Hi all!
 This is my 1st time posting.  Still getting used to the site.  I am leaving in 2 hours to go to NYC and my hotel room so I can be on time for my Sleeve surgery tomorrow.  So scared and nervous!  Extremely *****y and hungry since all I've had in 48 hrs is water, gatorade and sugar free ice pops :(    I really hope the hunger pangs go away after surgery.  Im excited to finally be taking control of my life and can't wait to see and feel all the changes that are about to happen!  I will be happy to answer any questions in a few days, for any of you that are scheduled later in  the month.  I wish everyone here lots of luck and courage!

Surgery date (lap band) set for 2/22/11... pre-op testing complete.  Cardiologist clearance received.  Pulmonary clearance this Thursday.... then what do i do?  Waiting has never been my cup of tea!

I do not have to do the liver shrinking diet, but i am going to try it.  I figure it will get me used to the 2 week liquids post-op. 

I did start a new blog to share my experience.  maybe that will keep me busy....

Hey everyone,
I hope ya'll don't mind that I went ahead and made a group for us.  This way we can chat and get to know each other better. 

Here's the link......

My surgery is the same day as yours also.  I am trying to prepare myself.  I hafta work on the nervous eating because it is really trying to get out of control now.  Keep us posted.  Best wishes.

I was browsing the groups section and I see lots of different places to become a member, but I was wondering if anyone here had already started a group for Feb 2011?
