I'm being banded on the 29th of April. Excited

I usually don't give any credence to horoscopes in the paper but mine last week in the Austin Chronicle was interesting, it said:

"Your rescue is scheduled for no later than your birthday, possibly before. In the meantime, the best thing you can do to prepare for your release is to feel gratitude for all you've learned during your ordeal."

The next day I got a call from the surgeon's scheduler. The first available date they had for my lapband procedure was April 7th, my birthday. I said "I'll take it." I'm regarding it as a new beginning.

Good luck to everyone on their surgeries!

April 1st for me.. on mainly liquid with a light high Protein, low carb/fat meal once a day for the first pre-op diet week, second week 6 days of liquid Meal Replacement and one day before Clear Liquids only. I'm excited, nervous and hungry all at once. Have lost 7 lbs altogether so far.
