steveelea 61 Posted October 27, 2009 Hi all Im going to be banded on the 9th of November and I am very very excited!!!!!! I have been waiting a long long time for this and thinking about it for years. Looking into all the pro's and con's but I think for me the hardest part will be this pre-op shake diet BLAAHHHHHHH.....I hate it.....but I have the big picture in mind and It's only 2 weeks out of my life. Funny the pre-diet has been my dread from the begining. There is something about powdered milk shakes that is just not nice at all Does anyone else have a blog? If so, let's see it! Let's follow each other and be motivators! Great Idea!:scared2: I have just started a blog site at: My Lap Band Journey - Home Not much info on there as yet as I have only just started it, bhave found it helps to keep me motivated to talk about whats happening. I really need t try to keep motivated during this awful pre-op stage as I am finding it really hard. Look forward to the new group of November lap banders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myqueen80 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Hi everyone, I am to be banded on Nov. 9 and can't wait. I'm going for my pre-op class on Thurs., 10/29 and will get my final instructions. This has gone pretty quickly for me (about 2 months). I'm very hopeful but nervous. Good luck to all my fellow November bandsters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
