realcel 16 Posted April 4, 2013 I am being banded April 17. Was supposed to have been banded March 6, but my platelets were too low. Many blood tests and other tests later, they just decided I have low platelets normally. Anyway, I am hoping nothing postpones my surgery again! I was within a week of having it last time!

Decemberbee45 3 Posted April 5, 2013 My surgery is April 19th. I started the liver diet this morning....so excited and nervous!! Hope the time flys....seems like it gets slower the closer it gets to the 19th!!! That happened to me...time was flying by and then seemed to virtually halt, but it is picking back up again. My surgery is the 10th. Maybe it is when you get within a week of your procedure that time gets going again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuggysMama 0 Posted April 6, 2013 My surgery has been changed til April 15th because my surgery has something come up and can't do it on my original date of the 8th. I understand - but it's so hard waiting another week when I had everything set up - hotel, meals for the family all prepared, hubby's time off from work. Uugh - so difficult to wait. Just thankful that his pre-op diet is just 2 days of liquid and pretty much what I've been eating otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
