Anyone scheduled for lapband surgery within 2 weeks

Looking for some support and to give support:)

Well, I'm not having lap band but would love to chat with you about our surgeries. Emily

I would love to chat with you as well.  Susie

I'm a little further out than you (4/12) but I'm getting a band too! What's on your mind? Are you getting nervous? I'm not yet...but it's coming

Hi there!  I am nervous, excited, anxious and everything else.  I am on my 2 week liquid diet and it isn't very easy...can make you a little grumpy at times but I am surviving...actually it gets easier as the time goes on.  How are you feeling?  Do you have to do the 2 week liquid diet before?

As far as I know, my doc doesn't require the liquid diet so I'm VERY lucky.  I've been on a pre-op diet since my first visit in January though (pretty much follow band rules, <20g carbs a day).  So far I have lost 30 lbs on it, but it would be SOOO nice to have the surgery part over with and to start getting restriction and all of those good things.  I have my pre-op appt on Apr 7th, so if they come up with any last minute changes to that I guess I will know more then.

I hope that the liquid portion goes well for you.  I am not looking forward to the post-op weeks of liquids, but in a way I am looking forward to it.  Weird, huh?  Are you on a particular brand of protein drink, or do you get to try others to see what you like?  I still haven't found one I "like".
Either way, I hope the time flies!

I am having surgery on 4/5 but I am doing the RNY...Would still have fun chatting!!

I am scheduled for April 12th. I am excited, but really nervous!

 I am having lap-band surgery on April the 22nd......I would love to find people with similar dates.  Please drop me a line if you are interested in talking.  

Good Luck!
