Ok, I got my FINAL date! I'm going to be banded May 20th! A good solid even numer! :smile:

I'm not that scared about actually getting the surgery anymore, now I'm scared that its not going to work. That I just won't lose weight! Arughh, do others feel this way too? They are scared the band won't work for them? That they enjoy eating too much? Am I alone?

May 20th is a great date - my anniversary! =) Anyway, I think first of all you need to lose your fear. Don't let it be the driving force behind this journey.

Personally, I'm not fearful that the band won't work - IT'S GOING TO WORK. I don't believe anything other than that. It has to work in order for me to live a long, healthy life.

Keep telling yourself that "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better". Don't let your mind run away with the fear. KNOW that you will succeed with the band and you will!

[jaria007 2]

hi all! Can I join too? My date is scheduled for May 19th, 1 week after my 25th bday! Great bday present to myself! I just hope all my tests come back A OK. I am quite nervous because I had a pulmonary embolism in November and all my blood work and blood flow tests have to be pristine for my doc to give clearance!

I am officially banded!! Got home from hospital today at 1pm. Everything went very smoothly. Bad reaction to morphine, but otherwise ok!! I have had other abdominal surgeries and this one was the easiest by far!!!

Thanks for all of your well-wishes!! I felt the "love" in the hospital!!

Originally my doc had me on 1 slimfast per day (after Clear Liquids for 2 days) for 2 weeks. When he saw me today, he told me to move my appt. up 1 whole week!! He made my day!!

I plan to spend the weekend pampering myself...walking, sipping, breathing and sleeping!!

All the best to all of you "bandsters to be"...it's a snap!!!!

So nice to hear from you bandfan! I am so glad it went well for you.

Laura - Thanks for coming over and inspiring us! I am looking forward to my band date although I am one of the latest. At least I will have some "older" band siblings to inform me of the ups and downs.

Hope everyone is hanging in there on their pre op diets and nerves. You can do all things! NOT some things, but All things.

I am May 8th. No pre-op diet for me. To be honest, I've been on the Last Supper Tour a lil too much ;(

I'm trying though, starting all Slim Fast and fruit tomorrow morning to try to slim down a lil before the big day.
