dwrd73 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Wow, only three more days. Since I've been on this pre op diet it seems like time is going so slowly. Hopefully for you the three days will pass by quickly. What do you mean by the "band leader"? Are you part of a group of people being banded on the same day or month? Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly for you during surgery.

real deal 0 Posted August 16, 2008 When i say bnad leader this means there was a meeting with our dietican and there were 6 in the class for pre op and we all scheduled for the same day about an hour apart i think thats cool though we will hav eprivate rooms we will be able to communicate and shar ethe joy and pain and help eachother through the day and hopefully form a bond and freindship.
