Being Banded on 5-21 anyone else with me??

[Stay_Tuned 0]

So yesterday I went to my appt with the surgeon's office and it is official... I am scheduled for surgery on May 21st. :tt1: I am super psyched and not at all nervous. I can not wait! I wish it was tomorrow! The process went very smooth and quick! One month from seminar to surgery.....

:thumbup:BRING IT ON!!! :tt1:

I have my pre-op day of testing scheduled for the 12th. I also need to meet with the Psych. again as it is their policy to meet with her one more time before surgery... Personally I see it as a way to get more money out of me....... but alas I must do what I am told to do to get to my ultimate goal.... So it will be a period of my life I wont be able to get back...... LOL! But it is just a step in the process.......

The office did not give me a specific diet except to start cutting down portions and working on chewing food well and all the things that I will need to be doing after surgery...... I have on my own started a Protein liquid diet to prepare anyways so all is good....They said I could continue that if I wanted.... The only thing mentioned was that they did not want a weight gain prior to surgery..... to start an exercise program. Two checks in the block completed... I work out 3-5 times a week for an hour allready and have been for over a year.... and I am down 13 lbs. since the seminar....so no weight gain to worry about....

:biggrin:Sooooo anyone out there joining me on the 21st??????

I know you guys are excited! I am being banded on May 12th. Y'all should post your dates under "Support Groups", May 2008, we have a running list of everyone getting banded in the month of may. It is really neat hearing from all the may bandsters and some are already posting their surgery experience!
