Anyone getting banded on 3/8/11

[parker62 8]

I will be banded on March 8th also. I feel pretty good. Yesterday i saw the Anesthesiologist and got my medical clearance. I started on my pre-op diet on 2\22 Optifast but i had to take another supplement with less carbs, Each carton contains 20gms of carbs and i will have to drink 5 for the day = 100gms of carbs. I have pcos and will nevwr lose weight on 100gms of carbs daily. I had to make my own adjusments. 40gms of carbs if i am ever going to lose any weight pre op. I am down 9 lbs so far. Its very hard , im struggling. Best wishes to all and all the best on the 8th.

I will be banded on March 9th looking forward to the day after when its all done and over with so I can sop worrying so much :/

Looking for anyone who is getting banded the same day as me. There's something oddly comforting knowing that others will be having the procedure on the same day.

Glad to see so many people will having the procedure on the 8th, or very close to it at least. I'll be thinking of all of you. It is comforting knowing that I'm not alone. This forum has been great. I have a great support team in my life, but really everyone here on this forum are truly the only ones that can understand what we're going through. Thanks everyone for "being there"!!

I, too, am being banded on March 8!!

This is my first post, so I guess I will introduce myself. My name is Rachel, I am 21 years old and I am being banded in Harrisonburg, VA. I haven't met anyone else who is getting it done there on here, but that's ok! We can still be each other's support from different places!

I started my liquid diet on Tuesday and so far it hasn't been so bad. There are days when I definitely miss chewing (the Multi-Vitamin just doesn't really cut it ) and just wish I could have some food, but I know this is for the best and I can't wait for my surgery!!

I'm not really sure what else to say, if you all have any questions or anything, just let me know, I guess. I would love to get to know some of you and hear about your journeys. I love that we are all in this together!

Have a wonderful weekend.
