So how are you all feeling? I've wanted this for so many years..... But now it's a reality!!! I'm quite nervous about it, I think that is mainly because of the association/addiction I have with food!! Xx

I can't wait for it to be over now, I've prepared myself in my mind although I am a little nervous as I've never had surgery before but I have confidence in the surgeon I've chosen and done everything I can to prepare so I am confident there is nothing I can change at this point.

I am scheduled for Oct 14th. I have been waiting for 8 months now to get banded and now that I am actually scheduled I am a bit nervous. I have been consumed with reading posts, watching videos, and absorbing as much information as I can prior to the surgery. I really want this to be a huge success!

My two-week liver reduction diet starts tomorrow for surgery on Oct. 14th. I was not stressing until today. Ahhhhhh! Be brave everyone!

Good Luck Jenni! I am on the 15th. How is everyones pre-op diet going? I miss meat soooo bad....

The pre-op is going better than I expected but still hard. One minute I feel like I am full enough and can do this and the next minute I think I am going to starve to death and contemplate cheating. Hopefully the ups and downs will slow down the further into this I get! The scale is definitely a motivator when I see the numbers going down.

Surprisingly, I'm actually not too terribly hungry on the pre-op diet. I have, however, had an unbelievable headache for a solid week now. I'd given up my beloved Diet Coke awhile ago, so that surprised me. Spent Sunday in the emergency room getting what they called a "migraine cocktail" drip. I also have a lot more $ and free time now that I'm not spending it in drive-thru's.

Wishing everyone well!

Hi guys!!! First of all good luck to you all as I see that some of you are probably banded already now!! I actually started this journey a couple of years ago and a week before my surgery my ic denied me ( it was a fluke). So here I am at it again and I got approved! Day one of liquid diet. Band date October 23!!!

This bloody pre-op diet is killing me.... I'm on the liquid only and I just want to eat mushrooms.....weird I know but I am craving mushrooms.....lol! Hope everyone is doing well! xx
