Newbie here-Getting banded on August 12th

Gautinggirl · July 31, 2008

Hello to all you fellow August All-Star banders out there!

I'm new to this forum and so excited that I found you. I'll be banded on August 12th in Austin, Texas Through True Results. Dr. John Marsden will be doing the proceedure. I'm on my third day of my Per-Op diet and I neet with my nutritionist today. I'm excited and nervous and most of all I can't wait for the day to arrive.

I live in Germany, south of Munich, with my husband, two son's and my big white fluffy amoyed dog Niko. We're on our third year of a 3 year ex-pat assignment. I'll be getting some of my fills there, so I need to find a Dr. in that area. If anyone knows of a good Dr. please send his name my way.

Our permenant home is in Austin, Texas. I've been enjoying (and sweating) the last 4 weeks here in Austin with my two sons. My Husband is finally flying out to join us today. I can't wait to see him :angry: .

As with most of you I've been overweight my whole life. Just the act of looking at food causes me to gain weight :biggrin: I've tried just about every diet, and although I've been successful at losing the weight it always seems to creep back on. I'm so excited that this will be the LAST time I will be losing these pounds and I know they will stay off.

Now I ony have to figure out how I can stay on my pre-op diet while on vacation in Las Vegas for a week before surgery....not very good planning on my part!
