I'm so excited to have my surgery scheduled for Sept. 19. My case is a little unusual b/c I live in Turkey and am having my procedure done in Turkey, and all my paperwork is in Turkish and my poor dear husband has to translate it all for me! I have my last consultation on the 11th, where I assume (?) I'll be put on a liquid diet for the week leading up. I've heard different things from different people, so perhaps in Turkey the process is a little different as well. Anyway, I'll be needing the extra support b/c we don't have any in-person support groups I can attend. My husband is great, but I really don't want to lean on my in-laws, who can't understand what it's like to make a choice to do this. Cheerio! KT

Hi Everyone, I am new and just so so happy to finally have my lap-band surgery scheduled for 26th of Sept. I'm nervous too, but have been waiting years to make this happen and am finally able to do it! I live abroad and there are no support groups I can join in person to help me keep positive and focused. Well, there may be but I don't speak the language so I wouldn't be able to participate anyway! Anyway, I'll be browsing around and reading up on different people's experiences. Just wanted to say hello! KT
