factors. Though my family is luke warm about me having the surgery, I have made up my mind. Im so tired of being heavy!

Thank you for your reply. I have just added my robe to my small bag. Thank your for the advice!

Hi! I am new to lapband talk also, in 4 days (10/4), I will have my surgery. I'm currently just on the Sugar Buster diet and will go to an all liquid diet the day before the surgery. I have lost 20lbs on that diet. I am nervous of course but I'm looking forward to having it done.
