And I am also a teacher---ESE, K-5! I love the date because I have a few days after school ends on the 4th to rest, and nearly 2 weeks before summer school starts to get used to the band and get back into things. I am soooo looking forward to this. Since November, I have only lost 14 pounds and it has been hard going! I'm hoping that the band gets me jump-started to lose at a normal rate, especially since I have so much to lose!

I am also being banded on June 10th, and I am also a teacher! I work with young kiddos with Autism. I love it and I will love it more when I can gracefully hop up off the floor in my classroom without any issues. Go June bandsters!!!

Anyone getting nervous? I am nervous and excited. Ready for it to be over with. I was supposed to have my last preop appt. today but it had to be rescheduled to tomorrow (yep a Saturday!) I was surprised at that. I am scared I haven't lost enough on my preop diet. I have lost about 6 or 7 pounds. Hopefully that is enough. My BMI is 43 so I just pray that my liver is not too large! But overall since November I have lost about 25 lbs.

Nannypants, I had to laugh at your "gracefully hop off the floor"..... If I ever got on the floor, it would be because I fell and I would need help to get up. Graceful would never be part of the picture for me! Good luck everyone! Tuesday is just around the corner and I cannot wait!

June must be the month for teachers! I received my approval in March and decided to wait until summer vacation. My surgery date is this Tuesday, 6/24. I'm so excited (and nervous) to start my new life! It wll be such a blessing not to be exhausted and wanting to take a nap when I get home from school when I lose weight.

P.S. Nannypants, I haven't sat on the floor in years! I think I'd need the

fire department to give me a boost..(the kids would love that I'm sure):biggrin2:

Congratulations Justjan! But I have to tell you, I have many "skinny" teacher friends who are totally exhausted at the end of the day! I think it is a far more strenuous occupation than most people believe---those little darlings keep us busy, don't they? Summer school just started for me today, and with the air conditioning out, I was grateful to have just gotten a short hair cut and to have the lost the weight I have so far---even so, it was miserably hot! Hahaha!
