I am 41(F) getting banded on 1/18/10. I have to be on a liquid diet for 4 weeks prior to surgery and it starts tomorrow. I know I can do it but I also know it's going to be hard. I have wonderful support from my husband, family and friends. I am excited to start this journey but also nervous.:thumbup:

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I would be happy to give you some support if you would like to add me as a friend. Although I am not an extended resident here. I did have my surgery on 10/23/09 and I do have some pointers that could help you along the way. Maybe we could even help each other. Who knows. :ohmy:

Add me too if you'd like. I go January 13, so it's coming up soon. I'd love to have some support in place. It'd be nice to have several different dates so we know what's coming up and how to deal with it.

Mizkelly,

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I was banded 3/18/09 and am loving it! I know you will too! The preop diet is sucky but it will be over before you know it! Just think of the weight you will lose on your preop diet to get your jumpstarted on your new journey!! I look forward to hearing about your new journey.
