I'm going to Ontario to have lap band surgery on the 24th of August and i'm really really nervous.  I'm trying to be confident.... but i'm scared.

 Huge hugs!  I'm booked for September(sleeve) and pretty nervous! I suspect anything so life changing will be scary.  Are you doing a slimband? (in Ontario) where are you from?

I'm from Sherwood Park (Edmonton).  I'm going to the Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Missasauga.

I dont know if it's the shakes or what but i've had a headache for 3 days.... 

What made you choose the Sleeve?  (And good luck!!!)

 Oddly enough I started out booked for lapband,  I started to talk to woman on here and decided that the sleeve was a better option for me.  I did lots of research and then decided that I wasn't prepared to have to fuss with fills and slipping and I just honestly felt better when I looked at the sleeve. Such a personal choice picking which surgery to have.   Your soo close to your day I'm do excited for you! 
Are you doing a pre diet? If yes that's probably the headache!

 I start mine on sept 10th I'm hoping I'll do okay, my issue is I usually don't eat food till dinner and then snack up to bed time, so hoping it won't be a big shOck not eating but then I could be dillusional lol

Undoubtedly quite the understatement. What sort of pre-op diet do you get to follow?
Mine was "eat anything you like as long as you don't have more than 40 grams of carbs per day." Whiney me hated it (desperately missed veggies) Now I eat 6-800 calories a day AND generally keep my carbs that low and it's no big deal. What a difference the surgery makes!
