New sugery date 4/12011

[sexyat44 1]

Hi, I am so excited about being banded. My surgery date is 4/1/2011. I bought all my Vitamins and liquids foods for the first week. My boyfriend does not support this, but this is for me. I don't think my mother fully supports me as well, but this is my life. I have chronic back pain, and GERD that I have to deal with on a daily basis. None of them feels the pain like I do. Will keep you posted on my journey.

Pre-op wasn't so bad.....I had an EKG and the levels of Vitamins in my body was checked. It was easy....I had to stop taking Advil one week prior to surgery and that was it.
