Today's the day!

I have to be at NYU at 11 a.m.

I'm surprisingly calm, and can't help but wonder if the jitters will set in once I get there. I saw the kids off to school, and have another hour until I leave for the city (even though it should take 30-35 minutes to drive there, the reality is a whole lot more than that, of course!)

My husband is bringing me there, and will stay until he needs to head back to be there when the kids get home. His cousin is on stand-by, and my friends and neighbors are aware and will check in on me when he goes back to work on Wednesday.

I can't believe that soon I'll be posting in the post-op section of this forum!

Everything will be fine. Lets us know how things do with you and your surgery. I get banded next week (April 15th), so I will be joining you soon in the post-op section. Will look for you there and see how are you are doing. Good luck!!!!

Hi Cheryl Ann! Post and let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it. Good luck to you today!

LOL. I'm 30 minutes on the *other* side of NYU (in NJ), and start my 2w pre-op diet today.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Good Luck Cheryl Ann and LOVE your Avatar!

How are you liking Torchwood?

Good luck today! Let us know how you are doing when you can!

Yes, TheGh0st -- I'm a big Doctor Who fan, as are my husband and children. I've been watching Torchwood since it came on in the UK (I get all my Torchwood and Doctor Who episodes directly from the UK, within a day or so of broadcast).

John Barrowman is the most spectacularly gorgeous man alive (or dead)!

Jo Skinnie, I'm feeling great today (fourth day after banding). I just took a walk, did some laundry, and am now enjoying a glass of V8 juice.

I have a question: I notice that with V8 and some other thicker liquids, I can actually feel it going down my esophagus, and sometimes have a "full" sensation in the center of my chest. Is this normal for this stage? Any input would be much appreciated.
