NewMeFrisco 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Hello, I'm new to this, trying to figure this out. I'm getting banded on 12/6 and I'm so scared of being able to comply... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twilight 2 Posted December 3, 2007 Welcome NewMe! I am also being banded on the 6th. I'm getting a little more anxious every day. It is getting to be so distracting I'm having a hard time focussing on my job. This place is great. You can read about anything you are worried about and ask questions about it all. Don't get discouraged. We are all in this together. Twi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsjiggles 4 Posted December 3, 2007 Hello People! Just got a date today whoooo!!!! I'm excited..as if you couldn't tell. :whoo: Looks like the 20th for now. I'm really suprised because I thought I was looking at January at least. Now, if I can just loose the last 11lbs. before my date I'll be in good shape. I'm sure all the pre-op stuff will be fine. Dr. Avara in Mississippi if anyone is curious. I've got the merry part down...now I'm working on the looser part. CONGRATS to everyone! Wishing you all loads of luck!

NewMeFrisco 0 Posted December 3, 2007 I can't focus on my job either, I wan't to get this surgery over with. I'ts a little difficult for me to plan our Christmas dinner....I'll be on liquids, but it's not fair for everyone else if I don't... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livingthe Dream 0 Posted December 3, 2007 I am proud of all the December bandsters that we have in this group. I was a self pay and my Doctor let me pick what month I wanted to have the surgery and the earliest was Dec. I chose December because December type meals are what got me in this situation. There is no reason to wait till a New Year resolution lets attack this now and get on with our new life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
100lbsforsale 0 Posted December 3, 2007 hey everyone, I haven't been on the site much lately, I've been pretty sick. I've had my surgery postponed/cancelled for awhile. :faint: I've got a bad case pertussis(whooping cough), and the docs tell me 2 to 4 months before my lungs are healthy enough for surgery. It's been fun reading all of your posts and finding out I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. It really sucks that I went all this way on this journey and it's basically jerked out from underneath me. Well, everything happens for a reason. Take care and Merry Christmas! Maybe I'll be back on the list in a future month in '08. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

100lbsforsale 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Cerrin, Thanks, I'm hoping so too. I am so drugged up on antibiotics, steroids and living with my inhaler, I think I'd have to die to feel better, (just kidding). Take care, happy banding!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherA 1 Posted December 3, 2007 I just got my date today! I'm scheduled for December 18th! I was hoping it would be next week just so I'd be back in fighting form for my big holiday party on the 24th but I think a week might be enough time. Regardless it's really nice to finally have an "official" date! Whoo hoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just_A_Girl 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Hey everyone ... I just got my date ... finally. It is December 18!!! I was hoping for the 21 so I wouldn't have to take off of work (School's break starts on the 21) ... but it looks like I will have to take off a few days. I am sure it will all be worth it. ADD ME TO THE LIST!!! I see I am not alone on this date! Thank goodness because I need someone to walk with through this journey. Alisha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhlapband 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Hey from Texas, y'all! My date is on Dec. 20. Hopefully perfect timing. I'll have to take 2 days off work, then the weekend, then Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Then back to work on that Wednesday. I hope this is a realistic goal! Glad to be a part of this board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
