Getting banded on 1.17.11, anyone else?

[BandedTchr 0]

Hi, my name is Christine. I live in LA, California and am awaiting my surgery date! I am being banded on 1.17.11. I am a teacher and am going to take 5 working days off. The 17th is a holiday, so I will not go back to work until the following Tuesday (1.25.11). Does that sound right? Is anyone else getting banded on the 17th?

Also, how do I add the ticker thing?

Hi, I'm in Orange County, CA. I'm getting banded on the 12th and going back to work after the holiday on the 18th. I'm in education also.

Are you excited? Where are you having the procedure done? I'm going to have it at Marina del Rey Hosp. The doctor usually has the patients stay home for 2 weeks but I feel like that is so long to be away from school. I just learned about this website - I've been looking for people who have been banded. The only people I know who have bariatric surgery have had gastric bypass. I'm also on youtube (bandaid612).

yes, I am excited. I know I will be nervous in the next few days. I saw your video. So cool! I am doing a 10 day liquid diet. Are you doing the same? Meal Replacement shakes and Soup. Yuck! Read the binder, bookmarked some wls recipe sites and made my list of things to take to the hospital. I have to stay over 1 night at UCI so I need to pack a bag. Nice to chat with you. Let's keep in touch as our procedures are just a couple days apart.
