Congratulations for making this choice. I too am like you, I have just made the choice, and actually go to the surgeon on August 19....looking forward to this first step....waiting on insurance approval, going to a nutritionist this week the psych and surgeon the following week...excited yet apprehensive!

Welcome Diane! You and I are getting banded the same day. Getting nervous? I'm starting too but excited as well! Good luck!

I just thought of something funny. You know how they tell us that we MUST shrink our liver or they won't do the band? I did everything I was supposed to and I lost 15 pounds so I really had nothing to worry about but I was still worried.

The recovery room nurse woke me and said they are all done. I said you mean I have my band? She said yes maam and you did great. 5 minutes later I looked at her and said I know I've already asked you this but you did say my band is in their right? LOL She smiled and said she thought it was time for my family to come in b/c I was definitely waking up good. LOL

Hey, Jen! Yes, I am getting nervous and questioning my decision but I am determined to do this and change my life. What time is your surgery? Mine is at 9am. Would love to keep in touch to see how you are doing.

That is really cute. It made me smile big and remind me of a time that I had my wisdom teeth pulled and all I could do was smile with the gauze hanging out. How are you feeling today?

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, I have my LB August 11, 2010 in Lewisville, TX.

I am nervous, excited, and happy rolled into one!

Diane, mine's at 7 am. I wanted it over as early in the morning as they would do it! I wanted NO chance of having to stay in the hospital if I didn't have to!

I feel great now! My three kids are back home and I'm getting back into a normal routine. I start Protein Shakes today which I'm actually looking forward to. I'm a little hungry.

Congrats to all who have had their surgery and doing well.

Special Hello to Amanda (spoiltmom) , I am so glad you are home and doing well. I know it wasn't easy but you did it.

I wish you all the best that are having surgery within the next couple of days.

I'm going in for my pre-op today. I hope it's uneventful and my PCP clears me for my surgery on the 16th. I so want to be on the other side and starting to work my band.

tally - was that your choice???

thank god i don't have to do anything you guys have to except a high Protein low fat diet this week.

i've lost 10lbs but not because i had to but because i was on vacation and walking a lot in the Florida heat.
