Hi,

My initial consult was yesterday, today I began the pre-op liquid diet and my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 21, 2009. Everything is moving soooo fast, but that's ok because I have wanted this for years! I'm nervous and hungry! I look forward to all the support and supporting others as well. Let the countdown begin...:thumbup:

Congrats Ariane! That is wonderful and exciting. My surgery is September 16th. There are a couple spots that are all people being banded in September. Come join one. :thumbup:

I hope I'm on the right sept group. I'm now on day 3 of liquid pre-op diet. I hope today is easier. I'm tired of being hungry and cranky. I do like drinking "muscle milk" because it tastes least like a Protein drink.

Ariane, we are being banded on the same day! I will start my liquid pre-op diet Monday. I am not looking forward to the diet, but I am ready to start my new life as a bandster!

Hi Sharie3,

Thanks for responding. That's really great that we are being banded the same day. We are very similar in age and weight. It will be so awesome to someone else who is in the exact same boat. I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet and it's a little easier. Don't get me wrong...it does suck, but I'm looking forward to the surgery and my new life.

I bought and rode a bike today for the first time in 20 years! I loved it and can't wait to weigh less so I can enjoy riding with my kids.

Thanks! I know...I'm excited and nervous. You only have 3 more days! OMG! I think I joined a Sept group, not sure. I'm still getting the hang of things on this site.
