I'm also scheduled for May 6th. It's coming so soon! I'm excited and nervous all at once!

Hi, I'm May also. My date is May 6th, assuming nothing comes up. I already have insurance approval and I have to go to the hospital on April 12th for pre admission testing. If everything is OK then May 6th is the day!!! I am scared, they better sedate me when I enter the building or they will have a crying, babbling baby on their hands !!!!

So I wanted to tell someone this on the boards but I don't want everyone to hate me! I do not have to do a pre-op diet!!! I was so shocked! I even asked multiple people and checked and rechecked all my paperwork! Crazy!

Hi Everyone:

I had my pre-op testing on yesterday. If everything is ok, I am scheduled for surgery on May 4th. I've already started the 2 week pre-op diet.

Best wishes and much succes for all of you May Bandsters.

Is anyone else having all of their pre-op testing done the day before their surgery? My doctor makes you check into the hospital the day before placing the lap-band so you can have all of the pre-op tests done then. It's kind of nice to have it all done at once, but I hate being in the hospital. My doctor will also make me stay in the hospital for at least a day after the surgery to place the lap-band. He said he'd like me to stay five days after, but it's my choice. I guess they do it a little differently in Germany

I bet it is! good luck to you too! I thought about doing some type of plan anyway just to get my into the grove. I think working on getting all that protein in now is a great idea so you already have a handle on what you are doing!
