My surgery date is the same as yours and I've noticed in the last 48 hours that I'm craving everything in sight. I'm certain what's happening here is that I'm nervous and I'm attempting, as usual, to comfort myself with food. I figure next I'll be having either a panic attack or a temper tantrum. Once again it drives home the point that I must find a new way to deal with feelings. I can't keep running to my ole buddy "food". As for the regular "I'm gonna miss this food" feeling, I'm trying to stay focused on how happy I am to push back from the table once and for all. I've managed to stay away from the vending machine and the chocolate Zingers the last two days at work so I'm pretty proud of myself right now. And while I will be buying Halloween candy tonight, it will all have peanuts in it so I won't be tempted. (I'm deathly allergic to peanuts.) Hang in there November losers!

Hi everyone! I am new to this website and have found it to be so uplifting! Finally other people to talk to about what I have going on in my life and how I came to decide on Lap Band. My surgery date is 11/19 and would love to hear from others and be added to your friends list and I'd love to add you to mine. I think the thing I am most nervous about is what will happen afterwards and how I will feel as far as my food restrictions go. But, I know that I can handle it. Also, I was reading a post and someone mentioned that there are so many people wanting to get fills at their doctors office and they can't....there are too many people waiting for fills and not enough hours in the day to do them. I would hope that this will not be the case as what is the point of doing all of this if it can't be adjusted?? I will have to ask my doctor about this. Take care and I look forward to making some new buddies to share this experience with. Lisa :-D

Hi Tiffany - I'll be right behind you on the 14th. Time is flying now, isn't it?! Pam

Hooray for us! I hope next week we still are saying hooray! LOL! Best wishes! Robin
