[amartyn1 74]

hello fellow November 17th bandsters :biggrin: How is everyone doing the day before or new "rebirth" ? i have actually taken the day off because of so much accrued vacation time ,plus the wonderful bowel prep my surgeon requires -- but i am keeping myself busy with projects around the house ! i have finished all of my shopping for the new journey post op and just need to pack an over night bag.

I wish all of the best to all of you !!! You have all come this far and will do wonderful :tt2: Remember it is all a state of mind .. we can conquer food and not vise versa ...........

Congrats! You have to be so excited. My date for banding is on Nov. 19. I was so excited when I learned what my date would be, and I still am. I'm not at all concerned about the surgery. I imagine it will be somewhat like the gall bladder surgery I had only about three and one half weeks ago. The "Battle of the Bulge" has been a long fight for me and I imagine for most, if not everyone who is banded or is on there way to having it done. I am so looking foreward to losing additional weight along with the 63 pounds I have already lost on my 6 mo. doctor supervised diet.

Good luck and wishing you great success!! :w00t:

Hey, Amartyn1!

How are you doing since your banding on Nov. 17th? I know you are only very earily into this but I hope each day is getting easier for you. Congratulations!!!

I am leaving for the hospital in about 45 min. to have my Lap Band and I am floating on air. Check in time is 9:15 and surgery is schedule for 11:15. Can't wait! :confused:

HI everyone. Just checking in to see how you all are coming along since your surgeries on Tuesday! Mine went really well/ Was in and out in a couple hours and thanks to awesome pain meds I have been resting quite comfortably. The pain is not too bad so far. Doc has me on liquid diet stilll till at least Thanksgiving. I am feeling much better today and getting around better. I am pretty swollen still so I have what feels like restriction I guess. Its my first glimpse of what life will be like with the band and I am so excited !!!!!!!!! This is amazing that I feel full after just a little Soup and Water. Everythings getting cold before I can even get close to finishing it. What a trip :thumbup: This is going to be quite a ride. I can't believe this really happened. Just three months ago I made up my mind to have Lap Band surgery and now here I sit with my band in place and sip sip sipping my Water. Its all so unreal...someone pinch me!

I hope all of you are recovering quickly and being well taken care of. I think we should all form a group for people banded on Nov 17th 2009....anyone game? I need a lap band buddy anyway and Im betting some of you do too

Its funny you mention that everything gets cold before you can even finish it. Thats how it is with me...a glass of applejuice, its up warm....its crazy.

Uggh, I got hiccups...those hurt.
