February 2014 bandsters?

[SweetGeorgiaT 23]

Well I haven't had the chance to be on in what seems like forever... but I thought I would catch you all up! After a long two week search I finally found a cab to take me the four hours to the hospital where my surgery is! And I got re-connected with my older sister after eight years of not speaking! She is very encouraging of me and the lap band! Shes even going to bring me home from the hospital so I dont have to wait for another cab! Excitement all around!!

That's wonderful news! I'm so happy for you!

My lapband is scheduled for Feb 14th....how romantical?! I can't wait. I am ready. Start a 10 day pre-op diet on the 4th of Feb.

We have the same day. What a great gift to us! :-)

Yes it's an awesome gift I think!

Thank you! I hope I do too because I have only told one person about my surgery, so I don't have much support.

Well, I'm over 1/3 the way on the pre op diet! It did get easier after the first few days...but 3 weeks of Opti fast is a long time! The scales moved fast at first and now, not so fast. Surgery is February 6. Excited, worried I won't be successful over he long haul, and ready for this new journey, all at the same time! My surgery is in Tampa.

You'll do fine. During my hiatus from ANY forum was to get my head right on what I had to do to be successful. It's all mental I've come to realize the lap band (for me) is a "halt" tool. Stop eating so dang much! Lol. I can't wait until my date! Congrats again. You'll be successful.

I'm so ready and nervous both !!! Love reading everyone's posts..

They have helped me a lot ...Thanx !!!

8 days away from scheduled surgery date and still dont know if my doc will sign off on me to get the surgery or not. Find out on the 30th after blood work to see if " im just a person with a normal high white blood count" nothing like white knuckling it to the last moments!

[tdeizme 9]

February 20th,,,, !

Slinkie did you have pre op bloodwork this far in advance ? I've had nothing and won't have any lab work done until the morning before the surgery.
