6 days till banded

[AussieTrace 0]

I am getting very excited with only 6 days to go:w00t: So happy i am part of the March banders. I totally can make it through these next 6 days on the shake diet because i can see the end in site. Or is it the beginning woo hoo :confused: However i am a little nervous about all the things that can go wrong, so i can't wait till it is over. Is there anyone else with not long to go?

Make that 3.5 days for me....I had to have an EGD on Wed. which also included full anaethesia. Did you have to get one, too? It's a procedure where a scope is put down your esophogus all the way into the stomach to check for any internal problems like erosion from acid reflux, etc. So for two days I've been nursing a super sore throat/esophagus. I haven't been hungry and the warm broth and milkshakes have helped with the sore throat. I'm also getting nervous, but the EGD two days ago has helped with the fear factor. I now know what to expect from being put under and then waking up after. So I go on Tues., the 10th at 6 am.

Good Luck to you and all the other March bandsters!

3.5 days for me too. In less then 2 hrs it will be midnight here in Australia... so it will be 3 days!!!! Oh my goodness, i'm excited and nervous all at the same time. All you March banders about to be done hang on tight it's going to be an awesome roller coaster of a ride. So glad i have all of you taking it with me....makes it not so scary.

less then 24 hrs to go!!!! oh my goodness the butterflies are going crazy! can't wait till it's over, praying you all go well and can't wait to here from you. the first one of us out and on here, should start a thread or add to it call "just banded the journey" so we can all see how each of us is going.

I have lost 9lbs (just over 4kgs) on the pre op shake diet, it's encouraging to go in with a little weight loss.

Good luck
