Well I now have my date to get my Lap Band surgery done, 6th Januanry 2010. I had booked my appointment with the surgeon on the 11th December but got a call this afternoon and they had someone cancel, so I got in early and got to book my date.:wink2: I know this is a good thing but I have so many emotions going right now. I am very excited and hoping everything goes well. Is there any bansters in Canberra and do you know a support group that I can go to as I do not know anyone who has had this done and that I can Keep in touch with. Hope to hear from you soon.

Well its hard to think that my surgery day is almost here. I have the surgery on the 6th Janurary 2010 and get admitted into the hospital at 11:00am. I am now starting to get worried and a bit scared. Pre Opt was not easy but I stayed with it and so far it has paid off, 24 pounds lost. Its also been a very hard time as my Nana has passed away on the 31st December 2009. Its hard because I live in Australia and she is in Florida, so not an easy time. I almost canceled my operation to go back but my dad said she would want me to have the operation done as I have been waiting a long time. So here I am the big day is on Wednesday. Wish me luck.

I am getting my band at the start of next year and I am already starting to second guess myself. I have always felt hungry and never had the feeling of fullness and I don't know how to live life other then constant hunger. Did anyone else have these feelings and worry about how hard life will be after the band?

My name is Melissa and I am getting my band on the 6th Jan 2010, not to long to go. I am also on a 3 week pre opt diet just at the time of Christmas, not going to be easy. Before I start the pre op diet I am going to have a farewell party to say goodbye to the old me and then the new me begins. What does everyone else think? Anyone do the same thing?

My name is Melissa, and I am hoping to get my band in Jan 2010, not to far away find out the date in December. Wanted to meet with people in Canberra who has had lap band and maybe keep in touch. If you want to write me my email is melpumpkin.sharrock@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon.
