Hi all - intro

Hi I was just approved yesterday, my date is 12/10 and I'm now finalizing all the loose ends. Thought I'd come here and join in with those that are scheduled in the same month. Look forward to getting to know you all. I have been working on this for 8 months now. I heard about Lapband through a radio show in April of this year. And I spent the rest of that day researching it. Went through a six month weight management program with my PCP and now I'm here. It seemed to have taken forever but it happened really quickly.

Hi back at you...my date is 12/13. I wish you the best of luck and cannot wait to hear more about your experience. I'm new to "obesityhelp" myself, looking forward to learning alot. Good luck to you and please keep us updated. Patty

Hello and welcome to the board. You have 2 weeks to go! It is so exciting and scary at the same time. We will be Lap-Band sisters! My surgery is on the 10th as well. Keep in touch!

Hey Danyelle. Yes it is exciting! I started my pre-op diet today.I didn't do bad at all...its 4 pm now ans I am starving! I had my "meal" at lunch. So tonight is a shake and jello and maybe some cheese!!! I have to attend a support meeting tonight...requirements fo the surgeon's office. Then tomorrow I have an ekg and chest xray and then I see my PCP on Saturday morn. after waiting for 8 months things are moving right along now. So how is your journey coming....LB sis????? Keep in touch

It's good to see you are in good spirits and hungry! I am starving like crazy. I am doing a liquid diet it is only 2PM where I am and I was freakin' HUNGRY!!!! So I cheated a little and had some cashews . I had a protein shake for breakfast, tried to drink some water, Sugar Free pudding . I had some broth and added a little top ramen seasoning YUCK!! it was too salty so I through it away and had another sugar free pudding. Tonight I will probably have some cream of wheat of another protein shake. I have to keep telling myself I can do it! Well the chest x-ray and ekg are veru easy you just sit/lay there. Let's see what day #2 brings! See you later!
