I am having the surgery on the 9th. I start my pre-op diet on the 6th. Now I am really nervous. I am thinking the pre-op will be the worst. Hang tough. When you get hungry, go for a walk. At least you are doing something away from the kitchen:)

Well I am now 9 days out from surgery. I am a tad nervous, but on the other side very excited. 3-9-09 is the big day. I recently found this site and am very glad to have a resource to look to for answers and support. I am married and my husband is being very supportive, but for people who don't have a weight problem, it is really hard to understand what I am going through. I am hoping that a year from now, I will feel so much better physically and mentally. That will be a HUGE relief. I am hoping by blogging about this, it will help me mentally prepare myself for the upcoming year. Any advise anyone has I would really love to hear from you. I am a firm believer that all is possible with a good support system. Have a great day,:cursing:

Great to hear all this. I am having this done on 3-9-09. I am a little nervous and after reading this, I am a little more nervous but glad to hear anything anyone has to say. I can't wait to hear more from you, and following your progress. djzlady96 P.S. I have never birthed children either, so I guess I can't understand that pain.

WOW!!!! That is absolutely wonderful. I am new to this site, but what a blessing finding it. Any advise? I am getting banded 3-9-09. Looking forward to my 1 yr mark. djzlady96

Great job!!!! I am getting this done on 3-9-09. How was it? What should I know to help me with this? I am so glad I found this site. It is great to hear from people experiencing what I am. I look forward to hearing more from you. djzlady96

How soon after surgery did you start to notice the changes? What have you done as far as exercise and diet to help with all this? I am very anxious, and a bit nervous. I KNOW it will be beneficial for me. Thanks

Hi everyone. I am new to this site and am really looking forward to having people to talk to about my upcoming banding. I am scheduled for March 9th. A bit nervous, yet really excited. I don't know anyone who has done this, so I really don't know what to expect. I would really love to hear how your journey's have gone and get some feed back and tips. I would love to find someone in my area that would like to buddy up and help each other. I am married, 13 years, and my husband is being very supportive. He is a thin man and just can't really understand what this means to me. Well looking forward to hearing from you soon. Wendy

You will do great. I am also scheduled to be banded on the 9th. I was so amazed when the insurance company approved me. I am also learning to knit. I live in Colorado, but I would be happy to be there in spirit and talk with you anytime. I know there will be times of frustration, and I too would love to have a good support system. My husband is being really great, but since he has never had a weight problem, I think it is hard for him to understand how I feel. Keep your chin high and let me know if you need to talk. Wendy

Hi butterfly, I to am due to have surgery on March 9th. 10 days away, and I am sort of nervous and yet very excited. I feel the same way you do. It will be nice to do something for me, and something that will make me feel good about myself again. I wish you all the best, and let me know how your journey goes. I live in Aurora, Colorado, but it is always nice to have someone to chat with. Wendy
