January 25 2011!!!!!!!!! Finally after months and months and months of never ending hoops I was finally approved this morning for surgery! Jan 25th will be the day I start my new life toward a healthier me! I go for my preop class blood work and to get my two week diet replacements on wends 12th! I can't wait! I am so nervous and excited all at once! I pray I have the strength and will power that I need to be successful! Is anyone else doing surgery on this date? I would love to have someone to talk to through this...

Congratulations! I don't share your surgery date but I was just banded on December 13th, so I'm just starting this journey too. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Rachel...congrats on finally getting your surgery date and also for taking the steps to get banded and onto a healthier YOU. Don't start this journey doubting success. Tell yourself you can do this. Follow the rules your doc has set up for you. Good luck!

Congratulations and good luck!! I'm waiting for that day myself. I can only imagine how excited you must be feeling

[~*~Rachel~*~ 2]

Thank you really really excited! I work at night as a nurse and stayed up when I should have been sleeping waiting on the phone call so now I am drinking coffee all night here at work to stay awake ugh! what will I do not being able to drink caffeine being a night shift nurse!!

Yay! Me too me too! We share a surgery date. I'm so nervous and excited all at the same time! Mostly nervous about the pre-op diet. Good lord 10 days of liquid only?! I have spreadsheet created to help me remember what I "have" to "eat" and what I can eat/drink at any time. I plan to put a rubber band around my wrist and any time I feel like cheating I'll snap the rubberband. OUCH! But it helps me break from the almost obsessive need to eat. January 25. Here we come!

Me too! January 25th. I'm terrified. A little for the surgery but mostly that I will not be successful after taking such extreme measures. It would be great to keep in touch with other Jan 25th bandsters. I start my pre-op diet January 12th.

Congratulations! My date is set for Feb 3rd and I start the liquid diet on Jan 20. Good luck to all. I've been looking into it for about 5 - 6 years. I think I'm finally coming to grips with thinking I'm a failure because I haven't been able to keep it off on my own. I just need to get on with it. - Julia

Your not a failure until you give up!!! Your not giving up your just getting a little help hang in there!
