Just got "the call" from the hospital. My surgery is on Monday AM at 9 o'clock AM. Must be there by 7. I am not so nervous about the surgery itself, but I am a bit nervous for what is to come after the band is in place...can not wait to sit on that losers' bench with the rest of you wonderful folks! Your posts have truly been a godsend to me!

Kim,
While you won't need it, wishing you all the best of luck come Monday. No need to be nervous, unless you're doing the operation on yourself? If not, then the skilled Doctor will have you in and out in no time.
I am putting the last finishing touches on your seat, and the varish should be dry at 9:01 a.m. Monday - so get ready to sit down!!
Make sure you let us know how things turn out.

Yea, I'm now on the Loser's Bench!!!! 
Well, yesterday I was little bit nervous for the first time but my husband kept me talking to hime and keeping me thinking of other stuff going on to help me keeping me relaxed. Got to the hospitol at 8 and surgery schedule for 10, as soon as going in the back it was busy all the nurses and the IV doctor were wonderful!! And the post-op was just as wonderful the recovery nurse was just as wonderful as the pre-op nurses. they gave me some ice water and to make sure that I was able to keep that down then they offered me juice, which I had apple juice a totally of 8 oz. I know they just wanted to make sure that I could drink. So now here it goes with all my walking and soon going back to the gym when I get clearance from my doctor, I will be seeing this weight start to melt off. And be able to matain it and NO MORE ROLLER COASTER!!!!!

Hi... I am six months post op with the Realize band. I haven't had one problem - knock on wood. I am however an A type person so I have followed all the orders from the doc to the dietitian. To date I am down 60 pounds and am just a few pounds away from being considered overweight as opposed to being considered obese on the BMI chart. I have had a fill every month for the past few months and am currently at 10cc's and I can still eat anything I want... luckily I have chosen to "test the boundary" only a few times but haven't had any problems with bread, pasta, rice. Good luck to you on your journey and congratulations on taking the steps towards giving yourself the gift of health.
