I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I'm currently in the process to have the lap-band surgery. I've already met with the surgeon once, did a sleep study, and met with a psychiatrist. I've got another sleep study coming up in a couple of weeks, as well as a meeting with a nutritionist. I'm hoping to be banded around Thanksgiving of this year.

Hi. I am Angela from Urbana, Ohio. I am having the band surgery on Aug. 17. I am currently in the pre-op liquid diet. (which is killing me) I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you.

Welcome,

Congrats on your decisions to be banded. You will be so pleased with your band. I wouldn't take anything for mine. Thank God I didn't have to do any preop diet.

Hugs,

Sherri Jo

Hi Angela....a week away from your surgery, congratulations! Are you getting nervous, or can't wait to get it over with?

Hi!

I am Melissa from NJ. I am going to be banded on Aug 21 and I am also on the liquid diet! I am dieting too! You can email me at vscozzarro@trailconlogistics.com if you'd like. I would love to make some friends who have or will soon have the band.

Thanks!

Hi Melissa, congratulations to you also. I wish my surgery was coming up that soon.....I'm a little impatient...haha.

[angeleyes32 0]

I am not nervous at all! It is time I do something! Melissa, how is the liquid thing going? I am struggling. I was told four slim fasts per day and all diet drinks/water. Then I spoke with my surgeon and he said I could have some Soup. Let me tell you, after four days of nothing but a few slim fasts, that soup was the best meal! I too am looking for some new friends, who especially know what I am going through!
