I just got approved for lap band on March 13, 2008. I'm so excited. I have been waiting my whole life for this opportunity! It has been a long journey trying to get approved that started two years ago. I'm so excited this support sight was recommended and I will need it. I'm excited , but scared of failure.

Congratulations and welcome to the Marchers Carolyn

yup... 2 weeks... lol... starting on the 18th liquids only.. no sugar... and i think its not even full liquids... sooo.... i will probably loose about 10-15 # just from that... i am excited and whatever it takes to get there after such a long wait... ya know?? I bet you are as excited as i am... 2 weeks 6 days and a wake up... Kandy

good luck, my date is the day after yours........I start my liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery. When do you start your?

A date of 3/17/08 has been set. I will be attending 2 classes this month as well as getting blood work and more tests done. I will be making an appointment with a psychologist soon as I can select one. Everything is looking quite good. I feel so excited about all this. I've been practicing chewing my food longer and drinking more fluids and trying to take my mind off food. I have been so awful to my body. I'm glad to finally get a better, way-better tool to fight this obesity monster.
