Hi everyone, November 15th for me as well. I start my no fat, low carb, 700 calorie diet on the 1st. My doctors office sells the med fast, shakes etc.. I will eat a small bit 7 times a day. It's going to be tough, but I can do it. I have researched lap-band and gastric bypass for 10 years now. It's about time I did it. I am excited, nervous, scared to death, happy, oh, did I mention excited?? My doctor also has educated me very well on this, so I can do it. I hate throwing up, so no bad things for me. haha. Glad to be part of the November 15 banders.:thumbup:
