I do! I do! It is my 3rd one (date) and believing it is the charm! Only 5 weeks to go, let us 'walk' it together! I will be having it done in San Francisco, couple of hours from where I live.

So, is anyone 'nesting' like me, preparing, and what other ways, like shopping (bought my slippers & shakes)? So excited, we will be set for the new year, finishing up 2008 with a great tool...to be & feel fine in 2009!

December 10 will be my 1 year Bandiversary. Good luck to all of you being banded on that date!!

Happy Early Anniversary Fanny!

So glad you posted in here...a true forerunner for us...looks like you are doing well! So...what was it like, amidst the holidays and winter season? I believe this is a really good time to get banded...but knowing we are brave to do this through the holidays. What a way to Celebrate NYrs' Eve and going into 2009!

I have a December 10th date as well. Thank you roseyyyd1 for helping me find this thread. I am so excited and a little scared for the surgery! It's nice to know people that are going through the same thing at the same time. Let's support eachother!!!!

Yeah Mjenkins, you found us! Can you imagine how our lives are about to totally change in just 5 weeks?! Yes, let us support one another, as a major help in this journey is just that! Where are you located (state), I am in Northern California. Also, don't forget to vote in the poll for the December Bandster name! Roseyyyd1:rolleyes:

I just ate some cheese while making dinner for my family. I am so dissapointed in myself!!!! I have been doing so well. Should I skip my last shake for the day? I don't want to end up gaining when I go in for my weekly visit to pick up my shakes. What do you think?

Hi Goose! Cool, we are increasing in numbers...hopefully more brave souls out there! I have heard of the one incision procedure, sure would be only that scar (+ the port?).

It will be great to compare notes with everyone too!

Have a healthy day of good choices! :thumbup:

I'm one day off (Deceber 9th), but what's one day amongst friends? I don't see any posts from fellow 9ths, so if you all don't mind I think I'll kick in with you. We will be in the hospital at the same time. I'll be in St Louis Park, Minnesota

MommyJD,

Welcome aboard! Since you are so close, I for one would love to have you sailing the skinny ship with us. :eek:

[mjenkins0344 0]

Welcome MommyJD!!!! What time does everyone have their procedures? Mine is at 12:45 in the afternoon. I am hoping I will be able to go home on the same day. Have you guys told friends and family? My family knows but my husbands family does not. I have only told two of my closest friends.
