Awaiting surgery.  Had a setback due to an abnormal EKG 2 days prior to surgery(during the pre op app.)...Took 2 months to get clearance due to cardiologists appointments but now the date is set for the 24th of August.  I've got a week left to go on my pre op diet and it sucks!!  But I've only cheated a couple of times and those were minor so I'm feeling good about the whole deal so far. Plus I've already lost 10 lbs and that's never a bad thing:)  See you on the skinny side of life;PUPDATE-It's almost 4 months after surgery and i'm down 41 pouds and have just got if not the last then the next to last fill I'll need.  I'm so tight right now one day after a fill that I can't really get water down easy, but that's always the case for a few days...  I have 6 cc in a 10 cc band.  Well so far so good, I've been having fun with hardly any restriction for the last couple of months, and have been taking advantage and eating bad:(  Only 8 pounds lost in those two months so that's not good.  No issues besides GAS, which thankfully has almost completly gone away as the band gets tighter and air cant get into the lower stomach as easily.  I've nearly perfected eating and drinking without swallowing air which I never thought I'd be able to do.  I'm having trouble getting around to excersizing eg, I'm not excersizing...but I'm making that my new years resolution so we'll see how that goes:UPDATE-(4/10/10)Well the loosing's going slowly because I had to have an unfill after the one I was talking about in the last update.  I've just now got back up to the restriction I need to loose and have lost 9 pounds in three weeks.  Total loss of 50 pounds!  It feels like it's going too slow, but I guess 50 lbs in 8 months isn't all that bad.  Hopefully the pace will stay the same from here on out! Next (and hopefully last for a while) fill on the 19th.
