HOMG...I'm a bundle of emotions, too! I post on the main board occassionally and just posted that even with the upcoming surgery, I just feel like I'm going to fail. I'm not so worried about the actual procedure because I haven't thought about it! Welcome to the group! Can you believe that you're only four days away??!! Congratulations! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

I totally understand what you are feeling right now. I feel the same way. I found out last Wednesday 12/26/07 that my surgery date will be January 9, 2008. That's less than 2 weeks away. Oh My Goodness! I am having Lap-Band surgery with Dr. Koura here in Sacramento, CA. I will be having my pre-op appointment on January 3rd. I think the doctor will be putting me on a liquid and/or lower calorie diet for the week, but I'm not sure, we'll see. Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi guys.....Im on the 15th! My pre opp is on the 9th. I go in for my Ultrasound and EKG on monday! I get butterflies everytime I think about this surgery,lol....

I finally have a date. January 10, 2008!! I will be having the lap band surgery. I am so excited I cant sleep!! I am acting worse than my kids waiting for Santa!! LOL!

I am nervous but I am like that with surgery. I don't have to do a liquid diet BUT I did have to drop almost 20 pounds before hand. I am fighting to get those last 5 pounds back off since I went 11 pounds past what the Dr. wanted and I want to back to that on surgery day. Hardest obsticle will be not killing the hubby since he is already bugging me about when will be able to have sex again. Oh, and seeing my Grandma off since she is coming to CT from OH to help out.
