Soexcited - I think that's normal - you will be fine...just remember all the reasons why you want to do this!

Anoush - it was good to meet you too....how long is the nurse assesment thing at the hospital? I still need to call them for that (thanks for the reminder, lol). I have my appt with Dr. Q. this afternoon.

I am getting very excited (and a tad nervous)...it's right around the corner :wink2:

Gina, The nurse assessment should be maybe an hour. That's what she said when I made the appointment. They do the whole history --- your past surgeries, etc...and what meds you take. I'll let you know tomorrow when I get back from it.

Good luck today. We're coming into the home stretch! I'm so ready! Are you going to the support group meeting tonight? If so, I'll see you there.

No, I can't make it tonight....we're doing a birthday thing for my hubby tonight (a day early :wink2:)

I had my surgery on October 1st and everything is going great so far. Only thing is I had no idea how often I drop things on the floor and have to pick it up - just so painful.

That is so true... I wasn't instructed to do much prior. Then kept reading people's posts and blogs and they say they had diets before hand. Just checking to make sure I didn't miss anything.

So you are banded on Oct 16th?

Yep the 16th... and I am so ready!

[we3601 0]

Hey Angelcake, We're band sisters...my date is 10/19 also.

I started the 2 week liquid diet on 10/5. Not enjoying it at all, but it's what the doc ordered. What kind of prep are you involved in?

[Deekel 0]

Hi everyone! My surgery date is Oct 19th! Just like WE3601, I also started my pre-op diet on 10/5.

[jenrobbar951 0]
